When we first step into any house, we know almost instantly if we feel at home, and everyone desires a home.
People who have to go to work everyday need a refuge from the stress of the workplace, and that place should be their home. For those of us who work from home, we need areas of the house where we can go and find our refuge. We all desire to create just the right balance in a house where every member of the family can feel at home. That is what you will find in the House of Rumpley.
From the kitchen to the den, to the bedrooms and bathrooms, you will find wonderful decorating ideas, as well as DIY projects, which happen to be among my own personal favorites.
Let's take a peek through some of the doors at the various rooms and floors in the House of Rumpley.
The Kitchen in the House of Rumpley
As I would do if I were touring any home or department store, I will start in the kitchen area. My own home kitchen is painted blue, so I am instantly drawn to the article about Red Kitchen Ideas. I love the idea of adding touches of red in my kitchen, but Bev goes further than just recommending small red appliances. She actually explains the effect the color red has on all of us and why we would desire including it in our kitchens.
I also loved the coffee decor post!
Be sure to take a look at the other fun ideas Bev "rounds up" for us on the Decorating Kitchens floor at House of Rumpley.
More Decorating Ideas from House of Rumpley
While the kitchen demands my immediate attention, the other rooms of our homes are equally as important when it comes to beautiful decor.
There are fabulous ideas for Decorating Family Rooms, Living Rooms, and Decorating Kids Rooms, but don't miss out on visiting the bathrooms in this house. While there are several really beautiful suggestions for bathroom decor on House of Rumpley, the ideas that really caught my attention were the ones that made me howl with laughter. I do love a home that is filled with laughter! You simply will not believe where the toilet brush is hidden. I am laughing even as I write this article and remember the most unusual accent piece in this bathroom. (No, I'm not going to tell you! You have to look for yourself.)
Decorating by Themes in House of Rumpley
When decorating our homes, there are times when we want a consistent theme. House of Rumpley has you covered there too. With themes like "Granny Chic Decor", Decorate with Red, White & Blue", and "Steampunk Style Home Office", anyone would be intrigued to explore the depths of these decorating styles and suggestions.I may not be a "granny" myself, but I gotta tell you. That Granny Chic Decor has my name written all over it.
The House of Rumpley Network of Sites
Now, we have explored a few areas of the foundation site of House of Rumpley, but I do want to take a few minutes to delve deeper into the complete network of sites.The House of Rumpley network includes several sites and Bev aptly describes the different areas of her site as floors in the House of Rumpley. I love that description! It immediately brings to mind a home with multiple levels or my favorite department store with several floors.
Like many families and homes, the House of Rumpley has expended and grown over the years. Just as members of any family can be found at various addresses, different "floors" of the House of Rumpley network are found online under different url addresses. They each have their own "personality" or topic, but they are all equally wonderful and fun to visit.
Thank you so much, Cynthia! It warms my heart that you enjoyed the floors of my ever growing little department store!
