When we were looking to by this house my dad had just passed away. Being the only child I really wanted my mom close by and when we found this house with a full above ground unfinished walkout basement I new it would be perfect to do a mother/daughter set up. So my mom agreed and sold their house which was to big for one person to live and we had an architect come in and draw up designs that would work the best. When she picked the one she liked, the contractors got right to work. We love the fact she's here with us and I love how my kids can be with her all the time. She does everything with them and those are memories they will always have.
First up, tour of her bedroom. The furniture in here is from when they got married and is 43 years old and still looks brand new. I love this set.
She just changed to her winter bedding.
I really want that little silver teapot lamp but I can't get her to budge!
Her dressers and bed came from Ethan Allen
We had to do a drop ceiling in most of her apt due to pipes. It makes it much easier if we had to get to them. Her kitchen is the only room with a 9ft sheet rock ceiling.
Well that's it for the bedroom tour. I'll show you her other rooms soon. She is in the process of getting a new couch and chairs, so I will wait until they come in to do the tour of her living rm and dining rm. I always look forward to our visits. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today I'll be joining the Room by Room ~ Kitchens party over at Cottage & Vine and Nifty Thrifty Tuesday over at Coastal Charm. Our kitchen is truly the heart of our home. It's where everyone always seems to gather and it's where I seem to spend most of my time. I'm sure that goes for most of us!
Our kitchen island was the latest thing to get a makeover in here. A few months ago the hubby and I added beadboard and decorative molding to it, to give it more of a custom look. The painting and distressing we let get done by a professional.
Here's how it looked before....... BLAH!

This $12 silver pitcher is still one of my favorite finds!
