It has been nearly a year since we moved into our 'Forever House.' I posted Open House pictures back in March even though we hadn't finished settling in, and a few of the pictures were taken before we moved in.
Since I have spent the last week cleaning and organizing in anticipation of hostessing book club (isn't entertaining a great catalyst?), it seemed like an ideal time to invite all of you to another open house. So, welcome, and come on in! Our library/school room is straight ahead through the French doors. (Unfortunately, it became my 'stash and dash' room, so I will post pictures later... Grin.)
Below is our living room. The kitchen is again straight ahead (we'll go there last of all so we can sit and enjoy some hot spiced cider). The hallway is the opening on the left. We'll head down there in just a moment.
This is the view from the kitchen doorway~ looking back toward the front door.
We've now walked down the hallway to the master bedroom. Some day we'll have a master suite, but until then we'll enjoy this cozy little room.
I hesitated to show you this messy picture, but if you were here you would see it. Russ built me these wonderful shelves which I have yet to organize. I still use one of the dressers as a changing table (when it isn't covered with clothing and what not) since we don't have space in the boys' room.
This is the hallway view from our room back into the living room. Through the curtained doorway is the tiny stairway leading up to the playroom. If you were really here, you would still not be allowed up there. Maybe tomorrow. Or the next day. To the right is the boys' room.
Ah, we are now entering my favorite room. The quiet room. Sometimes. Leif is only taking naps in here. At night he sleeps in the play pen in the school room. It's soaking in and he will be brilliant by the age of 3.
Oh, Heidi! It's absolutely gorgeous! I love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful, charming home! Will you come and make mine look pretty like yours? I can do basics, but accessorizing is not my thing. You are awesome at that!

Oh, wow! Someday will you be my cyber-decorator? Your home is truly beautiful and I *love* the splash of red I saw in many of the rooms.
ReplyDeleteI cannot decorate to save my life - organize yes, decorate no! It's a sad truth. Dh would do a better job than I could!
Thanks for sharing,

What a beautiful home! We are in the midst of re-doing an old home and I love looking at pictures of others' homes for ideas. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job! Very inspiring! (yes, I need an exclamation mark on all those sentences even though I don't like to overuse them)
ReplyDeleteI love all your special touches around the house and your use of space - we have small homes in common. How many square feet is yours? Ours is about 1400-1500. I love your leather chairs. Very cool. And I am happy to know that I am not the only one with lots of things on top of my fridge. :)
Have a great time with your friends!
What a charming home! Love the neutrals with bright splashes of color. Love the painted furniture, too! Thanks for sharing. I might steal some decorating ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous! I love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, your house is amazing!! I wish I was blessed with your talent.
ReplyDeleteI like that your home is not a cookie cutter version of the PBarn catalog. That's not to say I don't like PB it's just that when you infuse your home with your own brand and personality it is so much more a home. Beautiful, elegant, cozy...good stuff, thanks for sharing..maybe I'll go play in one of my rooms and redecorate
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a beautiful house.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful colors.

ReplyDeleteVery nice, I love the colors you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog. You have a unique way of surrounding your life with graceful beauty. Your family and boys are blessed to have you as their mom! Thanks, for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful!!!!!
