Yeah, so, it's been a while...





































It was very kindly brought to my attention that I haven't blogged in, oh, we'll say... forever! Here I am again. Somehow I quickly fell victim to NOT being on vacation, and then my ability to sit at the 'ole computer diminished. I have had a lot happen since my last blog, but more importantly...... I bought my house this spring, and for months I have been promising pics, so, this blog will provide those all so long ago promised snapshots of my TINY house!

Here we go...
This is my spare bedroom. This room was all decked out in ladybugs until just recently. I changed it to a bit more of a "non-pedophilic" state, as I was told by the adoption counselor that "Looking too eager may not sit well during your home visit Miss Dailey." Although we all know the ladybugs have zero to due with my urge for children, I just felt it easier to redecorate! Notice that my first born sweetly poses on the bed for your viewing pleasure! I love that cat so much!!! As you can see I only moved my array of many "too eager" accessories to the hutch of my computer desk. OKAY, so seriously... who in their right mind puts the fuse box in the middle of a flippin bedroom wall???? Ughhhh......
This is my master bathroom. I wanted to do something there that was kind of not me... does that make any sense? I wanted to do something I liked, but wouldn't typically have. The walls are slate grey. (which would be easier to tell if I had even the slightest clue how to correctly use my freaking camera?) The accents are red and black, and all the plate covers and towel holders are chrome. I absolutely love it!!! The whole idea came from the pic's (shown above) that I saw in the Home Interior catalog this summer. I thought they were way over priced ($40 for two 8x10 pics... for a bathroom, uhmmm, NO!) I mentioned that I liked them to my friend Pam, and low and behold a few weeks later, I was the happy recipient of these pics as a "thank you" present! Yay me, and thank you Pam!




Obviuosly, this is my living room. I am most proud of it because it is the ONLY area of my house that I can say is complete(besides master bath, which noone but me ever sees?). I am aware that one of the pics I posted twice, but if you knew how dang hard it was for me to even get pics here, then you would understand why I am not trying to figure out how to remove one! The wall that my sofa is on, as well as the entry alcove are a different color than the other three walls. (you can really tell this in pic three) Cheesy, I know, but I had to shut my blinds so everyone could enjoy! I swore for years, 'When I have my own house I so will not have cheapy plastic mini blinds! Ughhh, I hate those things!" Praise God, Lynnie has wood, 2' slat, beautiful, non cheap blinds! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!



Yep, that's my rarely ever used kitchen. I don't really like kitchens, but my house came with one, go figure? My favorite thing about my kitchen, the oak table. I got the table and all four chairs for $175ish! That is a steal! It's good to work at a furniture store!!! Also, my table serves me well by holding up doilies, candles, and the occasional Longaberger basket. One day I will cook.....
I took that last kitchen pic to put into persective just how small my house is. I am on the "other side" of the kitchen... notice how you can still see ALL of the living room! Awww, there's Cali cat again too! She's a sneaky one I tell ya!
Well, sorry to say that's all ya get for now. I am tired, and this whole technology thing really takes me forever! That's half of my humble home, and hopefully within the next six months I can post the other half. I really love my house, and just wish I had more time to do things to it. It is a very cozy place and it always smells good, kinda like somethings baking, and always pumpkiney or appley. I am old at heart and have a lot of flowers and doilies...... People laugh if you will, but everyone says their is just someting about my house that feels like a home, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
