House Tour

     My home is a 1923 cottage. It was built by Louis and Mabel Maples, and their brass name plate is still affixed to the wall next to the front door.  The house is not large, a little over 1800sq feet. But since it's just my husband, myself, and our two cats, it's the perfect size. I try to update the house tour seasonally, so be sure to stop back from time to time to see the changes!

Firstly, Handsome Mr. Oliver, pretending he's a jungle cat with one of my lemon trees.


Master Bedroom










Guest Room








Bath







Hallway








"Acoustic Jam Room"




The Music Studio
















Aaaaaaand this is what summer looks like. 
Funny- do you see that vintage red stool in the yard? That was there so I could stand on it to pick purple lilac blossoms. Just looking at this picture makes my heart ache something fierce. 
Goodness I hate winter.

  14. Hello, just saw the sweet "bar/kitchen island" you're a genius! Well, okay extremely creative. Then I took the tour.....may I move in? If only we hadn't "completed" our decorating. Well there's always the deck. Any suggestions?
