The Great Room

We moved to our new home in February. Things got busy with life and I haven't taken the time to share better pictures of our home. I thought I would start out with sharing our great room. This is the room of our house where most of our time is spent together as a family. It's one big room hence the name for "Great Room". Our living space, our dining room and kitchen all in one space.

 And we love it!!!!

We bought a couple new pieces for our living room before we moved in...It's bright and cheery. I love all the windows in this room...All together we have 8 windows. 

Missy wanted to sneak in a few shots!!!

 She sends a big hello your way!!!

We also swapped out our mix match wooden chairs for some metal industrial chairs. I will be painting the dining table white and distressing it soon. Just been a bit busy to get it done...But for sure will do it this Summer while it's warm out.

 love my roomy kitchen and huge island...Lot' of room to move around in and surfaces to work on. I am also enjoying my walk in pantry. Every house needs a walk in pantry!

Our home is a nice mix of old and new with cheery colors. I will share more pictures of the rest of our home soon! Thanks for joining me in my great room!

Summer Party At The Taddie Ranch

Freckles went to her besties house for a big party to celebrate the end of the school year and ring in Summer. We took the nice little drive up to their ranch to drop her off. The drive was lovely with it's windy roads, rolling hills and beautiful trees. 

We even got to see a couple deer in a field on the way in.

We got there a bit early before everyone arrived...

And had a little tour of the barn and their home.

(just a few of the girls before the party)

The barn was all ready for some hang out/party time...And also where a group of the boys will be sleeping. While the girls that are sleeping over will be in the house.

My friend gave us a little tour of some of the house. I was in love!!! The house was built in the 30's...with a lot of the original parts and pieces still in tact throughout the home. So much charm.

I fell in love, head over heels with the little brick home, 

which was built by a family (Henry W. Coe's son) historically well known to our town. What a treat to see a little piece of history from our area.

After the tour we kissed our baby girl goodnight...

What a great party it will be!!!
