My House in August #4: Dining.

I love our dining room. It's not quite
a finished room yet but still a favorite.


I love the peaceful calm and quiet it
alludes too. Before dinners of course.


A place of great food and infectious
laughter, teasing and good fun.

My House in August #3: Rug.


We decided that as much as we love our
hardwood floors, we wanted a bit of a
cushy feeling under our feet at times.
Especially in the winter when it's cold.


We stumbled across as sale one day and
fell in love with this very soft and very
plush area rug. It's hard to tell from this
angle but it's very thick, even too thick
to run the vacuum over it. So we rake
it and give it a good shake. Love it.

My House in August #2: Tiles.

One of the items that we had to choose
when we were building was tiles for
the kitchen. I found it excruciating as I
knew I wanted a vintage aged look.


Our builders' wife took me on a few
trips to their regular supplier and then
to another one they sometimes used.
It wasn't very successful at the time.


Then I went on my own one day and
ended up in the back of the warehouse
where they had a clearance section.
And that is where the perfect tile was.


Tile that had that tumbled look, with a
wide variance in color and tone but in
the same family. And tons and tons of
it so we could use it in many areas.


This is what we ended up with. Because
it was on clearance, we had a credit from
our builder that we used for upgrades with
other items. So happy with this choice and
how well it all came together in our new
home. No regrets at all with our tile choice.

My House in August #1: Cushion.


For the 1st day of the August Photo Challenge, I
chose this shot of the sweet cushion we have on
our arm chair in the living room. I received it as a
gift from someone not long before our grandson
was born. And have loved it every since. It's a very
lovely quote and I truly loved being called "Grandma."
