Summer Tour of Homes – Welcome to My Home
Welcome, welcome! I’m so glad to see you made it. I hope you didn’t get lost.
Did you just get here fromĀ Angie’s house at the Country Chic Cottage? Her home is so cozy and beautiful (so make sure you didn’t miss her stop on the tour!)
I’m so glad to have you over for the 2013Ā Summer Tour of Homes.
It’s hot outside for sure.Ā These North Carolina summers are hot and humid.
Here’s a glass of sweet tea for you to cool off. Come on in and take a load off in our mudroom.
In fact, feel free to kick off your shoes and relax with me for the next few cyber minutes.Ā I’m not going to talk much, instead I’ll let you soak up the sights.Ā Feel free to ask your questions or leave a comment after you’re done.
Mudroom Project links: Old Door Coat Rack, Fridge Cabinet Shoe Storage Bench, Window Message Center, Circle Diamond Brass Lantern Makeover
Laundry Room Projects: Scraping Popcorn Ceilings, Hanging Swag Fixture, Installing Flow Wall Cabinets.
I promised I wouldn’t talk much, but I have to tell you that this is our brand new kitchen!
It’s still not complete because I have to install the tile on the backsplash and the wall to the right of the sink. But, it’s a far cry from where our kitchen was several months ago after we had an unfortunate plumbing leak.
We truly made lemonade out of that big serving of wet, moldy, asbestos and termite damaged lemons!

Katie, thanks for your kind comment and I saw your feature today of my craft room. Thank you for that.
I loved my time touring your home. My favorite room was your son’s camping themed bedroom. I loved the night feeling with the animals and birds. You have so many creative ideas. Thanks for sharing.
