Summer Tour of Homes

Today I want to participate in the “Summer Tour of Homes Link Party”. Ya’ll might be sick of seeing house tours, but wait, I actually don’t think that I have been posting too many, have I?

Well I have enjoyed seeing all the fabulous blog home tours this week and it made me want to participate at least somewhat. Did you guys follow along and see all the tours too?

This post is to link up to The Shabby Creek Cottage today. I took some new photos too.

You can also check out all kinds of other blog’s homes there that are linking up by clicking HERE. Should be fun!

It’s the typical Pennsylvania standard tiny home. And the outside has to stay this way but I actually have been thinking about breaking the rules to see what would happen. How about a mint green door? Or something brighter? Ha, let’s see!

Our patio and rock garden is in full bloom right now
and it’s one of my favorite spots on our tiny property.

Are you wondering what that strange thing is on the fence?
It’s our cat enclosure.

And the kitties are enjoying their outdoor catio:

Yes, don’t say it…I know I’m crazy!
But I don’t care 😉
It’s so hard to put yourself out there and show it all because I never feel like anything is done.
It’s an illness I think! I love our home though even if I see the unfinished projects.

Our Son’s Room
Our Daughter’s Room
Her room is on the top of my makeover list and I think she is finally on board and ready to move on.
So coming fall, when we are stuck inside more again we will work on it.
I’m thinking different colors, larger headboard… I can’t wait! Stuff like that really gets me excited!
My daughter and my son  both dropped our camera,
so the pictures are pretty blurry. Sorry!
Our Hallway
So this is it!

    Wow! I guarantee you, I never once thought “tight budget” when looking at your gorgeous pictures! And the awesome way you carried the deer through little details…it’s a very happy house! 🙂

    • Julia Konya says

      Thank you so much Gillian. And that’s what I want it to be. A happy house. I love adding silly things to the home that a lot of people don’t like 😉 but I’m so happy when someone gets it 😉

  7. [email protected] says

    Thank you so much for sharing your home on the tour!

  11. Kimberly Glinski says

    Your house is so beautiful and creative. There are just so many good things that I can’t pick just a few. Beautiful! I’m in PA also. I wonder if we’re close? 🙂

  16. Jesse Bodine says

    I will never ever tire of home tours and I have to say your pics are amazing!!! They look professional, Julia!!!! And of course, your home is AMAZING….I was really checking out how you created two separate sitting areas in your living room. I love that! 😉 Jesse @ Scout & Nimble

  21. Stacey says

    You are so creative and everything is gorgeous! I have to say the catio is something I’ve never seen but so clever!! Our cat isn’t allowed outside but she would sure love that and she’d be safe. Love all the colors you’ve incorporated. The big white cuckoo clock is great!

  22. Shavonda says

    You’re home is so beautiful Julia. Love all the wonderful personal touches you’ve added. And though I’m not a cat person, I think your catio is genius! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    • Julia Konya says

      Thanks so much and you know what? My cats have converted quite a couple non-cat lovers to like them now because they are awesome. LOL!

  23. Christina @ Floridays Mom says

    You should never be afraid to put it out there…your home is absolutely gorgeous and you have such an incredible eye and taste. I love your mix of modern and classic, just beautiful!!!!!

  24. Miss Charming says

    I love your style, Julia! You know how to combine patterns and accessories beautifully. And I’m digging the stag perched on your fridge. I wish we were neighbors so my kitty could come over for play dates in the catio. Me too, of course. (Although, I don’t think I would fit too well in the catio, myself.)

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    • Julia Konya says

      The stag was from an auction and I love him. I named him Karl.
      I wish we were neighbor’s too and you could tell me about werewolves over glass of wine LOL but I don’t think my cats welcome any playdates. That’s when the claws come out.

  25. Brittany Cramer says

    wow, your home is so fun! I can’t get enough of home tours, hopefully soon I’ll get the rest of my loft situated to finally be able to participate in tours like these. I love your style too! You have an eye for gold, like me 🙂 xoxo

  33. Alicja says

    xoxo

  37. Brandi says

    Oh my Julia! Your home is beautiful. You have such a great eye for design. I love all of the personal touches throughout your home.

  41. simply selman says

    I love your home and just stumbled upon your blog today. I looked through your other home tour and couldn’t find what paint colors you used. Could you point me in the right direction? (I am specifically looking at the gray you used in the kitchen/living room/master.) Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!

    • Julia Konya says

      Hi, in my living room is: Seashell Gray 4003-1A by Valspar and in my dining room, kitchen and bedroom: Rocky Bluffs 4003-1C by Valspar. Hope that helps.

  42. Emily Maldonado says

    What a fun house tour! You really have a great eye. Everything looks so pulled together. I always struggle with pulling it all together. I love how some of the pieces just make the whole room look expensive like that little marble top table and your coffee table.

  43. Yvonne Urra-Bazain says

    You have made a breathtaking home for you and your family. I hope to peruse your blog regularly to get inspiration for the design phase of our apartment remodel. Thank you for sharing your talents!

  44. tracy says

    your house is beautiful, but what really does it for me is your ‘catio’ ~ Fabulous! I love that you care enough about your babies to go to all that trouble so they can enjoy the outdoors safely! great job!

    • Julia Konya says

      Hi Karen, I’m sorry to tell you that the paint isn’t available anymore. At least at our Home Depot they stopped selling the Ralph Lauren paints. This one is a silver! But if I remember correctly they told me it was discontinued.

    What a gorgeous house! Was wondering where you got the pink and black bins in your daughters room? Also do you know by chance what kind of wood floor you have? We want to get our floors done, and I love your color. Thanks so much!
