Entry--from the inside
What do we call this "room"? I don't really know! It's formerly the porch, now open to the kitchen. The floor is new -- I love it. I think it looks great, & it's low maintenance. Perfect.
We haven't had time to do the painting yet in these rooms. I'm thinking the colors will be pretty close to this tho, it just "feels right".
Here's my view from the inside looking out :)
Monday morning baking--I'll share if you come over!
To be continued.
all that country I grew up with - - If I came to visit you could not get rid of me/us! We so dream to some day..... wish it could be reality while our kids are young too :D you deserve it, all of you deserve it
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! What a gorgeous place to live. Can't wait to see more pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat part is looking very nice. Is the rest ready! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Maxine. It's beautiful. I love the shelves and windows and... all of it! It looks as if you could have whole conversations with the woodwork. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I can't wait to see it next week! I can't believe how well your book case fits in the "porch"!
ReplyDeletedear Gettin'Country-fied',

I am in LOVE! I could possibly be there in time for next Monday's fresh bread! ;-) Absolutely beautiful Maxine!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting settled in! It looks very country like and relaxing. Took me back to my childhood when we didn't have close neighbors.
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely! So homey! The bread adds the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteyour house looks homey already! can't wait to see the rest of it
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very nice Maxine. How you have the time to do all this is beyond me. Wish I had some of your expertise and energy. Darlene
ReplyDeleteLove your country home!!! Can't wait for the rest of the tour!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!! I'll be there in time for next monday's bread too :)
ReplyDeleteI love your cozy house! I'd most likely call that back room a keeping room..it'll keep your keys, mail, purse, jams, etc.!!
ReplyDeleteDefinition:A keeping room is a small room off the kitchen, dating back to Colonial times.
Dear Cooking Up A Home,
ReplyDeleteWOW! You are SOOOOO much furthur along on the settling in part than I am... I was just getting ready to post some pix of our new house but now I'm thinking they are going to look SO disorganized and undone... oh well, this IS where we are at at the moment. I'm so glad you are loving where you are.
That country place is one of my very favorites so I'm so glad you are making it into such a sweet, beautiful home! I guess being married in that barn means there will always be a bit of my heart tied there... and a little bigger part that thinks someday I'd love a place in the country just like that.
Love,
Home Is Where Your Heart IS

Don't you love the view? It's country! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for country living!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! You sure know how to make a house into a home.
ReplyDeleteA dream home! It looks so welcoming and friendly.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Maxine! You don't need to change a thing as far as painting and colors. I think it looks lovely just the way it is. But also understand if you have something different in mind to make it "yours". Oh... and the "keeping it real"... I think I might have to post a few of my "real" pictures and you'd feel much better. Ha.
ReplyDeleteLove it! your furniture looks great there. so does the freshly made bread!!
