Open House

Hooked on Houses is hosting an Open House and you're invited.

The last two homes we've owned were Cape Cods. I love Capes. They're traditional and charming. We did a lot of work to our last house. You can take a look at the before and after pictures here.

Our new home's considered "contemporary". I love the space. It fits the way our family lives. I don't have avocado paint to deal with in this house, but I'm looking forward to tweaking it and making it a little more traditional. It's a great house, and I'm so happy with it.

This is our foyer. The previous owners really liked blonde, white-washed wood. Me, not so much.

Another picture of the foyer. See the door to the left?
That's my very first laundry room above ground.


From the foyer, this hallway leads to the powder room, coat closet and garage.

This is the view of our dining room from the foyer. I love these windows. Our lot is very wooded, so the view is beautiful from every window. Lots of wallpaper . . . and border.

This is the view of our living room from the foyer. Love these windows, too.

Here's our family room. I'm sitting in it right now typing this post. It's great space!

These doors in our family room lead to a roomy screened porch.


This is the view of the breakfast area and kitchen from our family room. I don't know how I feel about this railing. I understand the function of it, but not so sure about the form. Anyone out there ever taken one of these down?

I'm sure we'll make changes in the kitchen eventually, but I'd like to live in it for awhile first.
