Blog Tour of Homes

Welcome! I've been expecting you...which is to say that I tidied up because I knew you were coming. If you care to, you may click on the image to see the fingerprints, dust and dog hair. I said I "tidied," which is a different thing than "cleaned," isn't it?

This is the house, built in the late '70s, that we bought when baby #3 came along four years ago. Who knew such a tiny body would require us to double our square footage? Actually, it was the homeschooling and the new baby that sent us searching. The Lord was gracious. We used to be on a main road, but now are wound in so tight that friends have trouble finding our home twice!





This is where I blog if I have pictures to post, or if I'm just checking real quick during the day...hmph! yeah, right -- just checking! I sit in the far left corner and someone almost always follows me into the room. The decor somehow doesn't reflect my style, but I like the room nonetheless -- it's very peaceful, and it's usually the tidiest room in the house. Yes, the violins are real (student caliber) violins. Not all 3 are in use right now. Fifi has outgrown the middle one -- it's waiting for Dumpling to reach size.

The bookshelves are the best ever built! Scandia from The Container Store. You can stand grown men on them and they will not bow -- ever.






Below, is our family room. In the evenings I'll blog on that couch with Husband's hand-me-down dinosaur of a lap-top (though I'm glad to have it -- it serves the purpose).

Y'all think I'm crazy to have 3 young children and white couches, don't you? *shhhh* Come close, I'll tell you all a secret. Those are $6/60-inch yard canvas slip covers that I sewed to place over Cort Rental Center returned rejects for cheap, cheap, cheap! When they get dirty (and they do...and they are) I take them off and wash them -- bleach them if I have to. No Sharpies allowed though!

The legs on the coffee table used to be just stained, but our first dog (who doesn't live here anymore) chewed one of them off, so Husband sculpted a new one with Bondo and spray painted to cover the fix. Go ahead and laugh...at me, with me, whatever! I'm amused by it myself.







Here's our kitchen. Husband painted the cabinetry white and we laid wood floor ourselves last December. Gotta love that drop ceiling!








Oh No! That's the wrong door. You don't need to see that -- that's just my laundry room. Ha ha ha...ahem...


Thanks for stopping by. Can you stay for awhile longer? I want to tell you about how I met this wonderful Man (not my husband, though he, too, is pretty wonderful) a few years ago...
