Explore #221 The second-oldest monastery in Prague, Strahov was founded high above Malá Strana in 1143 by Vladislav II. It's still home to Premonstratensian monks, a scholarly order closely related to the Jesuits, and their dormitories and refectory are off-limits. What draws visitors are the monastery's ornate libraries. Over the centuries, the monks have assembled one of the world's best collections of philosophical and theological texts, including illuminated (decorated with colored designs) manuscripts and first editions. There are more than 42 000 old prints. The rich wood-accented Philosophical Library's 14m-high (46-ft.) ceiling is decorated with a 1794 fresco entitled The Struggle of Mankind to Know Real Wisdom, by A. F. Maulpertsch, a Viennese master of rococo. Intricate woodwork frames the immense collection of books. View On Black

After about a year of being married, Jesse and I decided to start looking for a house. We were looking for a 'new' house, but ended up falling in love with an old 1970's fixer upper. Over the past five years, we've learned to do a lot with a little, and we've slowly turned our once outdated house into a home we love. Most of that journey is documented on this blog. So, let's tour the house. We'll go room by room, see where things started, and see how far we've come. The house tour will be fairly brief, but I'll include a link to each post that goes more in depth about each room in case you want to see more about that space. Let's start in the dining room. This is how it looked on day one. and here it is from the opposite direction... And this is what it looks like today. And from the opposite direction. You can find the original dining room post here. Next up is our living room. When we first moved in, it looked like this. And this is what it looks like today. This room is still very much a work in progress, but you can find some of the original posts here and here. This is what our entryway looked like on the day we moved in (yikes). And here it is today. The kitchen started out like this... And today looks like this. We haven't yet been able to renovate the kitchen entirely, but we did paint the kitchen cabinets white and add chalkboard paint to the interiors of each cabinet door. We currently use one of our spare bedrooms as the home office. It started out looking like this. And now it looks like this. Original office posts can be found here and here, and gold leaf art tutorial (above) can be found here. Our other spare bedroom is used as a guest room. You can see version one here. And version two here. And version three. And the most recent version (my favorite) here. Our master bedroom started out like this. And looks like this today. The original master bedroom posts can be found here, here, here, and here. Our master bathroom started out like this. And today looks like this. Our guest bathroom started out like this. And today it looks like this. And last but not least, we are currently working on renovating the downstairs level of our house and you can check out the beginnings of that here. and the finished reveal of the basement here! And that's the house tour! Thanks so much for being here! If you are looking for even more ideas, check out my 50+ budget decorating ideas here. That's all for today!!
