Hi, friends!
I can’t wait until October 5th when we get to host you for the 2024 FunCycled Fall Festival, hosted at our Repurposed Idea House. To get all of the information, visit (link to the blog). One of the things I like most about hosing Festivals and Open Houses is to give people an opportunity to come inside and tour our home. It is so special and has been such a blessing to my family! This home has been so much more than a place to live for us, we have built memories beyond compare, we have poured blood, sweat, and tears into reimagining it from what it once was and it has served as a haven for our friends and family. And I have been able to design every room into a place that captures the heartbeat of the Trop family!

Whether you are able to join us for a tour, or have already been on a tour, I have detailed some of the downstairs rooms for you to browse and actually shop for yourself! Enjoy, but as always, even the best pictures can’t quite capture the full essence and beauty of anyone’s home, so I hope you will be able to join us for the day and to tour our home!
Entryway
One of my favorite things is to share my favorite vintage finds with our guests as soon as they walk into our home. In our Repurposed Idea House, we have the pleasure of greeting friends and family with treasured finds which tell of the cherished moments we have had as a family!
Here are some of the products, up close and personal.

Family Room
If you walk through the doorway that sits just to the right of the mustard yellow vanity in our entryway, you will enter the family room and adjoining dining room area.
This room is a pretty large, but by breaking it up with a cozy seating area, we are able to designate the rest of the room for our dining area. I love that this allows for adults to engage with the kids!
PRODUCT LIST & LINKS FOR FAMILY ROOM
- Rug – Amazon
- Couch – Amazon (this is a similar one to what we have, but is not an exact match)

- Coffee table, dresser and armoire – vintage repurposed by FunCycled
Dining Room
One thing we needed to consider with our dining area is that the space was very open but because of the layout and placement of the doors, we needed a long and narrow table. So, my husband, John, built this custom table to fit the room exactly. We often think of creating built -ins for our homes, but making custom fitting furniture items is not a usual go-to when we are planning out the room, but it can make such a huge difference!

- Metal Farm Chairs – Amazon
- Table – custom built by FunCycled
As I said, the Dining Room and Family Room are actually in one larger room. Below, you will see a picture of the whole space, as well as a paint swatch of the color that is painted on the walls: Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist
Living Room
As can often be the case, the flow of the room can be interrupted by the need to create a walkway or to account for an area for a pass through. I have a few of these areas in my home, but I think the most frequently passed through area in our home is walking through the living room to the kitchen.
