ABOUT WHERE BLOGGERS LIVE Welcome to the monthly edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes? Over the next few months, a group of seven bloggers will be sharing their work spaces, their homes, towns and…
Where Bloggers Live: My Home
Welcome to our home. Moving to Louisiana has been a bit of a homecoming for us. The Hubs and I met when we were stationed at Fort Polk, about 45 minutes away from where we live. You can read about our first date here. When we found out we were moving here, The Hubs and…
My Home Office
When we first moved to our new house, I’d planned to make my office upstairs but Squeekerz had other ideas. He’ll be 18 this year and going up and down the stairs is incredibly difficult for him. For the first few months, I carried him upstairs whenever I needed to work, but – if you…
House Tour: The Living Room
This is our ferocious guard dog, Squeekerz, he’d like to welcome you to our home. If you’d like to make a lifelong friend, please bring him cookies. Preferably, Girl Scout Shortbread but he’ll accept bread slices… A few weeks back, the kids and I were sitting in the living room talking when they announced that…
House Tour: The Dining Room & Kitchen
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… This is truly the heart of our home. We do everything in this space: eat, talk, laugh, pay bills, cry over said bills… We have a dining room/kitchen combo, which I absolutely love. I’ve found that as my kids have gotten older, I…
House Tour: The Foyer
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… The console table is from Annie Laurie’s Antiques. If you’re ever in the area, you really need to pay her a visit, she has some of the most unique items. In fact, if you come back for another visit, you’ll see a few…
House Tour: The Foyer
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… My foyer is separated in to two parts, so I’m going to split the tour into two separate posts. The foyer is one entry way but there are two walls with two focal areas. What you’re seeing today is the area you see…
New House Tour: The Living Room
I love my new house. One of the things I knew I wanted in our new place was a lot of light. I wanted to be able to take photographs inside without running around, gathering lamps from all over the house and then aiming them at my subject. I also wanted a fireplace. I may…
New House Tour: The Front Porch
You can’t see me, but I’m dancing a jig. Well, I’m not really ’cause I don’t know how to dance a jig but if I did, I would, but it wouldn’t matter ’cause you wouldn’t be able to see me so you’d have to take my word for it. So either way, you just have…
House Tour: Kitchen
When we first bought our house, everything in it was white ~ from the walls to the appliances to the floor. Just. White. I’m so not a white room kinda girl, so I painted the cabinets a deep chocolate brown and the walls what I hoped was sage but dried more of an almost moldy…
