Hello, Dear Ones!
I'm Shelia and my blog is called Note Songs and I'm so thrilled that my friend, Cindy, has asked me to share my home with you today. I've been blog friends with this pretty lady for quite some time now. The first time she showed the front of her home I thought, "Her home looks a little like mine!"
This is Cindy’s home…
And this is mine, built in 1970…
Our houses could be cousins!
So here's a tour of my Notes Songs cottage…
I have double front doors as does Cindy, but mine doesn’t have the pretty pediment.
Come on in...
Here's the living room on the left side of the entry.
The dining room is by the stairs on the right.
The den is where Mr. Precious and I spend most of our time and I blog in my recliner. I'm so lazy!
Right behind the den is the sun porch. I've made all of my pillows and window toppers.
My kitchen is very small but I do love it. We had the cabinets refaced about a year ago and got new counter tops.
This is my breakfast room and my little hutch gets changed out almost monthly!
Okay, we'll head upstairs now.
Here we are at the top of the stairs and this is where Edra resides. I found her on Craig's List a few years back, painted her red and she lives on happily ever after.
This is our master bedroom where I should get more hours of sleep than I do. Somehow I just can't get off my computer at night!
Our master bath was redone a few years back. New counter tops, new mirrors, a new tiled shower for Mr. Precious. All was new except for my bathtub. Just so you'll know, it's avocado green! I know, I know! :)
Through the frosted glass door in the bathroom is our little sitting room. This is such a calm place to sit and watch TV. It used to have a 1970s hot tub for 6! Mirrors on the wall and lots of lattice looking wallpaper. It has a rug now and a few more pieces of furniture but I didn't have a recent snap.
This is the guest bathroom and more mirrors. I won't tell you that through the door to the left your eyes would pop out to see a harvest gold tub and potty! I know, I know...1970s again.
This is Mr. Precious' office. You can see why I've never shown you this room before ~ he keeps it quite messy. He's a collector of military memorabilia, so there are lots of goodies around. He's an avid runner and above the olden leather sofa are some snaps of him from marathons he's run. I don't tell him he has hot legs for nothin'! :)
I affectionately call this bedroom 'The Grandma Bedroom'. It's filled with furnishings from both sets of grandparents ~ the olden bedroom set and the Singer sewing machine. I'm not going to show you much of the room because it needs lots of work and I want to spruce it up some. This is also the room where I sew.
This is the guest bedroom. Not too fancy and has the first canon ball bedroom set Mr. Precious and I bought not long after we married. My mother used to quilt and she made the quilt on the bed for me. I do treasure it.
The Heart of My Home…
We moved into our home almost 17 years ago and the minute my husband and I walked in the door we knew this was the one for us. We prayed a blessing on our home that God would make everyone who entered to feel His presence and at home. I love to entertain and open up my home to friends and family and I have had visitors tell me they just felt so at home here. I love that. I guess my decor style is mostly traditional. I love color with a little bit of fun tossed in. I know many have a much grander home but I just love it and feel so blessed to live here. I hope you felt at home today!
Well, that's the tour of my home. I've shown you more of my home today than I ever have, I hope you have enjoyed the tour!
Thank you so much, Cindy, for asking me to share my home with your blog readers today. I'm truly honored!
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia
I definitely felt at home touring Shelia’s beautiful home, didn’t you! I love her foyer, the staircase is spectacular! We have become great friends, kindred spirits for sure. If you already know Shelia you would agree that they just don’t come any sweeter, she is a precious lady.
Thanks so much for sharing your home with us Shelia!
