♥ Oh My! ♥

I thought I’d share a few things that make the “Oh My” list. These are just a few of things that make my heart go pitter patter…..things that I love……that that I love being surrounded with……things that are “me”.

♥ My Favorite Rooms ♥

Home is my favorite place to be, no doubt. I enjoy walking into a room and just admiring it, not that’s it luxurious or decked out for a magazine, but it just feels cozy and homey to me and that makes me happy! Do you ever do that….just walk into a room and look at things? Maybe not, maybe I’m a little strange....  :) 

Anyway, that got me to thinking…….which room would be my favorite if I had to choose a favorite room in my house? That’s a tough question and I’m not even sure I can say just one. I’m going to say it’s a tie between two because I really can’t choose between the two.

The kitchen is definitely one of them. We spend a lot of time here…….cooking, eating, homeschooling, and even just sitting at the table talking. This is where we plop down when my mom and dad come over. This is just a great hang out place. And since we gave the kitchen a makeover a few years ago, I really love it.

The other one is the living room. I had to say it was a tie here because I really love all the red…..red walls, the red checked couch, and all the Americana. And this is our other hang-out spot. And my piano is there. I like the way it opens to the stairway. Yep, this room makes me happy too (and especially so during the Christmas season, and this year hopefully I'll have my new staircase). 

So what about you? What’s your favorite room in your home? I’ll even say you can make it a tie between two. That’s only fair, right?  And I'd love to SEE them if you want to post about your favorite rooms! 

As always, I thank you very much for stopping by! Have a great day!  :)

Simplify.

I have a sign that hangs in my dining room that says that.

I know it’s not necessarily just talking about things, but more of a slowing down as a lifestyle change, and I gladly embrace that idea.  But still, it got me to thinking the other day.  Dangerous, I know. :)  One day, if/and/or/when we ever move from this house, I know we would downsize. And that led me to another thought. What pieces of furniture mean the most to me? Which ones would I absolutely want to take with me?  

Well…..this is probably number one on the list. Jason has made many things for me (for our home), but this is my absolute favorite. And, big surprise.........it’s red!  Not even sure why it's my favorite; it just is.  :)  It makes me really happy!

Second on my list would be my new Johnston Benchworks furniture, but especially my red-checked couch that I had dreamed about for years!

I’d want to take this with me, but Jason tells me a stove usually stays with the house and that it’s too heavy to move anyway…….but....... we would just have to see about that. :)  I do love my stove!

Those are probably my top picks as far as large pieces of furniture, but these two pieces would be runners up. They’re also special because Jason made them both.  It would be pretty hard to leave without these too.

Am I the only one that ever thinks about such things? What about you? What would you take with you if you downsized?  What are your favorite pieces?

And of course, let me just plug in here and say things are not the most important.  Home is where ever my family is........it's just that my brain started wandering........and then wondering........... what things meant the most to me.  :) And if I was told, I could only take so many pieces of furniture with me, then just what would I take?

I'm linking this post to Elaine's Sunny Simple Life for Sunny Simple Sunday.  :)  Elaine has a wonderful blog.....check it out!  :)
