We are currently the owners of two houses, a rather unfortunate situation these days. We look forward to and also dread the upcoming spring and summer because that means lovely weather, but it also means grass growing at the wrong house! And grass needs watered and cut and weeds need pulled. Oh man, I just don’t want to think about all that right now.
We are really enjoying being a part of a much bigger community, closer to some grandchildren and closer to the big food stores and closer to kids’ activities. We, along with two other families have all purposed to live a couple houses away from each other, so the adventure has begun and this week the third family moves into their newly completed home. It will be a grand old party sometimes and probably some rubbing shoulders that we’d rather avoid. But hopefully it will mostly be iron sharpening iron.
I am very excited we can seat ten people without adding chairs or leaves to the table
My dad made this and it hung in my dining room until one day it came crashing to the floor AND survived!
The temptation to shake, rattle and roll these bars is irresistible to small children
Taite is always in the kitchen these days eating, eating, eating, she must be growing
I was planning on a little more color and tile pattern but ended up much preferring the sedate, elegant look.
Meghan had the idea for the tile details
I kinda wonder if this beautiful tile was wasted upstairs in the kids' bath.
This little wine box sat in our old house kitchen never suspecting it held the key to our new address.
The wind and dust is amazing here and I think a lawn will be even more so.
These windows are spectacular for viewing, but I do wonder how I'm going to clean them.
The whale teeth are a kitch thing I got in Key West, FL and still like
This beautiful wood piece came from my mother-in-law, it's a favorite thing
I was afraid this would look too Spanish galleon but it turned out well
Your house looks so spare now! You were serious about clearing things out. Looking at those pictures made me realize how different our styles are probably going to look when all the posts are done– not drastically– but we definitley all have a different flavor.
I think you need to plant some grass.
love the Spanish galleon look. man, can’t wait to visit!
We want you to come visit!!
My house is pretty much sparse and I am really liking it!
It is so clean I felt like I needed to run around this weekend and make a mess here and there to make it feel like real people live in it!
It’s wonderful how all your furniture and accessories just seem to really “fit” the space.
Thanks mom! I wanted to put a picture of great grandpa Georg’s rug on the site but it kept loading onto the site sideways.
Terri, Can’t wait to see it in person….we have a similar light like the Spanish one and it’s one of my favs. Your place looks amazing! This is a great blog and I am SOOOO enjoying it.
Thanks Becky! We need to get together again!!!
