The Homestead

>















I thought I would post some pictures of our house b/c I know it's changed a little bit since some of you have seen it. No drastic changes but little things here and there, maybe only things I myself would notice. We have a humble home, but we have enjoyed it and it is thoroughly cozy. It has been perfect for our needs. However, two dogs (if Mr. Playtime stays) and a baby will make it seem a little smaller than it feels now. As you all know, I love the Fall and so I decorated the house with those colors. My sister loves bright colors, but I love the cozy warm tones. It's funny, when we look at pictures of rooms in books or magazines, the differences in our tastes and preferences really become apparent!! We are opposites in that way. Except we do both love red, so we do have that in common. The warm colors are definitely what I'm drawn to. I just recently painted our from door red. It was white before. I've wanted a red door for a long time and finally got the nerve up to do it. It was pretty challenging but worth the effort in the end. Brian and I pressure washed the porch and rails the other night and unfortunately some of the water hit the front door and chipped off a couple of tiny spots. Bummer!! I think it can be touched up though. But I think the red door does give the house a little curb appeal since we don't have any flowers planted in the yard right now. The guest room will eventually become the baby's room. I will definitely put some pictures up of that when we get started and when we finish. But for now, enjoy the little tour of the homestead.
