It oozes cozy style and a warm welcome while still being bright and airy! (Have you recently moved, or is this the same home? I feel a like I should already know this.) I love your shelves beside the fridge, and they do look designer. Thanks for your thoughtful comment about our anniversary! Your words are always uplifting!<br />Blessings,<br />LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977366023909553381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-73606546769162022842012-10-09T18:25:09.271-07:002012-10-09T18:25:09.271-07:00I love your storage solutions and your style!

So we are looking to downsize now. Maybe even have something where we don't have to take care of the upkeep so as we get older it won't be an expense to hire out. We are in our 50's now and would like our time to be able to go places or relax but not be slave to our house. You have the perfect house,not to little,not to big, just right.shirlgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10993276645968200257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-25075355288712823552012-10-05T21:10:41.750-07:002012-10-05T21:10:41.750-07:00Your home looks inviting and clutter-free...our li...Your home looks inviting and clutter-free...our living room is also our family room and our girl's play room when she has play dates...I think I need to get better about throwing away stuff...wishing you a blessed weekend, Elizabeth :)Dolly @Soulstopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943244655225413814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-38333328950218936902012-10-05T18:42:01.639-07:002012-10-05T18:42:01.639-07:00LOVE your home, it is warm comfortable and cute. ...LOVE your home, it is warm comfortable and cute.

To tell you t...It IS such a sweet home, Elizabeth! To tell you the truth, I've never had the opportunity to live in a large house. (Would love to....but never have.) Even this old farmhouse feels small inside to me. All of the rooms are small which is normal in old farmhouses, and the house itself (altho it looks large from outside) fits in a 32x32 footprint. So I know how important it is to have places to tuck things away and constantly declutter. You've done a fabulous job in creating a warm, cozy, and clutter free home, sweetie! :)<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-89580158057097076192012-10-05T16:54:19.099-07:002012-10-05T16:54:19.099-07:00Such a sweet house.

One of the traps of having a small house is that so much of the furniture in showrooms these days is huge and can so often swamp a room, you have well proportioned furniture in your house and it looks great.Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-20374857000344485492012-10-04T17:45:53.154-07:002012-10-04T17:45:53.154-07:00What a sweet, heartfelt and well written post, not...What a sweet, heartfelt and well written post, not to mention a sweet hubby to bring you that first cup of coffee in bed each morning.

We have a tiny dining room and small kitchen. That's fine. When your house is smaller, you save a lot of money because you don't have room for more things.<br />And I do not like clutter!<br />Your solutions are wise and beautiful!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
