An Oldie but a Goodie
Happy Thanksgiving!
This year we are going to my parents house for Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to the great food and the company of family and friends. This is a picture taken with my phone of my table last year in our old house.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Quality Time
This is where my husband and I spend most of our quality time together. In the morning after our daughter is off to school we sit here with our cups of coffee and watch the geese and ducks fly away for the day. Then in the evening they all come back and settle in for the night.
I took this picture a few weeks ago before the leaves really started changing…
I am not sure what we will do when the temperatures drop. Maybe some new comfy chairs by the fireplace will do the trick.
Familiar Dallas Home
Back in March of 2010 I posted about this Dallas home that was on the market at the time…
When I was looking through the new Traditional Home, I thought this home looked familiar…
This family room has me in the mood to start decorating for Christmas. Do you decorate for Christmas? If so, when do you usually get started?
Kitchen Nook Before & After
The first time we looked at this house we could barely make it through the entire tour. The smell was horrible and there was actual dog poop on the carpet in various rooms. Initially we planned on tearing the house down because it seemed so hopeless but, after an inspection where we were told the house was built very well and figuring out costs, we decided to renovate. We had the place gutted and knocked down some walls here and there. New insulation, new drywall, all new appliances, flooring ripped out and concrete subfloors had to be treated and sealed to block odors several times, ceilings scraped, and the list goes on.
Here is the kitchen nook when we first walked through with a realtor…
On closing day when the previous owner had moved out…
Here is the kitchen nook now…
After a lot of going back and forth I am so happy we went with the Arteriors Versailles chandelier. It is one of the first things you notice when you walk into the house and it brings a lot of life to the space.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
I’ll Take It
In my last post I showed you Barry Dixon’s Virginia farm. Today I want to show you another gorgeous property on the other side of America in Santa Barbara. Imagine a lazy Saturday hanging out at home here…
You can see the listing for this home here.
Virginia Farm
I am in love with Barry Dixon’s Virginia Farm featured in Traditional Home magazine. I could just imagine strolling around the property with my dogs in tow.
I hope you are having a great week!
