Home....

In my post here, Why the Lavender Tub?,  I shared with you that my Edward gave me a 1929 house for our 9th anniversary.  It is such a beautiful house; I still feel honored to live here.  Would you like to see some of her charm.....












Some of the rooms have changed in their purpose and decor, but this old house stays lovely regardless of what she is wearing.  I can take a little credit for attire, but her beauty is all her own.

Thanks for stopping by.......I appreciate it with all my heart. 

 Afterall,

  6. Thanks so much for your lovely words! I honestly do feel very honored to live here and don't feel like we "own" this house, but instead have the pleasure of living here for awhile. I'm glad you enjoy my lavender bathroom, too. I certainly do.

  9. Your home is lovely! And, admittedly, I've never seen a lavender bathtub ... until now! I love it! The paint color in your breakfast area is so regal, as is your dining room! *Becca* (newest follower)

  10. It's funny what a conversation piece my tub is in person and now on my blog. In fact, when people in town figure out where I live their response is always, "Oh, you live in the house with the big purple tub in the middle of the floor!"

    Also, Becca, (blush, blush) the breakfast and dining rooms are not those regal colors anymore. I promise I will post more current pics soon. I was trying to show the pretty details of the house, and the pics I chose did that. My bad!
