Okay here is the outside. I love my deck. We had it built last summer. It really has been like an extra room. I just sprayed it down so it looks all wet. We live off a white rock road and it gets dusty everywhere. Somehow it even gets in my car!!!

Oh Judy Mae. Your house is just wonderful and I LOVE!! the deck.
We had to screen ours in sides and bottom because we live out there!!! and we have a lot of flying creatures! And some of them are real scary looking!! Evil

But anyway your house is beautiful inside and out!!

Thank you Jacie!! We are trying to do one thing at a time to the house to make it more comfortable for us. We had the deck put in last year. Had the wood/laminate floors laid this year and next spring we want to add the breakfast bar. With 3 kids it's really hard to find the extra money to add to the house but we try! I really want to landscape more. That will be something else I work on next spring. I love looking at other people's houses. You learn so much about their personality. I hope more folks need to post some pics of their homes.

When your young and raising a family like you are that's the way to do it. A step at a time so you don't get bogged down in debt. You all are being very smart.

Looks like you don't have to worry about close neighbors and that is a good thing from my standpoint. I just need to ship you some trees.\

Birdhill you are so right!! I really need some trees. I have a little 4 footer that doesn't look to good. Just a stick now. It's a burred oak? Then I have a little silver leaf maple that is only 2 feet tall at the most. I found it just growing in my flower bed so I replanted it out in the yard. It looks good just soooo tiny. Then a friend gave me a mulberry tree that is only 8 inches tall. It is so cute but still in a pot!

We do have some neighbors on each side of us that are about an acre away. Too close for me. In front of us is 100s of acres that no one lives on. I like it that way!

I still need to put flooring in the bedrooms. I got a wild hair one day and ripped out all the carpets. We are walking on grey cement!! Very cold in winter! I think I may put down the same flooring that we have in the living and dining. I love the wood/laminate. Just have to catch it on sale again!!

I am just hung up over trees, the sun never fully hits the house here, at noon I get about 1/4 sun on the roof, more in the winter. But when there are storms, you wonder if one will come down so there are draw backs also. Right now my yard is ankle deep in leaves and pine straw but i will mulch them when most have fallen.

Anyway, Mulberry and Mable grow fast, at least here so you will have some noticable trees before long.

I am with you, we are not carpet people, we had some friends in Houston that stained thier concerete slab floor and it looked really good. Our whole house has natural pine flooring and after 11 years we still love it. Of course mama has rugs everywhere but you can take then up and clean them. We also like ceramic tile and that mostly what we have had in the past. Wood and tile are easy to clean and when you are finished, you know they are clean.

Oh Judy! I love your house! Birdhill, I am crazy for trees also. I am going to move in 4 years and will be looking for a property with trees.

Thanks Cheri!!

I hope my trees grow fast. The maple is actually cute. It only stands about 2 ft tall and branches out in two places. Look like a mini big tree.

I thought about staining the concrete in the bedrooms. It's that or find more wood/laminate flooring. It costs alot so I have to wait for a sale!

Birdhill you're lucky you can put rugs down. I have a chihuahua that never pottys on the floor unless it sees a rug!!

I finally got around to taking some pictures. Did anyone say trees, and i love them all, fallen leaves and limbs.

The piano is 1898, upright grand, only a few made but I don't think it that valuable except to me. It not really that dark, just poor photo.

The sign over the gate was a present from the kids about 10 years ago.

The house is only about 2200 sq. ft. - mama said i could not take pic inside unless i gave it a good cleaning first, she is sewing, so that why you don't see any pictures. I called the spouse abuse hotline, they hung up.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and remember:
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
