A LITTLE HOUSE TOUR....BATHROOMS AND ALL......................................






Since we are in the process of putting our house on the market to sell, some of you have asked me to see some shots around here.  I've taken a few shots with a few little things we have changed this summer....it is so hot outside that all you can do is stay inside and do little projects there.  The round mirror above the little table used to be antique gold and hang in our powder room.  I loved its shape and wanted to change it so I painted it a wonderful shade of dark, dark blue...which actually looks purple in the pic.  The cloth on the table is one of my Kantha cloths from India.  I actually have started becoming a collector of these things.  I can't believe it, as I have almost NEVER been a collector of any one thing...but I have fallen in love with all the color.  They are actually made from old Sari's and hand stitched in the little villages in India.




This is a shot of the other side of the living room.  The little square beaded pieces on the pillows are some little things I picked up at one of my favorite stores while we were traveling.


Looking down the hall with a little funky seating area.  The lantern is actually all metal but I wanted to soften the light so I draped black lace over it.  And of course one of my Buddhas....often use them as a place to put pretty hats.



My room where I spend time working on art stuff and watching TV with the dogs.  Once again, Kanthas covering the sofa.  My dogs shed and of course the like to burrow and make little mounds with all the quilts....so this does save the sofa from damage.



The other side of my room.  At the present all my art supplies are stored in the far corner out of sight.  I've tried to tidy up a bit but I know I will have to do more when the house is staged finally to sell.



Our master bath.  We have not remodeled in here....had always planned to...but now it is going to stay the way it is.  The only thing we have done in here is spiff up the cabinets with some paint.  



Guest bathroom....nothing done here as well other than paint.  You know, I always wanted to change these out while we lived here.  But now, I don't know...they are actually pretty funky and kind of go with our feel.  We have been looking at homes and all the bathrooms look the same.....brown, brown and more brown.  LOL LOL

I've shown pics of my remodeled kitchen in another post...so won't include that here.  We have really loved living in this house and will surely miss it...but I know once this one sells and we find another one...we will be able to give it our touch and it too will become HOME.

Hope you enjoyed this little tour today and didn't find it too boring.  When we moved here 12 years ago, we did not have nearly so much color, but over the years Brad and I have felt we needed more and more so it has turned out this way.

  8. I LOVE your bathroom! The pictures give it a nice "feel" if that makes sense. Lovely home!

  9. I love all the colors in your home. You are right; all the new houses look alike are are boring and show a lot of shade of brown. There is no fun or happiness in brown.

  10. Your home is so lovely and creative. I hope whoever buys it will want to keep it with all its charm.

  11. Yaay! I've been waiting for this moment...and (of course) it did not disappoint! Your home is beautiful! Rather, your eye for decor and design is beautiful! And I'm sure your new space will be as well.

  12. I love the color you've brought to your beautiful home and am sure that you will do the same with a new home that will no longer be brown, brown, brown! Don't be surprised if the realtor wants your house a bit less colorful for showing.

    When we were getting ready to sell our home of 29 years three and a half years ago, the realtor asked that we remove EVERYTHING -- furniture, belongings, pictures, etc. -- before it went on the market. We were horrified. But it sold in two weeks for a good price. And our furniture and belongings look great in our new home. I hope you have the same good luck -- though I hope not the hassle we had! So much of your decor is just too good to take out!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
