They are so w...I enjoyed reading the many comments! They are so wise and right! Our home was build in the early sixty's. Now it is considered a starter home. Although I would love to have a den or a laundry room it is not going to happen! :) Your home layout must be nice to allow you room for a chair in the kitchen and the bedroom. I would love to have a little place to be able to sit and read without hearing the tv. There is no need for any sound systems in such a little house..the sound is everywhere! :-) My kitchen counters are tiled but original to the house as is the sink. So both are chipped and the sink stains very very easily as there is hardly any porcelain left! Yet..Yet it is home and here is where God put us. It is up to us to live in it happily. <br />As you can tell we all enjoy hearing of the plans and things you have done to brighten your own home. We can share ideas and enjoy the kinship of it all. Housework is a way of getting something you want to get done badly and even if you cannot change the worries in your life you can get something done. That at least give you satisfaction that you can change and have control over something in your life.<br />I have been reading say 4 books at a time. picking up which one suits the mood I am in. One I just had to give away as I never could get into it.<br />I think you have gotten lots and lots of things done in your home and even major things like the porch. It looks great!! Feel good about yourselves! I wish I could say the same about here!! :-)<br />Whether you are on plan A or H it is very wonderful that you and John are on the same page of plans!!<br /> SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-15791163826055124702015-04-03T18:15:40.335-04:002015-04-03T18:15:40.335-04:00Just wanted to drop in and wish you a blessed East...Just wanted to drop in and wish you a blessed Easter. We worship the same LORD. 😊<br /><br />I always enjoy your posts and your pictures. Don't ever apologize. 😎<br /><br />I have lived in a double wide for 37 years out here on the prairie. I love my house and know it is a gift from God. <br /><br />We've been doing some remodeling these past few years as dollars became available. Our contractor tells us that many new homes are built very badly, so when he works on our mobile home, which some think of as inferior housing, he considers no different. I know the guys on This Old House years back laughed about remodeling a mobile home. They wouldn't consider it! Too bad for them! 😄<br /><br />I have loved owning my home all these years. It was affordable and has done us well. This gal is thankful!

I ...I have to "ditto" the comments above! I love seeing your home, and think you do a wonderful job with what you have. So often, we think that we will be happy when....we lose five pounds, have a new bedspread, buy some new dishes. Happiness is right here and right now. Your home reflects that philosophy, and I appreciate your sharing so much! I love the way you prepare your table for your special evenings, and take this and that to make lovely vignettes. I would love to see even more of your pretty little house!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262649388258575696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-65578085507934154982015-04-02T17:14:03.405-04:002015-04-02T17:14:03.405-04:00Love, love, love old things.

The bedspread is very old also, but I have kept it in good shape. The quilt was a wedding present from his grandma. Have a number of pieces of furniture that are old family pieces, most that someone else would throw away. Don't ever undervalue your talents. I would much rather go into a well loved home than a showplace anyday of the week. Besides showplaces make me nervous! I also love to "look over" my "stuff" once in a while to see where I could use things that have been in one place for a while. Money for decorating is not in my budget. Recently moved a chair into the guest room, and now when I can't find gramps that is where he is. "This room is so sunny and bright, a nice place to read". I think my making things for my home and changing things around as a hobby. It is sure a lot less expensive than most hobbies! A few dollars spent here and there are good therapy.

I was sick in bed so got to watch it. What a terrific movie. <br />I am inspired by your home decorating/upkeep stories. It renews my interest in my own home care. Love, love, love pictures of crafts and home. As others have said your home is real and far more inviting than the not real glossy perfected rooms of many blogs.

For, as I've shared with you previously, I am in a very similar circumstance. And seeing and reading your ideas on how you come up with creative items on a tight budget inspires me every time. I know why God has kept me where I am - to teach me humbleness and contentment. And He is so faithful to bring along a bright spot just when I need it. You are one of those bright spots my dear. Keep shining even on those months (my March has been similarly frustrating) when you aren't sure you have much battery left in your flashlight.<br /><br />Prayers for a better April!<br />Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251936768042830801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-66658175647503051862015-04-01T08:54:46.478-04:002015-04-01T08:54:46.478-04:00Hi Terri, I am so far behind in reading you and my...Hi Terri, I am so far behind in reading you and my favorite blogs, I'm catching up a little now and plan to read lots more in the waiting room tomorrow. <br /><br />I like your home photos, frankly I am bored with the perfect photoshopped professional looking photos on the big time blogs, they have no bearing on my life. <br />I like real homes where families really live and work and play.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-77520843721006362052015-04-01T08:19:15.855-04:002015-04-01T08:19:15.855-04:00oh I love it when you share pictures of your home!...oh I love it when you share pictures of your home!

The kind of place where you know you will feel at home and that's very important. I read your blog all the time and love to hear about your everyday life it's interesting and at times educational for me. Please keep it up.Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421437548016068419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-62953372378006750292015-04-01T00:01:37.920-04:002015-04-01T00:01:37.920-04:00I thought that the recent decorative projects you ...I thought that the recent decorative projects you did in your kitchen were very pretty. <br />In the post where you rearranged your easy chairs everything looked very cozy. It's always enjoyable to see what you have done in your home. <br /><br />Since my home is small, it is more inspiring to me to see how others with homes that are close in size or just a bit bigger than mine decorate. <br /><br />When I take photos for my blog I try to avoid letting too much of our hardwood floors show in the picture. Our floors need to be refinished. The varnish on them is in really bad shape. It is going to be an expensive, complicated project, and by necessity continues to be put at the bottom of the to-do list.<br /><br />My home is small and not fancy or very up to date, but a lot of living has gone on here since we moved here in 1978. <br /><br />It's not the size of our homes that is important. It's the love that's in them.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.com
