Happy Mom: Bloggy Tour of Homes!!!

Bloggy Tour of Homes!!!

Welcome! Allow me to introduce you to our

Happy Home...

***UPDATED*** I've added pictures of the parts of the home that ARE decorated. Being the obedient girl I only posted initially on the recommendations from BooMama (those who know me and are snickering about the whole obedient thing...stop) but after a couple of comments from visitors I'll include some rooms that are actually decorated.
This is our front door. Yup. There she is ya'll!

Here is our entry, in all of its silvery-blue glory.

This is one of my favorite features of our home. I don't read a whole lot, but I sure like these shelves...and the new chandelier that my stud of a husband installed!

Here is our guest bath we just remodeled. We haven't decorated it yet, but I love love the floor in there.

Now, I had considered tidying up the desk space...but I'm going for the "lived in" look here.

Now, our kitchen. Notice the product placement? I'm waiting for my check from "Diet Coke" to arrive.

This is our living room. You'd think it would have been one of the first rooms to remodel after moving in. Nope...still there. With our original furniture from when we were married, realtor white walls, and absolutley nothing on the walls. I never claimed to be a domestic goddess.

This is the kids bathroom, I like the concept and the pictures, but I'm looking forward to the actual remodel where we'll put in new floors and fixtures. Get the whole theme thing...The Frog Prince. Happy Girl and I did the pictures together.

And, here...my favorite spot. I love to sit on our back deck or just look out my back windows. We have several trees in the back and I just love the peaceful feeling out there. Since we got our dog, however, we don't spend as much time out there...the land mines placed by the dog are a huge drawback. But I do like to sit on my deck furniture and enjoy the peace there.

There you have it. I probably should have posted on some of the rooms that have been remodeled...the kids rooms, our entry and the guest bathroom. Hmm? Maybe I'll be back to update with those.

A great BIG Thank You goes out to BooMama for hosting all of this fun. We love you!!!

Now - go check out some more homes!

I love it! The trees in the backyard are awesome.

By Sarah, at 1:06 AM

That is a great view of your back yard Bek! And I always love coming to your home. It's very relaxing. (I am suprised you didn't show off that new guest bath you all put together with blood sweat and tears though. I can attest it's mighty pretty.)

By Addie, at 1:14 AM

beautiful!

Front door is lovely, the color and etched glass are great.

By Val, at 1:36 AM

Beautiful cabinets in the kitchen. Clever product placement. ;-)

By PastormacsAnn, at 1:36 AM

For goodness sakes, please show them the bathroom! It's the best looking room in the house! Although we have yet to figure out what we are going to put on the walls. :)

By Anonymous, at 1:38 AM

Thanks for having us! Show us the bathroom!!!

By Michelle- This One's for the Girls, at 2:18 AM

Lovely house. I took my desk photo from an angle so that all the 'stuff' was hidden, lol. Your back garden looks wonderful. Blessings.

Most times you can hardly see my desktop-lol. Lovely home and thank you for the peek :)

By HORIZON, at 5:52 AM

Yes, a fellow brave poster of a lived-in desk. Even tidied up, mine isn't really tidy. I love your backyard.

By Carole Burant, at 8:21 AM

My office also is always very "lived in" even picked up. Ok well the whole house is that way. Thanks for the tour

By Stephanie Appleton, at 8:30 AM

hey, I wouldn't have any wall decorations either if it weren't for my wedding presents hanging on the wall in my living room pic. besides, with your lovely backyard to view, who needs decorations inside? :)

By the lizness, at 9:09 AM

Nice home. I really like the fireplace and the back yard. :)

By Overwhelmed!, at 9:27 AM

Wow! Your backyard is lovely. Nice house too. BTW- I left my desk "as is" too.

By Nancy Murphree Davis, at 9:53 AM

What a great yard. No wonder you love it. And your desk looks like you actually work there. Nothing wrong with that! Thanks for the peek. I'd love to see that bathroom and the kids' rooms too.

By Barb, at 10:08 AM

Alright, I've added a few extra picks...it does include the bathroom.

By Rebekah, at 10:17 AM

You have lovely home, the colors your choosing are great. Thanks so much for the tour.

I came back again to see the update - The bathrooms and entryway are gorgeous! I LOVE the pictures in the kids' bath. So cute!

By Sarah, at 10:36 AM

Now that is a kitchen! (Mine is tiny!) I love those bookshelves too.

By Anonymous, at 10:42 AM

You don't like the silvery blue glory? I do. I love colors like that. And the kids' bathroom is adorable.

By Barb, at 10:45 AM

Very lovely home ya'll have. Thanks for sharing with us :-).
Have A Great Weekend!!!

By Angela, at 10:52 AM

It was nice to meet you and tour your lovely home. I love the little girls bathroom and pictures. And you do have a great backyard!

By Dianne, at 11:04 AM

I love your idea for the Frog Prince bathroom.

By Jennwith4, at 11:07 AM

Barb - I DO love the silvery-blue. It's a bit much for hubby but I love it.

By Rebekah, at 11:23 AM

What a beautiful home! I absolutely loved the idea of doing your own art for the bathroom, you did such a wonderful job. I'll have to remember it.

Just stopped by on the HOME tour! Loved your backyard. Really looks like a great play area! ~ jb///

hBeautiful home you have there...my favorite were the crayon artwork pictures!!
:-D

By TJ, at 2:22 PM

Love the kids artwork on the bathroom walls. Too cute. Good job on the remodel too!

By Robin, at 3:04 PM

I love your home! Don't worry about being in a big hurry to decorate, there is something very restful about being in a clean, plain spot :) I love the book cases, and the bathroom is just fantastic!

By Anonymous, at 3:16 PM

Rebekah, I love the bookshelves--what a great idea for a landing area at the top of the stairs. If I had an upstairs, that's what I'd do! And your backyard is to die for--heavenly! I'm coveting that huge tree this very minute:) Thanks for opening your home to all of us!!

By Sarah, at 4:32 PM

Loved it :) My favorite has got to be the kids bathroom, what a beautiful color you picked for it :)

By Sandra, at 4:47 PM

Pretty house!!
I love your Frog Prince pictures.

Blessings! ~Beckie

I think my favorite thing is that you and your daughter created the masterpieces in the bathroom. What a fantastic idea and wonderful way to not only include her in the decorating of her space, but to honor her talents. Way to go. Thanks for such a beautiful tour on my first visit. I do love your web design!

By Kari, at 5:55 PM

I love the bathroom with the adorable masterpeices!! That is such a great idea!
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings.

By Joy @ SAH Missionary, at 6:12 PM

1. LOVING the masterpieces in the bathroom.

2. Your back yard is to die for. Our is so small you'd blink and miss it.

3. The rug you have in your foyer? I havec the big one up in my playroom! Great minds...

By Chilihead2, at 7:18 PM

What a beauitful home! Love the bathroom and the pictures. My daughter-in-law did her daughter's bathroom in ducks (and their everywhere) but she had framed a duck picture that she had colored and hung it in the bathroom, and I thought that was such a cute idea. Yours looks adorable too!

By Cheryl, at 8:55 PM

I love the color of the bathroom... what a cool idea! Thanks for sharing!

By GiBee, at 9:14 PM

I am going to try to participate tomorrow. Trying to be the last and all! Thanks for checking on me!

By Robin, at 9:15 PM

Neat!

By Stephanie, at 9:40 PM

The kids' bathroom is adorable! Love the colors. And that bookcase at the top of the stairs. How handy is that!

By Carol, at 9:51 PM

I love the bathroom, those pictures and colors are darling!

By Big Mama, at 10:09 PM

Thanks for the tour. Nice house. I love the girls bathroom!

By Free In Christ, at 11:25 PM

What a lovely home. I love your kitchen! Thanks for the tour. :)

Thank you for the tour. You'll be the envy of a lot of people now with such a huge backyard. Glad you enjoy it despite the dog.

By Alice, at 2:01 AM

I ADORE the bookshelf!! I am drooling! keep up the good work on the backyard! I spent more time on my yard than I ever have on the house (must be the gardener in me)

By Heather, at 7:34 AM

So glad you broke down and showed pictures of the bathroom. It's awesome! I love the colors.

Boy am I getting the decorating bug.

By Michelle- This One's for the Girls, at 8:49 AM

Lovely bathroom color and a big backyard...nice!

By Zephra, at 10:04 AM

Your back yard is gorgeous...too bad about the
landmines ; )

Your house looks lovely...a lot of my walls are blank too...just don't have the time and the money (of course, being an artist, I don't have an excuse!)

By sarahgrace, at 12:07 PM

I really like it! The blue is a lovely hue. I'm redoing my girls' room right now, and that green in your kids' bath is just about the same color. It looks great *relieved sigh* I haven't been so sure about it until I saw it all pulled together in your house.

By Grafted Branch, at 12:30 PM

I'm touring a day late as was away. That chandelier is very similar to the one we just got...only my stud of a husband had to hire an electrician to hang it. Lovely home. I really like the darkwood in the kitchen cabinets. Thanks for letting us visit.

By rena, at 3:08 PM

Thank you for the tour! I ADORE your kids bathroom. The colors are great and the home-made art is beyond wonderful.

Thanks for sharing!

By Geekwif, at 5:19 PM

1) Those bathroom pics are wonderful.

2) Totally related to enjoying sitting in the backyard except for the landmines from recently acquired dogs... (yeah, us too!)

I love the style hallway/entryway...

By Sarah, at 9:55 PM

Beautiful home!! I just painted my kitchen/dining room a similar blue colour.
Thanks for sharing.

By Jenny, at 10:44 PM

Beautiful home!
Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

By sonia a. mascaro, at 11:31 PM

I love the color choice for your bath, adorable. Your home is lovely.
Gotta run, many blogs to see and so little time. *Ü*

By Tori Leslie, at 12:12 AM

Cute bathroom, but I think my favorite is your kitchen!

By Theresa, at 12:26 AM

Neat bathroom! :)

BTW this is my first time to your blog! Feel free to stop by and say hello on mine as well!

Nice house! Love that back yard! I'm really enjoying this house tour...makes me green with envy. ;o)

By thewriterslife, at 8:53 PM

The kids bathroom is great and I love your fireplace.

By Anonymous, at 7:16 AM

Enjoyed the tour of your house, and I'm about to go home and paint all my walls realtor white as you called them. Sounds soothing. I've heard dog deposits called a lot of things, but land mines - thats a new one, funny one.
