You are very observant Holly, you probably noticed that there's no "clutter," as in personal photos, knick-knacks, ornaments and so forth. The place has never looked so clinical.

The entrance hall, which leads up the staircase to ........... the galleried landing through the far door on the left which is...

The master bedroom. At the far end that open door leads to, the ensuite bathroom.

One of three additional bedrooms.

This bedroom gets used as a utility room. All those boxes on the top bunk contain hats.
Look down the very edge to the left of the photo, you can just make out a pair of shoes
protruding. That entire wall is made up of shoe containers because, you know, A lady can
never have enough shoes.

This is what the agent calls: the Master Bathroom. The bathtub is under the arch in the left hand photo.
 
HC...the lemon on the walls in the top hall.. is the same lemon I have in my livingroom with the white... I love that shade it always looks crisp and clean..

I'm going to have my stairs and landing painted before long, still trying to think of the ideal colour... I like the colour on the wall in your master suite.. it looks live a dove grey.. or is it a blue ?... can you remember ?

'tis true when the house gets ready for sale and all the clutter has been packed away, it always seems bare to us.. and echo-ey..

Thank you for your compliment Holly. What you can't see that clearly, the wall is half tiled, inherited from the previous owner. The paintwork, looking at wall behind the loo and hand basin is like a bleached cream. It goes perfectly with the tiles and it compliments the sanitary ware. I will try and find out if it has a name or code.

thnkyou HC... but I meant in your Master bedroom... :)(y)
 
You guys are so neat and organized. I take every shortcut possible. I am happy that my plants are still living if not flourishing. My photos are not quite up to House Beautiful standards. But I am still here and hope to be back to wonderful soon.

Apologies Holly, I must have got my wires crossed. It is a shade of light grey, whether it's called Dove Grey, I know not. What I can do for you is to wait until the sunshine lights up the room and get a close up shot. I will also try and find out the colour name and or, the colour code.

Beautiful house!
 
Yesterday was PT day. I have so much to do in the next few weeks to get ready for winter. The last two PT appointments were scheduled for next week. After a discussion with the physical therapist, we canceled those appointments. She reviewed everything we have done so far and wrote out an exercise plan for me. I will continue at home; it has really helped and I have been able to get back out there without terrible pain. Hooray!

Next week, I have acquaintances (my dearest friend's in-laws) stopping by for a day visit. That will be very nice but I look around at the mess outside, and some inside, that I need to address before then. Some of it will not get done. Oh well. It will be a busy week and a half.

The only people who have come here since I acquired this place two years ago are family members who grew up in this house and can see how much improved it is now, but it is still a humble abode which will never be featured in House Beautiful or Architectural Digest unless it is as a "what not to do" You Tube video. I am a little nervous about entertaining newcomers, flatlander city folks whose lifestyles and social class are so very different than mine.

I remind myself that this place is about Peace: The forest and its inhabitants, how it survives brutal winters and still blooms beauty, the sound of the water in the creek seeking its own level downhill from here, hurry hurry hurry in the summer to get to the farmlands below and in winter how it rests with just a trickle under the snow and ice, waiting for the hibernating flora which will need it next spring. The scent of the old tall pines, which act as Nature's Sentinels with their quiet fortitude. This is the ultimate cycle of life. The house is the intruder.

I will do my best to make it appear as if I am in control here. I know that is not true. As Nature gets stronger, we humans get weaker. She will always win in the end. In the meantime, She allows us to exist here, as long as we are respectful and realize we are just guests, here for a visit. I think what makes me a little anxious about this visit is will they realize this? And what will be their reaction? This may be a difficult lesson for some people to learn.

Peace On Earth.
