Parade of Homes Linky Party!!!

I've had an incredible week of touring beautiful homes!
Thanks again to all of our participants and viewers as well!!



Today is a day for you to join in on the action!!!
Create a post featuring a favorite room in your home and pop on over and share it with us!

I'll jump start the linky parade by sharing my favorite place in our home:



Our family room!
I love that this room is so comfortable with loads of extra seating!




I totally fell in love with this white chair when Shelley linked it to Creative Cats one week. I had to buy it!  It's the perfect place to sit and read. I put a little yellow painted ladder next to it for a book shelf. Right now I'm reading "Catching Fire". Read "The Hunger Games" first, they're both good!


On the other side of the love seat I stuck this green bench to act as a side table. 
It's in a different place then it was for the apron picture, but that will give you an idea of how frequently I move things around. Lol.  



We have extra books stored on top of the farmhouse window shelves. The Joe and I sell these, but we're taking a little break while we finish the basement.  


Above the overstuffed chair hangs my favorite piece of artwork EVER that was painted and given to me by my cousin Rebecca.  Isn't it fantastic?  Yep, she's pretty amazing.


I also love the fact that I can be right in on the family room action while I'm doing dishes or prepping for dinner!

This is the first piece of furniture ever made be The Joe.  It's a blanket box to hold all of the quilts from Kathy and Dixie and the afghans from Mom.  It wasn't green back in the day, but I thought it would be fun to match the decor of the room. I love the bright cheery colors mixed with the chocolate browns.
  

After seeing the colors in my house, my sweet SIL Deanne made me an apron to match my house.  How nice is that? 

I love this room because it's where we always gather as a family.  It's where we watch t.v., do homework, play with cousins, and read! It's not a decorative masterpiece,  but it fits our family well!

Parade of Homes Day No.5

It's the final day of the parade! 
Too sad!! It's been so much fun to be inspired by these talented ladies!
Being able to tour these homes curbs my desire to walk thru model homes, which I'm sure The Joe appreciates! 
I am now staring at walls trying to figure out ways to incorporate some of the ideas I've seen throughout the week!
I hope you've been inspired to do some fun new things to your own homes!

 I will still occasionally be doing featured home tours with guest bloggers. If you would like to give us a tour of your home send me a couple of pictures. and I'll send you details and schedule you in.   poppyginger@gmail.com subject home tour.   

Also, don't forget about tomorrow's end of the parade linky party.  Create a post on your own blog featuring a favorite room in your home and join in on the fun!

I'm going to go start with today's featured homes.



























If today is your first day, get yourself caught up!
















Meet back here tomorrow to join the parade by linking a post showcasing a favorite room in your home!  I'll be sharing a room as well.  It doesn't come close to matching up to what we've been seeing all week, but I love our home regardless!  We're so blessed to have a place of our own to raise these sweet kiddos!  

See ya tomorrow!!
