This is the end

We are at the end of out tour now. Today I have included the bedrooms, the game room and the basement. The home itself boosts 3300 sq. ft with out the finished basement. You have many closets through out the home. The basement has a couple large walk in storage rooms, a workshop, a utility room, a craft room and an additional family room. The home has all Anderson windows,  the roof is only 5 yrs old.

This is the Master bedroom which is on the first floor. there is a large walk in closet and a Master bath.

This is the room above the garage. There are sky lights and lots of open space. There is also a small kitchenette so you don't need to run back down to the kitchen. A bathroom too. Can't you just picture a huge flat screen and having a crowd over to watch the game? I have some houseplants I think would do really well up here and I could snuggle in to watch HGTV  or movie night with the family?

This is the basement. See more wood floors and lots of space!

 Now this is a space I could love....the craft room. Not too shabby huh?

As we leave this house I need to tell you my job is not always as glamorous as this. Most homes could never compare. This one is a home I would love to live in, who wouldn't? Most homes are average and some are nasty, but there is a spot for everyone and everyone taste is different and there are many different styles. I enjoy each one in an individual  way. This home is just one I knew my peeps would like too. Here is a link if you are so inclined. Click HERE

Let me know what you all think. I see tons of views, but hardly any comments. Or if you want more info on this home, pop me a email.

Stay warm!

Continued~ part 3

Let me take you into this wonderful home. It was built in 1988. Not that you would believe it. It feels like an antique home. The perfect spot for a Gentleman's farm.The first time I came to this home I was struck by how tranquil it was, not just the home the whole setting. The minute I stepped through the door I fell in love.  I know I showed this door before, but it was the first thing I saw and I love it so much. It opens to a small powder room. There are many period features in the home. It all creates such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The owners love their home and you can tell how much of themselves they put into creating this paradise.

This is the back entry to the home the door at the end leads to the three car garage with large game room above. The game room has a kitchenette and it's own bathroom. What a beautiful guest suite or space for an extended family.

I love, love love, her crocks by the back door.

 Talk about attention to detail. The woodwork through the home is stunning.

 

From the fireplaces, the raised panels and the built ins the quality shows everywhere you look. I love this office which looks out over the back and side yards. 

This is the front stairway....did I mention there is a rear stairway off of the kitchen too?

 

A little peek of the rear stairway~

Today let me take you around the outside for a bit. You see the pretty garden from the kitchen and the brick patio.

Looking towards the front you see one of the many stonewalls.

The stone wall at the entrance of the long driveway. The underground utilities keep the views pristine.

The back entry to the home~

The back of the home~

The 28' x 64' barn. Just imagine what you could do with this, Horses? Landscaping equipment? Sheep? Art studio? Antiques? Cars? What would you do with this space?

The Owner moved this old out house here. The charm of this is priceless. It sits among the many fruit and chestnut trees. Again surrounded by the beautiful stonewalls. 

So would you like to come inside this home? not the outhouse....

My kitchen (part 2)

This is my finished project. There is plenty of light and the addition ceiling height really opens the space up. There was a lot of bead board painted, but well worth it.

                               The view I always seem to show you all.

                               My little cook book area, right by the pantry door.

                                           Looking towards my office and back door.

 My washer and dryer are behind the bi fold doors, no changes here same as before.

Click Here for some of my favorite photos taken by Linda Rudman for A Primitive Place. The dining area has changed, but I loved her kitchen photos.

 

I hope you all enjoyed the tour of my kitchen which really isn't new anymore, but it is my favorite room in the house. It opens to my dining area which has the brick corner fireplace that has contained many, many fires. Kept us warm on blistery winter days. Kept us warm when the power was out for days last year :)  These are my happiest places in our home. We spend the most time here. Family gathers here, meals are shared, holidays and birthdays are celebrated here.  Memories are made!

Let me ask, what is your favorite space in your home and why?
 Thank you all for coming by!

My Paint Colors

The question I get asked the most is what are my paint colors so I thought I would do a post on my paint colors so here goes:

My Home outside color is Benjamin Moore Briarwood
The doors are Devine Wine by Behr

Next up is my kitchen, my cabinets were made by Plain and Fancy because they would match any Benjamin Moore color, and we loved the product they made. The Color is Bennington Gray HC-82 as is all the trim. The bead board back splash is Rattan AF-375 also Benjamin Moore. The pantry is Elk Horn AF-105.

Then comes the dining room, open to the kitchen so I used the same colors in a different way, the trim is still Bennington Gray, but I used Elk Horn from the pantry on the walls. This is my favorite room....

Then we go into the living room. This is on the south side and is always a sunny room. The colors are both from Benjamin Moore, the walls are Sag Harbor gray HC-95 and the trim is Carrington beige HC-93.

The front foyer is next and I am just redoing it to match the upstairs hall. We just got all the wallpaper off and I am waiting for my contractor to put some crown moulding up.

The walls Crown Point Sand HC-89 and the trim is Northampton Putty HC-90

My bedroom which I don't show too much, maybe because it is blahhhh...

it is a Martha Stewart color Clay. My Benjamin Moore dealer color matched it for me. I just love Benjamin Moore paint that much.

I hope this helps answer some questions...I have noticed how similar all my colors are too....wonder what that means?
