A little tour of my home

Just a little tour around my house. My house is not one bit fancy, very lived in and child proof.
No granite coutertops or stainless steel appliances. My kitchen hasn't been remolded for several years now and I still like it the way it is. So here we go........the above picture is from last fall. The cabinet in the back was my grandmothers. I have thought about painting it.

My living room and dining room is combined.
Actually the whole upstiairs is very open.

Piper and the kitchen cabinets. I didn't want the mess of painting the cabinets. I am lazy and didn't want the big mess. I changed out the handles. It was hard to find ones that were the same length as the older ones so we didn't have to redrill holes. I found these a long time ago at Restoration hardware. They still took time adding the new handles and sanding and oiling the cabinets so the original hardware marks weren't seen.

I'd like to get another sofa someday. The dogs love this one to take their naps on.

My antique wagon. You most likely have seen this before. I think it is my favorite piece in my house.

I bought this little chair at the French Hen Barn Sale for $15. I need another chair for my kitchen. Sometimes two isn't enough.

My antique ice chest.
Not liking this picture because it's the microwave you notice. I moved it there to free up counter space.

The littles eat at this table and do all their painting. I bought this table at an antique barn ages ago. It looks like it would fold up but it doesn't. I do plan on painting this one day as well.

The shelves above that table. I loved this wallpaper and still do. It has french words.

I used two tea towels for the curtains. I loved them......they didn't work mid way because I wanted to be able to see out. This way I could still put flowers in the little bottles. I had more pictures of the kitchen but can't seem to find them.

So that's a little bit of my home. Very simple but it's COZY.

Another happenings......today I forgot that it was early dismissal. My DIL called and said that someone went into my son's classroom (different school) and said I was to pick up Tanner right now. I asked my DIL what time it was because my clock said I didn't need to pick him up for 30 minutes.
As soon as I heard "early dismissal" I felt so bad. Tanner was okay but his aide not so happy. Then after he was in the car he said, 'How many more days do we have." I am going to Colorado this week-end for a week. He said, "You can't leave me and it better not be for a year." So I guess he wasn't mad at me for being late.

Then yesterday while riding in the car the girls were talking about having a babysitter. I said, "Well, I am your babysitter." Little China Girl laughed really hard and said, "You're not our babysitter you are like a Mommy to us." I did explain more like a grandma. Made me feel pretty good about what I do.

Today we had a beautiful day. I took China Girl to the park. She ran and ran and had the best time. It was O.'s 5th birthday. I told her she could choose a place for me to take them for lunch. She choose Brews......hamburger and beer restaurant in the village. So that's where we went. I expected her to say McDonald's or for pizza.

I saw a beautiful fox yesterday. So red and colorful. Not far from our house.

I am so excited about heading West. Can't wait to see those grandbabies.

Thanks for listening my friends.
