Our home like so many others is a place of comfort and relaxation. It is our safe haven for our boys, place where we can hang out, have fun and be ourselves. What makes it so comfortable is that, though it is an average size house for the average American family, every detail of it is our design. After our house flooded last year we were able to design the whole thing and get a major reno at the cost of the insurance company! Every floor board, baseboard, tile and cabinet was designed by myself and my husband and that makes it amazing to come home to. Yes, there are things we are always changing, furniture placement, paint colors and on and on, however  |

I LURV peacock feathers, they are blessings! So nice how it all opens up, but yet the kitchen is still completely closed off to any thing else. Not a fan of open concept.  And again with the peacock feathers, they are just so fun!  THE FORMAL DINING! Small, cozy and welcoming!  I found the fabric at Wal Mart for $10 a yard, a bit of a splurge but it really makes the room. (My camera sucks)  for us to do his work in. I love to be reminded of that everytime I walk in. And when you come in the front door this is one of the first room you see. The table is farm style from real oak and has lots of cool details.  setting makes the room feel, but it does! I love the giant pinecones, some of them are 14" tall. I love bringing outdoors in and seeing nature all around me.  The dark woods and natural fibers we have in our home and me feel like I'm wrapped up in a warm cozy blanket all the time. (I hate the recliner...again win some, loose some....)  I dont really love the rug either, but oh well. It works for now. And I just havent found one I do love yet for a price I love.  And this is where I spend my evenings. I swear if you dont have leather, get it! It is the best investment we ever made!  I think the aliens are invading! We have amazing wood blinds but you can see them in ANY picture. Oh well they are there. The cedar mantle is one of my favorite things about this room it just makes it look so...masculine??? And the old wood crate. LURVE that too! Its super old and is just so cool unpainted and in its original state. And again big giant pinecones on my mantle.  A view from atop the stairs. When people see our room online they always ask, "why not move the furniture in close, it looks crammed in a corner." Not so. Its just a big akward square it is the hardest thing about the space but it works. Eventually some kind of chairs will sit along side the fireplace just havent found those either.....  I hope you enjoyed and if you have any question please contact me, I love to share! -Jen |
