Part 2 of the house tour

The dining room--

Some of the wood had to be repaired on the cupboard there & we haven't got it re-painted yet.




On thru the french doors into the living room. Yes, I painted these rooms the same color as I did my rooms in the other house last year. I loved the color, and wasn't ready to be done with it! (and I just realized that it's about exactly the color of my blog background!!)



The view thru the windows to the "front" porch is inviting. The windows are old. The glass is wavy. The tops of the windows are diamond panes, and really cool. Yes, my sister says they are very "cool" in the winter too!! :D


Back from the living room thru the dining room...


That's all for today--now would you like to join me for lunch with homemade strawberry pie? Yes, the whipping cream is "real" too!!



I love my dishes. I received a set of four of the cups and bowls for Mothers day to match the plates I'd gotten last year. Longaberger is one of my favorite things in life!

  15. Maxine - I nearly gasp at each new picture you put up. Love the colors and styles you have in your furniture. And those views are awesome. I'll bet they'll become ordinary and every day after a while, but I know you're loving the newness of it all. Beautiful home. How do the kids like the changes?
