In response to encouragement from HolyMama, I am participating in BooMama’s Bloggy Tour of Homes. Trouble is this: I have been focussing on learning something new this week and wasn’t really thinking about doing this. So what you see is what it’s really like here right now.
The front door image ~ Because my frugal people have been blogging about staying cool, I wanted to show this picture. Taken in the morning, and my house faces east, you can see the umbrella is entirely shading one window. Very effective!
Where I blog ~ a corner of the living room. With kids at home, I highly recommend the computer be located in a central place. Promotes accountability and discourages family fragmentation.
The living area ~ from another angle.
The kitchen ~ desperately in need of a makeover, but nowhere near the top of the list yet.
See the dishwasher? It’s just for show. We haven’t plumbed it in because to use it, we would have to take the drawer next to it out.
And, because this is a fashion blog, my closet:
great house! i love the living room. the wood floors are beautiful!
LOL!! I love the umbrella idea, and our computer is in the middle of our living room too – Lil’ Duck isn’t old enough to be really on it yet, but it just worked out that way with the outlets and such!
whooo hooo a fashion blog…girlfriend I am adding you to my bloglines!!!
I love anything to do with that!
Hey, loved your place…come see me sometime!!
😀
I’d do anything for a beautiful entry like that… love the red door!
Thanks for the tour. I think your house is quite cute!
Thanks for showing your lovely home – the red door adds punch and liveliness to it 😉 I’ll have to do something like this when I move into my new place in Mexico! (Of course, I’ll have to post it at this blog though!)…
Hey Maria, it’s good you stopped by to look, since I did once offer to sell it to you. ;D
Thanks so much for sharing your home with us..it’s very warm & inviting:-) I love the wood floors in your living room…I eventually want to get rid of all my carpets and put wooden flooring in. Thanks again for the tour:-)
I love the outside. So beautiful. And you even tied it in by showing your closet. Good work. I recognized your handle from my friend Katrina’s blog, I think, so I popped to the bottom!
The red foor is perfect!
Your home is so warm and cozy.
Thanks for letting us tour.
Thanks for the tour of your home. I love the view of your front door.
cute! 🙂
Cute closet!!:)
And…. I love the rest of our house, too – especially the umbrella. My husband would think that is a slick idea!
Blessings!
Thanks for the tour!!!!
Very cute house, your living area is so cozy. You are so right about the computer being in a central location, good idea. Thanks for sharing your home.
Oh, yes, and I think you tried to sell me your Audi as well, right? Ha!
You have a nice home & nice blog, too. Thanks for visiting me today.
You have a lovely home! I like the style of your coffee table. Thanks for sharing!
