trayi52's and Grovers Home...

[trayi52]

Welcome to my home, as you know I live sort of down in the boonies. Lots of trees, nothing fancy.

Here is the front of my home, lots of trees,:

--
Bird nest at the front door, these little guys come every year, and raise their young here. Mario tore down their nest this year, and they had to rebuild their nest. So they are kind of mad at Mario!

--
This is the stairs in the entrance hall when you first come in the front door, the rooms upstairs are just used for storage, so we will not go up there:

--
Look to your left and this is the hall that leads to the bedrooms and bathroom:

Lets go in the living room:
This is one corner of the living room, see my carosel horse:

--
My corner:

--
My Santas:

--
Our fireplace:

--
I would show you my husbands corner, but it is always piled up with his stuff, so lets looks at my rabbit collection, the seat they are on is something my daughters husband built for me for mothers day one year:

--
Now on to the Kitchen in the next post.

Heres my kitchen:

More of my kitchen:

My old wood cookstove:

A cabinet my husband built several years ago:

Look out the kitchen door, and you see Mario's house and his little jungle:

More in next post.

Door leading back into hall:


I'm not going to show you my daughters bedroom, it is quite a mess!

I want to repaint the bedroom, bathrooms and halls. But anyway that is all.

Willie, Your place is adorable! Very homey and cozy looking. I love the kitchen cabinets. I'd die for so many cabinets with cute scalloping on them. I have really crappy ones which someday will be gone. How did Mario reach that swallow nest? No wonder they dive bomb him naughty, naughty, monkey! I had to laugh at the frying pan/rolling pin collections...bet Jimmy's always on his best behaviour huh?

[Kirsten]

I totally agree! And I really envy you for the size of your kitchen!!! Love the old stove, that's wonderful!

Kirsten

[trayi52]

LOL, and Jimmy made a lot of those rolling pins, and the fry pans are his collection!

Oh by the way this is the road that leads out to the highway.

A home in the country with lots of trees, bird's nests and home-built furniture?? What's not to love?!

OOH, I love your HUGE kitchen and wonderful wood floors!

Your place looks like the kind of place I would be very comfy in!

Great house! Thanks for sharing!

[catcrazylady]

Willie, what a wonderful woodsy place to live! I love it. The cabin walls in the living room and your big bright kitchen! I love your old stove and the rolling pin collection too!
How nice to have a pretty bird and soon to be babies greet you when you come in the front door. That's wonderful. I bet Mario really likes his house in the jungle.
Thank you for the tour! These tours are nice because it really makes you feel like you get to know each other better.

I better hurry and get to mine!!

[Kirsten]

Boy, what a sky!!!! Looks like a storm is coming up!

What I wouldn't give for a big kitchen like that! I like your big tub too!
I had to smile at the Santa's and bunnies. I have quite a collection of both myself! I have more collections than places to display them so the Santas and Snowmen only come out for a month every year. I need a huge display shelf for all my collectibles. This holiday season I will photograph and post my Santa's.

Willie, thanks for the tour of your beautiful home. I also love your big kitchen.

[sirrahbed]

Thank you for inviting us in Willie I don't think I have ever seen a kitchen with so many cabinets! I also LOVE the cobalt blue counter tops. I will have to show hubby the beautiful handmade furniture - that desk is especially beautiful I think. Omegosh and hardwood floors! We only had one set of military quarters with hardwood floor and that was in Louisiana - special officers unit and we had them for only 6 months and then moved again but LOVED them. ah!!! Looks like you have hardwood throughout?? You have a very cozy and warm home, Willie.
Thank you again for having us!!!

Jimmy, my husband made a lot of the furniture in our house. He made the coffee table and Inn tables, which I didn't show, they looks like antiques, from the grandkids playing on them. Maybe, I'll take pictures of them later on. He is good at making furniture. Things he made like what I put the rolling pin on, he made that. He is very handy when he wants to be!

I would like to show my entrance hall more clearly, but right now it is in a little bit of a mess. I have been spring cleaning for the past month, so that is yet to be cleaned.

My other hall, has a hole down next to the floor, where my daughter got mad at her fiancee, and kicked a hole there! Oh well, our house is pretty much lived in, seems we always have somebody living with us!
