Our House is a Very Very Very Fine House | Colonial Home Tour
I heard through the grapevine that someone was surprised how quickly our house sold & how much it sold for. They mentioned that they thought we had a small living room. At first it hurt my feelings. Our living room was one of my favorite rooms in the house that we made a home. We chose deep sofas & used a lot of furniture to make it feel “cozy”. To us, it was. It had more than enough room for a dance party with my girls, but remained intimate, which was everything I wanted our home to be. Bigger is not always better {in my personal opinion}. However, we were able to seat 11 comfortably, which also fits our entertaining lifestyle.
I know our house was not perfect, but it was perfect for us. I started this blog to share little tidbits to help you design a life & home you love that suits your lifestyle. I always loved the saying “fashion over function”, but why can’t you have both in a home? I feel they blend well, when thought out. I believe in designing a home that celebrates life. Going back to one of my favorite quotes, “What I love most about my home is who I share it with” by Tad Carpenter. Size, doesn’t really matter, it’s the hospitality that counts. I encourage you to welcome guests into your home without worry of what they may think. The most beautiful element of a home are the memories you make in it.
As a blogger, it’s easy to get caught up in “likes” & comments, but I try to remain true to our style & lifestyle & create for my family, not the blog. It may not result in a significant Instagram following, but it has resulted in a happy heart. When decorating, I encourage you to do the same – follow your heart & create for you.
Just before our move, Rose of Paper Crane Photography created a tour of our home through photographs. Enjoy the latest home tour of our traditional Colonial & follow through the links for additional details & sources!
