Show Us Your House or A Little Corner in Your Home!

Beautiful Holly. Love the vegetation.
Hey! Need a housekeeper? I'm expensive, take lots of breaks, but I'm loyal and don't eat much. (wait...actually I do...) :grin:
 

Yeaaaah why not., you could eat drink, swim, flick a duster every other day...get paid a lot...flick another duster another day.. eat loads.., lie out by the pool or on the solarium...flick another duster ..... pack yer bags..c'mon over... :sunglass:
 
The windows in your house are so beautiful, Annie. How old is the house? Your husband did a wonderful job on your kitchen restoration.
Holly, are the pictures of your kitchen and dressing room in your house in Spain or UK? Beautiful house and landscaping.
Ina, amazing that your house is still standing.... I love it. When was the last time you had to chink the logs? Has it always been in your family?
Ken, your farm is beautiful, as is your wife.
SB is that a painted fern on top of your armoire? It is wonderful. As is your guard cat. The snow you can keep.
My picture is not very clear...and everything looks so small. I built the bookcase/entertainment wall, all by myself, about 5 years ago. Is 8 foot tall and 9 foot wide. Could not find bamboo molding so molded my own. Have doors for the middle areas...never put them up though. The fireplace rocks I made from coquina, embedded with uncrushed sea shells. Cannot see the painting well..is one of my monochromatic water colors.

There that's better...from last year. Since then there is a purple bench that holds three pots and a big brass wind catcher. Oh and a lilac clipping that has rooted deep enough it should survive the winter. Oh and to the side behind the branches is a Buddha.

Ken, nice flooring.

Never thought much about floors. Then a couple yrs ago bathroom and kitchen flooring was replaced. That, combined with new kitchen countertops made a huge difference!

The kitchen will probably be next for a redo..If and when we want to sell, we need to update the counter tops and cabinets and floor..Too much $$$ for right now!!! crybaby.gif
 
Nona thank you for the compliment...the picture of the corner of my dressing room..and my kitchen are both in this house here.

The garden with the shed, is this house...and the white house with the landscaping is mi Casa in Spain.. :D


Ina I love your house, it's just sooo Rustic and pretty...but may I ask a question, with all that wood which btw is beautiful..do you have a lot of problems with insects..wood lice, termites etc? I'd be scared to have a wooden house in case that happened.

Nona...wow your room must be HUGE to make a 9x8 feet bookcase look small....good for you tho' building that all by yourself !!:D

The other day we were out shopping and I noticed some padded floor mats, I told her they would be nice for her "work station" (in front of the sink)!!! The doctor told me the swelling will go down in about a week!!

Oops! Agree about the countertops but I love the cupboards.

Nona, our house is 1927. And hubby is multi-talented! He also does the garden.

That is when there were craftsman vs carpenters....that took great pride in the details. Especially the wonderful millwork. I do not know what is more spectacular...the windows, your view or the grounds. You are fortunate to have such a talented man, Annie ;)

Grateful he is multi-talented. Saves us a bundle. Although putting in new windows was beyond his scope. 19 new windows back in 2010. Except for one door all are the originals, and still has some of the original cornices, etc. I would love to have seen this house when it was new - fireplaces in every room.
 
Hubby says its the Golden Ratio. On our old doors it's about design and more pleasing to the eye. Knobs are about 2/3 of the way up while US doors are half.

I have some pics of the house in this thread already, but here's one of a corner of the living room after we redecorated/remodeled:

A photo of our house that I edited to look like a pencil drawing - I replaced the house name with Home:

Wow, nice home with a million dollar view.

I have a contract on a patio home I plan to move into in early December. Been living in my mom's old house, but the neighborhood has really gone in the crapper over the last several years. Just not a safe area. Planned to move at some point anyway, so decided to bite the bullet and make the move now. This home is on a golf course(my club) with a nice view. Will post more pictures later after I'm settled.
