A MINI HOUSE TOUR...Part 2

Hi again all you wonderful followers and commenters!  You know I appreciate all your comments and love to read them each day!  And I try to get around to you, too as often as I can!
So here we are again, and this is the view when you step into the entry and look straight ahead.


BUT, BEFORE WE START THIS TOUR....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
WHEN I OPENED MY APP MAGAZINE AND TURNED TO PAGE 4


WHAT DID MY WONDERING EYES SEE BUT 
"My Primitive Place Bear" just as comfy as he could be 




sitting in his own high chair!
He was made by LANA TESTA and she does a fantastic job!
A BIG "THANK YOU" TO APP


Now to get back to our tour...You are standing just inside the front door and if you look right across from the table is this clock and lots of  Primitive samplers from many sources.



Now take "10 Baby Steps" forward and look to the right and you will see the dining area of my Great Room!
Not very big but we make it work


Now continue straight ahead and you will be in the cozy living area of the Great Room!


I did have to show you these two new chairs!  I would rarely recommend to a client to purchase chairs with a print, but these are "Bird Toile" which is so pretty, AND they swivel (to the TV, of course!  LOL)
So Mr. S. O. is so happy to be able to be right in front of it!  HA!


Now we have come almost to the end of the room so we look to the left, and...


you can see the proportions of the fireplace, beadboard, & boookcases and the hutch.  
The old red hutch was too small, even for a fairly small room.


So my dear friends, that is Part 2 of my mini house tour.
I will do part 3, soon but thought I would give you a 
SNEEK PEEK of what is to come!


That new green "Frog Tape" is really great! 


No, he isn't real...just pat his head and he purrs or meows...drives my REAL cat crazy!
Thank you all for becoming followers (who I haven't been able to thank any other way) and for taking time to 
visit me here.  PLEASE COME BACK...YOU ARE SO WELCOME!
Until next time...

  6. Joy, your picture was one of the first pictures I looked at in the APP as soon as I got it but I didn't even realize it was YOU, how cool is that! =] Your bear looks so cute sitting in the little high chair.

    I love your wall of samplers! I would love to do this in my home but I can't find any old ones that are reasonably priced. I will probably make them but then that means the wall will never get finished, lol. I also love all your touches of red, you have a beautiful, cozy home! I love your built in bookcases surrounding your fireplace. The color that you have them painted and the beadboard are wonderfully prim!

    I thought the cat was real, haha! I bet it does drive your real cat crazy.

    I enjoyed touring more of your wonderful home Joy, thank you for sharing it with us~
