Your homes are both wonderful they are some much bigger than the average home in uk. You can not swing a cat in my bedroom or me lol.
Will post pictures of my house but will have to get my son to sort that out for me .

Marilyn your home is so rich looking and just beautiful. That is what I've always wanted. You have great taste in furniture too. My furniture is almost 25 years old and even though I try to take great care to make it all last, it is really showing signs of wear and 'butt prints'...lol Maybe someday.

There is a down side to everything. We've moved so many times that it would be hard to imagine actually staying some place and redecorating. Since we've been married, we've built 6 new homes in the same county for us and lived in rent houses in between some of them. Our poor daughters never really got to be long term friends with the kids in the neighborhood, but at least they know people all over town. We have boxes in the attic that haven't been opened for a couple of moves. Next time, I've told hubby, we need to build a storage building/shop, first, then the new home, move all the stuff we don't use everyday to the storage building/shop and go through it all.

One thing though, we've had all the latest trends in decor. Each home had a color palate and style that was the latest thing at the time it was built, and my appliances are always up-to-date.

What a beautiful home you have Marilyn! Looks like something you would see on HGtv! Do you mind me asking why you have built and moved so many times? I would never want to leave a house like that.

I think that the building and moving have to do with her husband being a contractor. I can see where you would want to live in a very up to date home for your husband to be able to show clients what he can do for them.

Marilyn, your home is beautiful!!! I love your front door!!! Mine is really plain but it fits with the house. And your kitchen cabinets are absolutely beautiful!! What a kitchen!!! Everything looks so very nice!

I would love to have moved a few times more than we have, but with my husband being a farmer we're stuck in one sparse area. We built our home 8 years ago and tried to incorporate as many ideas as we could to make it comfortable in our old age. (Handicap doorways, washer and dryer on main level, pull out shelves in the cabinets, and etc.) Once is all that we plan on building but I love to decorate and moving a few more times would have been fun for me. The last home that we lived in was an old farm house with a trailer house attached and we lived there for 19 years.

Marilyn Your house is gorgeous. I love the tranquility of it. The faux wall treatments are stunning did you do those yourself? I love to paint. I can't wait to have a place where I can.
