I have been working on this updated Home Tour on and off for a few months.
Long periods of time would pass between work sessions where I would completely forget about it.
I gave myself until the end of the summer to wrap it up.
True to form I waited until the very last minute…but it’s finished.
Welcome to my home…

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 3:03 pmI know I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. You have a lovely home, Ann. It’s very bright, light, fresh and clean, and yet still warm and homey, lived in and not sterile. It must feel great to wake up to something this beautiful each day :-)

You have a new fan :) I must say I am always glad to see another mom of older kids (mine are 26 and 27) with a blog–I enjoy reading so many beautiful blogs but we have a different focus now, don’t we?! I am going to contact you about a red tickiing table runner but today is the first day of school and I am a teacher so I guess I’d better get moving!

I really love how you have ‘lightened’ up the colors – that is what I want to do in my house…Do you mind me asking what is the color in your living room – on the walls ? There are so many whites to choose from, and I think your color is perfect – thanks so much !!

debra says
Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 5:41 pmI was GOING to just STAY on that front porch it was so darn nice…:)
Everything is quite lovely ..I am in love with the kitchen! I love white kitchens but the kicker with yours ( in my book ) is that cubboard / cabinet on the other side in a different color.
The whole house is lovely and the gardens as well.
It was alot of fun to view your porch seasonally!
Ok..I am going back out there ….do you have any lemonade as I might stay awhile ? :)

BTW – Do the glass canisters on your kitchen counter seal tight? I love the look of glass canisters, but I really want to keep things fresh and bug-free.
Stacey says
Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 12:11 pmStunning! I love the colors and the feeling in your home. Everything is so neat and pretty. I would be very comfortable there.
I have a question about the planters on your porch….did you order those from that website that pops up on all the blogs? I noticed that you don’t have any real plants in them, is there room to plant something large?
Andrea says
Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 11:52 amSo beautiful…..when can I move in?

Dawn says
Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 11:28 amLove everything about your place. I really liked seeing all the pic in one place, this is the first time I realized there was a front and back porch area. I understood the deck portion, but now it all comes together for me. Great photos I love the shot of the eggs and strawberries in the kitchen and this Summers front porch. You have surely figured your new camera out.

Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 10:34 amHi Ann-Love the accessories. Noticed the flowers on the dining room table and then I saw the ceramic egg carton. Do you like that? I really want one .. just curious if you use it or is it a pain to switch out the eggs?
xo, laura

Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 9:59 amGood morning Ann, Your home, porch, deck and garden is absolutely lovely. I do miss your red wallpaper though. ;o) I just have a “thing” about red.
The wreaths that you’ve designed are beautiful and very festive..
Your fur baby is very photogenic and has a fantastic yard to roam and play in.
Thank you for sharing these pictures with us.
Have a wonderful day !
Charlotte
