Home Sweet Home

Several of you have asked for pictures of our new home.

Please remember that I am the blogger

and my husband is the realtor, so his "house"

pictures would probably be better, but...

Welcome to our front porch.

Right now there are beautiful tulips blooming.

This picture of the dining room is taken with a

wonderful Iphone app that my friend Marla

told me about called Pano. With it, you can take a

panoramic view of a big space. I am still playing with it.

This is the living room taken with the same app, but I messed up

a little so you have a somewhat warped view of our living

room. I guess you'll just have to come

and see it for yourself.

Breakfast area overlooking the deck.

Being a southern girl, I love oak cabinets,

so was thrilled that this home has them.

I have never had a home office of my own.

I have always shared with David.

This one is all mine! Not surprisingly,

it is filled with antique

school items and lots of children's

books.

My retirement present of a library

card catalogue is being put

to practical use with all kinds of

office items stored away in

the little drawers.

This is the basement. For those of you who

are observant, you will notice that

sunlight is coming in one window

but not the other. That is because behind the window is

a hot tub. Yes, you heard correctly, a hot tub.

It might not last too long so you better

come and see us soon if you want to enjoy it.

This is the guest bedroom with my grandmother's

bedroom suite. I used to climb up on this

bed and thought it was so high. Has it shrunk,

or have I gotten taller?

The shower curtain in the guest bathroom is

made from a quilt topper from my grandmother.

This sign is in the guest quarters.

My son-in-law loves to ring it when

he visits. You'll have to ask him

about the house service. It's pretty

nonexistent.

This is the lower deck looking down on the

infamous hot tub.

This is the upper deck waiting for some outside

furniture. I don't want just anything. I think

I'll be combing the antique stores until

I find just what I "need". Any excuse will do

to go antique shopping.

Hope you enjoyed the guided tour.

Come and see us.

The welcome mat is out and we'll

leave the porch light on.
