JenLuckenbach's Cat house

[jenluckenbach]

I wanted to take a new set of pictures, but I was too impatient and decided to post what I already have.

Here we go..........

Our home is a city row home, the one with the blue awning

This is our living room looking IN from the front

and turning around TOWARD the front

one of the cat trees that has since been moved along the wall (in the first picture it is next to the one that is there) with 2 adjoining trees, a table and a sisal post

turning around and looking toward the living room

Will continue to the second floor........

[jenluckenbach]

First you need to go up the stairs
http://img46.photobucket.com/albums/v142/JenLuckenbach/House%20Tour/stairs.jpg

the hall looking toward the back of the house
http://img46.photobucket.com/albums/v142/JenLuckenbach/House%20Tour/94c15063.jpg

to the right of the hall is the bathroom first (forgot pictures) and the room at the back is the "cat room"
looking in

and looking out toward the hall

to the left of the stairs if the middle bedroom. These pictures were taken when I still had the mice (see aquariums)

looking out

And at the front of the house is our bedroom

it has a bay window in the front but I do not have a photo of it

onto the third floor (foster kitty land)........

[jenluckenbach]

This is the screen door that we built to separate the floor. On the other side is the stairs up

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid73/p9d7cd0cfd5e6b7b75121ca1dfff795f6/fb7164da.jpg

At the top of the stairs there are 2 rooms
To the right is the front room. The furinture is placed differently now, but it still looks the same.

To the left is the back of the house. Again, the furniture placement is slightly different.

and last but not least the back yard...........

Please note the gazing globe in this shot. This is where I buried my three lost kittens :(:(:(

I guess that is about it. (sorry, not too many kitties present)

[kimlovescats]

Not too many kitties present.... uh huh, Jen!!!! :eek: :D

OK... now for all seriousness... you're home is so cozy and warm and I love all the kitty knick-knacks you have placed about. I noticed the adorable kitties over the door frame, yep I have an eye for the tiniest detail...lol!!! You have many pretty colors throughout your home that keep it alive and happy too. Three floors... WOW, you must get your exercise!

I love your flowerbeds at the front of the house, and then the backyard is gorgeous too ... those PURPLE Irises ... I LOVE THEM!!!!

Thanks for a very warm and delightful visit!;)

Wow, I was thinking if you had a mind to, you could cage in your entire garden as a great cat run.

Very beautiful garden :D

[Kirsten]

That's beautiful, Jen! Cats everywhere! LOL I love the flowers outside and your garden! At least your kittens have a beautiful place to rest! :(

Love the pictures of all the kitties in the hall! :)

Kirsten

[bluekat]

You have a very nice and cosy home, Jen! I love the pic of the hallway!:p
I love your backyard and your front lawn:)

Thanks for the tour!

[thelmalu99]

Your house looks very warm and cozy!
I am IN LOVE with your garden area in the back! I would love to sit on the grass there with a cold glass of lemonade, with all that beautiful green around me!

Thank you for sharing!

[nibblets]

I love row houses and brownstones. They have such character!

[catcrazylady]

What a great tour Jen! What a perfect home for lots and lots of kitties! Three floors is awsome. It's what makes it perfect for you to foster isn't it?
All your rooms are bright and cheery and very welcoming. Your gardens are incredible!
Thank you so much for the visit! I enjoyed my stay and would love to come and play with all the kitties some day.http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

[trayi52]

Jen, I love your home, It is so warm and cozy. I seen some very beautiful cats.

I love that back yard! Thanks for letting me tour your beautiful home!

Willie:)

[krazyaboutkatz]

Jen, thanks for giving us a tour. Your home is beautiful.:)

[sirrahbed]

oh my!! I really enjoyed that tour alot:D Flowers and color everywhere that I just love! My favorite is that room that has bedding and floral trim to match. Everything looks coutry/victorian, if there is such a thing. It's beautiful, warm and inviting. You have a pretty garden front AND back as well - very informal and invites one to sit and enjoy. Infact, do you have any lemonade?? I think I'd like to just sit awhile:D

[catnapper]

Well, having personally visited the Luckenback house and its kitties, I can say that her home is absolutely lovely. The little furry creatures running about add to the ambiance!

Jen, I see you've re-arranged some stuff upstairs! I do believe I might have photographic proof of that bay window from taking pictures of Bailey... will be back if I've got it! :D

[catnapper]

I'm back... miss me? LOL

This is the closest thing I have to Jen's bow window... Me petting a foster kitty. At least you can see its a window!

That is just what I was going to say. Character and history...and life in the heart of the city. Such a neat way to live. I am really impressed by your organization. It shows up at every turn. And your gardens (front and back) are extremely impressive. How do you find the time to create such a tranquil setting?

I just realized many of these home tours are listed in Cat General. I hope I haven't been taking them as an uninvited guest. YIKES. Don't want to upset the kitties with the smell of DOG!

[AmberLee]

Jen, your home looks like such an oasis of Peace! (Okay, it might not feel that way to you some times...)

I was happily 'ohing and awing' through each picture till we hit the back garden. It's gorgeous. Warning: if I ever visit you, you might require force to get me out of there. Wow! It's marvelous!

Thanks for sharing with us all.

[jazzcat]

Jen, thanks for the tour of your home. It's lovely, especially with all the beautiful furry decorations.:D

I love your garden area and the blue awning too!

[jenluckenbach]

Gee thanks everyone. I love my home but I don't think of it as anything special (to other people, that is).

You are all welcome to visit in person and sit for as long as you like (D*O*G people included ;) ) :D

[Miss Meow]

Thanks for the tour :) Your home has so much character.

The globe and garden are a lovely resting place for the kittens, bless their souls.

[Fallon]

I absolutely love your front and backyard. They're both so colorful and well-kept. Your house looks perfect for having all of those cats you have too. Wonderful house!

[catlover4ever]

Jen I love your house. Who thought of the decoring of the upstairs wall to look like stones? I LOVE that look!!! I loved being able to come over for a visit. Thank you again.

[catmandu]

Thank You , for thetour and I dont know how I missed the Thread! And The Found Cats and I just knwew that you would have a Great House , as you are our HERO!Found Cats want to VISIT!

[jenluckenbach]

I did the "stone" wall (it is wallpaper) And on top of the "wall'' is a wallpaper border of ivy, to look like it is growing on the "wall'' . And then I stenciled ivy up and around each doorway and the stair case. It IS one of my better creations. :D

[Felicia's Mom]

Thanks for the tour of your beautiful home, Jen. ( I have never been in a row home).

[Lillycat]

i have always loved the rowhouse....so pennsy-like!!! your yard is sooo beautiful and i just love the cats hanging out in the hall picture!!!

[Barbara]

What a beautiful place! I remember the hallway with the stone decoration- so special. But there's so much love in any detail of the house:D

[carla and mike]

Wow
What a beautiful home and garden.The cats are gorgeous and look like they have it made.Very comfortable place you have.

[anna_66]

Ok, I must say I'm amazed to not see kitties sitting everywhere;)

And your hall, did you guys paint it like that (the stone look)? That is so cool!

Thanks so much for the tour of your lovely home, I had a great time.
