Holiday House Walk 2012

Welcome to stop 17 on the house tour.

I hope you are enjoying the tour so far.  Such talent.  Such inspiration.

If you’re visiting after Tracey Leber’s beautiful home, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the tour.

Welcome to our farmhouse.

It’s not perfect, but it’s cozy and warm and we love it.

I decorate for the holidays just like I decorate any other time of year…

with treasures that our family has loved for years.

I will start with the front porch and then you can proceed through just like you would if you were stopping over for some holiday cheer.

Enjoy!!

Come on in.

The kitchen is my favorite room in the house now.  We remodeled in March and I have been in heaven ever since!!

It’s the sink….I’m in love!!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I loved having you!!

Enjoy the rest of your tour.

Your next stop is Morning T but you will have to wait for tomorrow morning.

Thanks to Jen for including me in this house walk.

Check back on Saturday for some images that didn’t make the final cut!!

Have a wonderful day!
