The Kitchen and Great Room

Popping in with a few after Easter photos of the kitchen and dining area...

 

We've been enjoying some nice weather in Alabama this week.

I took photos quickly and then realized you can see dust and smudges.

Remember we live here ;)

All Is Merry and Bright

Happy Holidays Dear Friends...

Yes, I know I've been absent for quite a bit.

I had to replace my digital camera at a bad time for bloggers.

But we are all set now... and I hope to see you more often again.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

We certainly did.

The Cutest Construction Workers....

Just a few more pics of the house this weekend.
The girls looked so darn cute in the yellow hats.
I will share the inside this week...
And then a bit more of the view.

I took a ton of photos this weekend!

Beautiful Day At Lake Guntersville, Alabama

Hello again and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

My parents came down for the long weekend and

we headed down to Lake Guntersville, AL.

Lake Guntersville is almost 70,000 acres and about 30 minutes from our new home were building.

It is surrounded by mountains and wildlife... rocky cliffs and so many wonderful forest areas.

It has quickly become on of my favorite places.

This weekend we rented a pontoon boat for the day...

Here are a few of the beautiful lake houses we enjoyed....

{Sweet Tea Diary} May 12, 2017

Yep, she's gone off the deep end.
Gone from talking to herself--- to doing a online diary.
Hee... it was bound to happen.

But sometimes I have things to say that don't have a thing to do about design.
So here is my new thing...

Suddenly Southern Sweet Tea Diaries...

Starting With A Firm Foundation

Yes, finally after all this wait....

They are starting on the house this week!
YEAH!!!

No, nothing really to show you.
Unless you like to see a porta-potty,
rebarb and concrete blocks.

But it is so great to see something happening at our lot!

So I wanted to share with you something I did at the Farmhouse.
And something I am doing this week for this home...

I am burying a Bible in the Foundation Of Our Home.

Welcome To Several New Followers....

 When I opened my email this morning I was so happy...

To see so many new follower requests!

I have missed blogging so much.

But some days with us in the rental...

it feels like a hotel room.

Not  the pretty, homey spaces I like to share.

But soon, very soon... I hope to be settled into our new home.

And sharing all the spaces and ideas.

Family Time in Destin....

 Today I wanted to share some pics of our recent trip to Destin, FL.

Spring In Alabama....And Big News

Hello again, I know it has been too long again.

A lot has happened since we last chatted.

Its been a little over a week since we emptied out our Indiana farmhouse.

It was exhausting and emotional.  But it is all in the bigger plan.

Part of my heart will always be in Indiana with family and friends.

But it is a welcomed, warm feeling of hopefulness that I have now.

Spring is beautiful in Huntsville.

There are blooming trees and plantings everywhere.

One of the first things I noticed is all the landscape in the area.

Not just homes, but along freeways, parking lots and businesses.

I love all the lushness and cozy hometown feel.

Plus daffodils bloomed before Valentines Day... crazy right?
