Here are a bunch of house photos, just for you….

Ok, so since I’ve been away for awhile now, I thought it was only fair to share a bunch of pictures for you! 🙂 These pictures are totally random and not at all in sequence, but thats ok, right?
So as you enter through the front door, you see a split staircase. 
The foyer area is very roomy and spacious.
 The living room and dining room are on one side and the office and hall bathroom are on another.
 This table is used to throw are keys on after running kids back and fourth all day, ha!
I found this candle holder at Pier 1 Imports. The candle is peach and smells wonderful.
This is the living room. Traditionally, the living room shouldn’t have a TV, but this works for our family, or this room would barley get used, ha!
 Another look into the foyer.
 Here is a look into the living room from the dining room.
I love the arches in this house that are trimmed out.
The large arched windows bring lots of light into the space which I love.
Here is the front office.
Office shelves decorated.
This is a window in the dining room.
 I’m still into the Tuscan style decor, but slowly incorporating lighter and brighter items.
 A look into the dining room.
 A closer look…
 See all the arches in the house, I love that architectural detail.
 The trimmed arches follow the window arches.
 I added these faux apples and greenery to this table.
This is the kitchen area. 
 I love the big island area. Plenty of room for the kids and everyone to sprawl out.
 I found the hanging candle chandelier at Ross and added greenery to it. 
 Here is a pano/photo of the kitchen.
 Can you see that sign to the left of the picture? It says….Our Happy Place. I love that sign, I found it at Pier 1 last week.
 Another shot.
Lastly, this vignette is in my family room niche, very Tuscan in style.
Well, thanks for stopping by. Now you got to see a portion of the downstairs area. Hopefully, next time I can post the family room, other dining area, and laundry room/mud room.

P.S. Sorry for the dull lighting, it’s a rainy day today.

We found a house on 10 Acres, yippie!

Hi everyone! Well, we are officially under contract, and due to close June 15th! We can’t wait to be in Virginia…home, sweet home!
So this is the house we fell in love with.
This is our first resale home we’ve ever bought. We usually buy new to ensure things are under warranty and turn key, so this is new for us. 
 It’s an all brick house, 3 levels, completely finished. 
 The house is surrounded by plenty of trees on rolling hills.
 It has a maintenance free deck. 
The grounds are beautiful. 
It even has a climate controlled wine cellar, and I barely drink, y’all! 
Come on in…
I wonder if the wine comes with the house, lol! Probably not! 
It was 56 degrees when we walked in.
This house has lots of heavy trim work, which we love and have always wanted.
Check out the huge Palladian windows in the living room.
The staircase splits the master bedroom from the rest of the rooms.
Here is the mudroom. I don’t even know what to do with this space, but I’m sure once I’m in, the ideas will start coming.
Here is the staircase.
The family room is a step down and the whole main level is all hardwood flooring.
Here is the office.
This house needs some minor updating, which will lead to some fun projects.
So there you have it, our house to be. More pictures to come…
***Maybe I’ll call my blog…the Colonial Home! 🙂

On a sad note, I lost my father two weeks ago, today. If you all wouldn’t mind keeping my family in prayer, I would really appreciate it. We will have the funeral in 2-3 weeks, and then our move, it’s a lot to handle all at once, sniff!

Thanks for visiting! xo, Liz
