I’m Back With a Final Home Tour and Exciting News!

Simplicity in the South home tour exterior

Hello again! Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve posted but I’m finally back…ready for a new start and so excited to share some new projects with you. But first, let me catch up.

I put my old house on the market and it was under contract within a week. I didn’t expect it to sell that quickly considering the market but I have a feeling it was meant to be for the new buyer. The old house, which I will affectionately call The (Outdated) Wood Rancher, was perfect for my growing family but now it’s time for me to restart my new life in my new home.

The Wood Rancher was a 1600 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home built in 1985. First and foremost, it needed updating and character. Then, every square foot needed to be organized to work for a family of five. I’ll keep the words to a minimum and let you enjoy the pictures. So without further ado, here’s the final home tour of the home my boys and I left behind.

Here’s the kitchen that I never got around to showing you. Before we put it on the market, I added beadboard wallpaper and moulding to the soffits.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of the old house. I’m so excited to show you what I planned for the new one! Say hello to house #2…the 100 year old Craftsman. I couldn’t have imagined I would’ve gotten as far as I have already. This house allows me to expand my love of design and DIY. With new projects completed and more underway, you will be hearing back from me really soon!!!

  1. Hi, I just found you on Pinterest when doing a search for blue kitchen tables. Can you tell me about your white chairs paired with the kitchen table? Are they the PB Aaron chair? I have some of those and would like to add a couple more, but they are really large and are awkward when pushed under my square blue table. The lines are identical to yours. Thanks.
    By the way, the new owners of your ranch got a really sweet deal! Excellent job with your renovations!!

    1. Hi Carolyn,

      I still miss my old house but I’m happy the new owner is taking such good care of it. I bought the chairs from Target about 10 years ago and still love them. I looked to see if they still sell them and saw similar ones but not the exact ones. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Divorce is so tough Tricia! I know, I have been through it. So glad that you are doing better now though and back to blogging. Can’t wait to see your new home!

  3. Hi from Melbourne! Congrats on your new home – can’t wait to see all your new lovely projects 🙂

  5. Yea!! I am SO glad you are back! I’ve checked your blog numerous times over the last couple years and was thrilled to see a new post! For our family Christmas drawing last year I made your Restorarion Hardware knockoff coffee table and it was a huge hit! Looking forward to your inspiring posts 🙂

  6. Would you come remodel my house for me? LOL! Love your design! So beautiful, open, and fresh! Keep up to good work, because you are so inspiring to the rest of us!

  7. Tricia that’s so exciting! Hate I didn’t stick around the upstate to come help along in your projects! I love your design techniques and would love to be able to mimic your DIY capabilities. I can’t wait to see what you do to the new home. And congratulations! {insert happy face}

    FYI: I was the NNP student on nights with Ginger! Love following you here and on Pinterest!

  8. I was hoping you weren’t gone forever! I see ideas here that I would love to incorporate in my kitchen remodel. My one day remodel. The bead board wallpaper???
