Why I Love My House
1. I love my big kitchen. I love to cook and the big family style kitchen is a real dream come true.
2. The views. We are so lucky to have the most wonderful views from our front windows. Sunsets are particularly beautiful, as you can see.
3. My fireplace. I have always loved the warmth a fireplace emits in the winter when you have a nice fire going.
4. My bathroom. We have a big shower in it and also a jacuzzi tub. Put a fridge and TV in there and I could live in it.
5. My greenhouse. What a great place to start seedlings in the spring, and store wood in the winter!
6. The patio. I love my patio. Hubby and I laid all the stones on it, and we really enjoy sitting out there having a picnic, cookout or whatever.
7. The screened in porch. It’s a good old New England screened porch and I love it. Why, you might ask? Well, because there is that 3 hour time frame in the early summer evenings when the mosquitoes will just carry you away! the porch gives us a chance to sit out in peace.
8. My laundry room. It is set up with an ironing board, shelves and everything once could want.
9. A heated garage. I know this sounds terribly frivolous, but it isn’t. We had to do this because the garage is under our bedroom and if we hadn’t heated it, we would have had trouble keeping our bedroom warm. So having the garage heated is a good thing because we never get into a cold car.
10. Our family room. This is the room right next to the kitchen. It’s large, open and bright. This is the room we live in.
11. My bedroom. I love it because it’s where I get the most rest and sleep. It’s a quiet dreamy place for me.
12. The attic. It is wonderful and unfortunately too large. I say unfortunately because we are both pack rats and save stuff we should probably throw out. The attic is full. I keep promising to get up there and throw stuff out. Maybe next year!
13. The cathedral ceilings in the family room. It makes everything seem bigger, brighter and brings the kitchen and family room together in a nice way.

It’s a beautiful home 🙂
it’s so wonderful that you love your home so much. from what you’ve shared with pictures, it looks BEAUTIFUL!
Wow, it sounds like you have a beautiful home! It’s so great to have a place that can reflect the real you.
Looks like a very cosy home ! Happy TT
Your home sounds so lovely. I also love a big kitchen to cook in and a fireplace for winter coziness. The picture of your sunset is truly breathtaking…
Lovely Thursday 13!
Mine’s up also…
Not having to get into a cold car sounds like a lovely treat!
Climate controlled garage is the best thing you could have. You can work on your stuff in the winter and summer and still be comfortable. It is on our “dream house” wish list too.
What a wonderful home, and a greenhouse too! Thanks for the tour and for the puppy pics – I love to meet other “dog people”. Thanks for stopping by my blog and Happy TT!
Sounds like a beautiful home. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thursday. 🙂
It sounds like a beautiful home and love the pictures you have shared from your house!!
heated garage is NOT frivilous- air conditioning is a good idea, too. around here anyway. just in case you need to have a family reunion or birthday party in July. of course, I don’t have a garage… happy Thursday, Maribeth!
WOW, I love that view. We have a great view of tree tops and one mountain but the only thing that is missing is water!
Thanks for coming by my T13 today.
Sounds like a lovely house.
Happy TT!
“The cathedral ceilings in the family room” Sounds wonderful!
