Karla over at Karla's Cottage is hosting a Romantic Country Party and has asked us to share what we love about our homes. Please visit Karla and all her friends today by clicking here.
I love EVERYTHNG about my home...and it's truly a "home", not just a bunch of building supplies. It's the center of my universe. When my husband and I bought it 23 years ago it was mostly uninhabitable, full of mousies and everyone thought we were crazy. ( Well, we were!) A lot of years, and a LOT of sweat equity later, we have a wonderful home and I thank God every day for it.
I love the clutter of my studio...
Yes, I work in utter chaos...wouldn't have it any other way!
I love the "overflow-from-my-studio" space (hey, I'm getting ready for a big show!)...This is where a nice carpet and grand piano will go someday...
I love my kitchen, with its unfinished cabinets (handmade by my hubby, and no, we still don't have cabinet or drawer pulls yet!) and my Wolfie stove and my great big, honking sink (full of dishes, of course!). Every day this space gives me great joy because it is the heart of our home, where we come togther to do homework, prepare food and hang out. (Note the beautiful bouquet of roses on the island from my hubby to celebrate our 24th anniversary yesterday!!!)
My house is not tidy, or decorated or even "finished"... but it is full of hard work and love...and it is just perfect!

Laurie. I LOVE your house!! What a treat it is to get to see it. Your kitchen is beautiful, and you have a very talented (and romantic) husband!!
I would love to explore every nook and cranny of that studio, but you'd have to keep a close eye on me in case I'd be tempted to sneak some of that glorious fairy dust out of there!!!
Thanks for the tour...it truly is a perfect home!

what a truly beautiful kitchen, just how I would love my kitchen to be. You clearly have a wonderful HOME in the true sense of the word. x
Our house is still in bachelor/toddler mode. I long for the day when we can start adding color and style to my home. My house is semi tidy, I'm not a cleaner, never was. One of my scrappin girls made a good point~ "people that tidy too much are often boring people"
Love your kitchen! Your studio is wonderful too! I like studio's messy, then you know they are really used. I love the glitter pedestals! Are you going to be listing any on your etsy site?
I'm late to the party 'cause there are just too many great homes to visit in one day! Love your glittery mess. Looks like my mess when I create. But I must admit it drives me a bit crazy to work that way! Maybe if I through some glitter into the mix!
Thank you for sharing photos of your studio. Mine is in the beginning stages and I am looking forward to having a place of my own to work.
I've enjoyed your blog ~ I love glitter too!
Oh I love the pictures of your house, so beautiful and oh so normal to me, I too would love to play at your house, it looks like such fun. I love your blog so glad I found it, don't know how but i am here now and will stay for a longer visit. Have a wonderful day, KN Linda Lilly Cottage.
