Another home tour...

I am posting my "Show off your cottage Monday" post a couple of days early. I will link it with Cielo at 'The House in The Roses' on Monday. I have been so busy at work and it is just going to get busier and busier so I decided to take advantage of a little free time while I can to blog. I'm thankful that the store has been so busy with the economy being like it is.

I wanted to show you another 'home' that I looked at a while back. It is another manufactured home and it is a triple wide. I love looking at them. (I get so many ideas.) A friend of mine works there and she lets me look whenever I want to. This one is gorgeous and if I was ever in the market for one...this would be one of the top ones that I would pick from! The pictures were taken using my cellphone so some are a little blurry. This picture was taken going inside the front door. You can see my reflection in the glass.

This is the foyer going into the living room/den. You can see the dining room through the archway. I love the hardwood floors. Beautiful...

This is the fireplace in the den. The other side of it is in the breakfast room. I would love that!

This is the master bedroom. It has a huge walk in closet.

This is in the toilet area. It is separate from the bath and shower area.

It has a big bathtub and a huge shower. I love the white shutters on the windows above the tub.

This is the sink area in the bathroom. Double sinks and tons of cabinets. Even a place for a t.v. I could soak in the tub and watch one of my favorite decorating shows.

Look at this huge shower. Going through that doorway is the toilet area.

I could see my self relaxing in this tub with bubbles and a good book. I would look like a prune when I got out. lol

I love how open the rooms are.

This is a side view of the fireplace. You can see that one side is in the den and one side is in the breakfast area. It would be so warm and cozy. It has cubbie holes on the end. (That's what my little boy calls them.) I guess for books and other goodies. I love the stone too.

This is inside the breakfast area looking into the kitchen. I love the arches and columns.

Inside the kitchen. All stainless appliances. Wood butcher block island.

Fireplace in the breakfast room. This would be the room that we would eat in everyday and save the dining room for company and special dinners and holidays. Oh I would have a ball decorating this home!

Shutters on the windows in the breakfast room. It is a blurry picture but I wanted you to see it.

Archway going into the formal dining room. It has five windows in there. I would love it!

There is a solid wall on the left where I could put one of my china cabinets.

Another view into the kitchen. I love the stone around the oven area. It also has a place for a t.v. for me to watch the news in the morning while drinking my coffee.

I love how the stove has it's own sunken in area. There is also a little coffee station to the left of the stove on the other side of the stone wall.

I love the sink and all of the cabinets. They sure don't make these homes like they use to. The counter tops are corian that looks like granite.

This is the view looking outside the kitchen window. A beautiful covered porch with it's own fireplace and a grill for cooking outside. It also has a place for a t.v. above the mantle.

Outside on the porch...under the kitchen windows.

Isn't this a beautiful home? I didn't even show all of it. There are 3 bedrooms in all and another bath with another huge tub and an office, big butler's pantry, and a big utility room. I stayed inside the home for about an hour. I was having a blast decorating in my mind!
Maybe I should start working at one of these places. I would love to sell these homes. Especially if I had customers as excited about them as I am! It would be a fun job! You never know....maybe one day.

I hope that you enjoyed this home tour. Please go over to Cielo's on Monday to see all of the other participants in 'Show off your cottage Monday'.

In the meantime, I will keep dreaming...

A new cottage home...

Today is 'Show off your cottage Monday' at 'The house in the roses' with Cielo. It is where you show off different areas in your home or someone elses and what you love about it. Since I can't load any pictures right now because of my computer problems, I will be showing some pictures of a home that we looked at a couple of weeks ago that is for sale.

This is the master bathroom. I love the colors...so serene. I love the 'bowl' sinks. There is one on each side of the bathtub. The faucet is so neat too.

Beautiful leaded glass window above the tub. This picture didn't show it up too good. There is the other sink on the other side. 'His and hers'.

Master bedroom. Very pretty. Doorway going into the bathroom.

This is going inside the home, standing in the foyer looking into the den. They had Christmas decorations out to make it all look so homey. I love the color green that they chose for the walls. The space above the mantle is for a flat screen t.v.

I love the bookshelves around the fireplace. (Gas logs) I kept thinking...where would the Christmas tree go? I do that every time I look at an empty house. Wonder why?

This one turned out dark. The sun was shining in through the windows.

Looking through the den into the foyer. That's where the Christmas tree could go! In the foyer...

Looking from the den into the kitchen and dining area. It is an 'open' floor plan. The color of the kitchen is called 'Paprika'. I love all of the large molding on the ceiling that separates the different areas.

The long island has open cabinets on each end for dishes. I would love that.

The kitchen has tons of cabinets and a pantry that is huge. Look at that refrigerator. Wow!

One thing that I love about the kitchen is that I could be in there cooking and still be with my family while they are in the den watching t.v. or playing games, etc. I love an open floor plan. I would change up the 'paprika' paint though. It wouldn't go with my things. I would choose a soft yellow for the kitchen with white cabinets. That would be a lot of cabinets to paint! I would leave the green in the den and foyer. It is a beautiful color. I could just see my kids playing board games at this little bar while I'm baking cookies or making popcorn.

Plenty of space for everything.

It has a flat surface stove top and a microwave above it and the oven is in the wall.

I love the 'bin' handles on the drawers. It has huge drawers to store all of your pots and pans.

Plenty of windows in the eating area.

Wasn't this home pretty? I wish that I would have taken pictures of the outside. It looks like a cottage...sage green with white shutters. Can you believe that this is a mobile home? They sure don't make them like they use to.

Hope y'all enjoyed the 'cottage' tour.

Have a great Monday and don't forget to go to 'The House in The Roses' to see all of the other participants.

God's Blessings

This will be a short post because I'm getting ready for work. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you about last night. The stage band at my daughter's junior college put on their Christmas program. It was beautiful! I almost didn't make it in time because I had to work until 7:00 and it started at 7:00. I only missed just a few minutes of it. When Christy came out to sing...I held my breath for a couple of seconds because I know that she gets so nervous sometimes and she has been so stressed out lately with everything. Trying to go to school, be a good mommy and wife, getting ready for Christmas, etc. When she started singing...I started crying. She sang so beautiful! She didn't seem nervous at all. She sang the solo part of 'Breath of Heaven' and then the other singers came in and sang with her. It was awesome! I wish that there was a way that I could play it for you. I know there probably is but I don't know how to do that. They have another performance tonight and Saturday night. I'm going tonight as well. I have to work Saturday night. When I saw and heard her up there singing, I had this overwhelming feeling of how blessed I am. Thank you, God.

Snow,driftwood and holly

I'm trying to get some holiday decorating done today. I am so far behind and I am trying not to stress about it. I want the holidays to be peaceful and stress free this year...like they should be. These pictures were taken at mom's house a few years ago after the snow had melted. I went through my old photos on my computer and tried to find some that I haven't posted about before and these are the ones that I chose.

I love her holly bushes. They look so 'vintagy' to me.

I love the melted snow on this old piece of driftwood. I love the old barbed wire on the top of it too. Mom lives in Kentwood, La. A small town full of dairy farmers and real cowboys. That's what we call them.

Mom usually decorates a big old cedar tree outside too for Christmas and the kids love it. I will have to get pictures of that to post.
I have so much to do today. Today is my day off and I have to do as much as I can. My little boy wants to help me set up our Christmas village when he gets home from school. He loves doing that!

We watched the sweetest Christmas movie the other night. It was called 'A Dog Named Christmas'. It was on the Hallmark Channel. Now he wants me to buy it for him. He loves Christmas movies as much as I do.

I also posted on my Christmas blog today too. 'Christmas with a southern rose'. You can click on it on my side bar if you would like to go there for a visit.

Have a great day!
