Julia at Hooked on Houses is hosting a delightful House Tour Blog Party and you're invited. Be sure to click on over to her site to check more beautiful home tours. In the meantime, we'll begin with mine:
I used these mason jars to add a bit of fall candlelight by the outdoor entry way. You can't beat the illumination that these jars put out.
This is the same area of the outdoor entry way decorated for fall.
As you walk through the front door, to the right is my office/studio, the place where it all happens! My blog is up on the computer screen.
Another area of the office, there is a lot of storage space in here!
I skipped the living room for this tour, as I need to update those pics. So if you will, meander on into a corner of the kitchen, a place where I spend a lot of time. As you can tell blue and white is my thing, it always has been. I love my kitchen, it has loads of drawers, cabinets and natural lighting.
This is a one of my craft areas in the kitchen. It may be nice and neat now, but trust me, it can look like a tornado hit it at any given moment!
The other direction and down the hall, take a right into the master bedroom. His and her walk in closets. Guess whose is bigger?
This is our baby girl Chloe, I hope she is comfortable and has a big enough napping area. I think she thinks it is suitable :)
And just a corner of the master bathroom, but the most important one, a place to leave all your troubles at the door. Candles, big fluffy towels, a tub filled with an herbal bath soak, what more does a girl need?
Back out the front door to the green, green grass of home.
Thanks for visiting, next time I'll include more great outdoor shots too.










Hi, Pennie! Thanks so much for joining the blog party. What a nice blog you have! I really like your header.
The picture at the top of your post with the Ball jars is lovely. I have a thing for Ball jars and keep a couple with candles in them like this on my kitchen window sill. They make me happy. They look so pretty the way you have them with the purple flowers between them. The second photo is beautiful, too, with the white pumpkin.
Your home looks so bright, clean, and organized! Your cats made me smile--I love cats. :-)
Great tour! Thanks for playing along. -Julia

This was wonderful! I love your bell jars and the fall decor. Oh and you are right, what more does a girl need other than candles, fluffy towels and a sweet bath ;)
Thank you for giving us the tour!

I'd so be spending a lot of time in that bathtub! A nice book, a glass of wine, a little nap...

Hi Pennie,
What a beautiful home you have, it's so inviting. I especially love your kitchen, as the kitchen is my most favourite place to be at home. I wish I had more space in mine to house all my cooking equipment! :)

Your home is so light and airy. I think Chloe may have the best seat in the house!

I never thought to put candles in Ball jars -- perfect! I'm definitely putting that in the design rotation. :-)
Your home looks lovely...so much great light flowing in! Thanks for sharing.
