Things I Love About My Home

David and Bentley and I love our home.  It's our nest, the place where we

laugh, enjoy cooking, relax and share our lives.  There are some special

things I love about this nest and here are just a few.

Every morning while making tea or coffee, I see this little scene above.

It's a vignette that just makes me smile.  

I have two of these toile covered chairs in my living room.  My Mom 

and I found these chairs in a wonderful antique shop in North Carolina

and had them shipped here to Texas.  Our living room is the most 

wonderful spot to be in the morning when the sun comes streaming

through the very large Southern Colonial style windows.  Such a 

happy place.  I call it my morning room with it's sunny yellow walls.

Staffordshire figurines and books, lots of books.  We are readers.  I tend to

read more books than David, he loves his Wall Street Journal and reads it

every day.  We enjoy magazines too like Garden & Gun and Texas Monthly.

I love my Southern Living too and try out recipes from the issue each month.

I love the old scale in my kitchen, and baskets, many, many baskets.

Now this scene is not in my home, but from Marburger Farm last year.

I wish I had purchased some of these vintage red leather books.  I am still

kicking myself that I didn't snatch some up because I know they would

be right at home in our house.

Y'all know I love my roos! 

This little pitcher I found on eBay.  I have a soft spot for anything 

gingham.

And of course, I love the island in my kitchen.  It's the heart of 

our home.

Take a walk around your own home and focus on all the things you

love about it and fall in love with your house all over again!

Make it a great Friday!!

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
