Hello and welcome to my house tour...this wonderful party is lovingly hosted by Julia from Hooked on Houses blog fame. Give yourselves a treat today and meander on over to her fantastic~ly awesome blog and take a tour our two...believe me when I tell you that you will be ~ hooked ~ on her blog forever and ever more~ Cha~cha~cha.
Now on with the tour. If you were to come on over to our home this warm....hot....Tuesday morn in Beaverton, Oregon...I would offer you a cup of coffee or tea or my favorite drink ice water and we would head out back and sit on the deck and chat a bit. So...pretend we did that and now let us check out the ol' homestead and hopefully you are amused by my loop~di~loo decorating.....remember the rule ~
"Have nothing in your house that
you do not know to be useful,
or believe to be beautiful."
~ William Morris ~
Our home ~ my corner of the sandbox....where I play,
and refresh and dream and take care of my family.
Welcome!
~ Side of the front porch ~
Tomatoes ~ Salsa anyone?
Pictures of the front porch and plants...the sun is best out front.
The Family Room ~ the tiniest room in the house
and the room we all spend the most time in....
Kitchen ~ I cook up a whole lot~a trouble in this room...
My nook wall ~ love it...
Dinning Room ~ and the love~of~my~life....a carousal rooster....
By now you may have noticed my deep rooster love....
No explanation....just is...
And the tour continues...
Le Powder Room ~ ooh la, la...
Our Living Room ~ and man~oh~man a whole lot of living is done is this room...
The Sunroom ~ a room for puttzing...my favorite thing to do...
The Backyard ~ Bar~be~cue anyone?
Well that is our home...well some of it....I will share more later. Please visit Hooked On Houses for a daily dose of house eye candy...there you will find yummy home delight...enjoy the tour and please visit me again....and again...and then some.
Let the tour continue...

If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you!! -Julia :-)
I love your home, it's so easy on the eyes, does that make sense?
If I were invited to your home, I am guessing that a rooster or pillow would be a great hostess gift for you :)
What a great front porch, great everything, thanks for the tour :)

I love your home! Very cozy!
Very lovely! Your house looks like a comfy, warm place to hang out! I love what you have done with your walls and your beautiful "Bonny Lass" quote in your nook. A gal after my own heart, you are!
GORGEOUS - I really liked the gardens, great curb appeal! I loved the nice fresh look. Everything is tastefully done. Love those roosters too!
Your house is so pretty, but I adore that carousal rooster! What a find! Thanks so much for the tour. Laurie, a/k/a bargainhunr
Ooh! I have a friend who collects roosters. I'll have to send her your way.
Lovely home (and I love your blog header!). Everything looks so, so cozy. And I lovvveee that carousel rooster. I would totally love that for my house, too!
Thanks for the tour! I want to check out the rest of your blog, too...
Your home is beautiful, welcoming and comfortable. I just love it, thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful home you have. I am on the opposite coast but I love everything I see about the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for coming to the party. You must be cool 'cause it's fashionable to be late ;-)
Thank you for opening up your lovely home for the tour today. I enjoyed it inside and out!
Love the roosters.
Covet the doll/model.
A very warm and inviting home.
Just stopping by for the house party tour...hope you don't mind.
I must say that your home is beautiful. I love all of the color. I am a fan of yellow and red too although I don't have much of either around my house.
You are lucky to be living in the Pacific Northwest. My hubby and I are in the process of deciding where to move within the next year and Oregon, Washington, and Colorado are in the running.
Hope you have a great week and thank you again for the tour.
Oh my goodness...your entire house is to die for!! It is so cozy and inviting, and you have so many great pieces!
Thanks for the tour!
