Here’s more pics, as promised! My mom, the clever and talented decorator that she is had to add a few more touches before she let me post any pictures! These were taken at night, so they don’t display the gorgeous sun rays that hit these back windows all day long (water to my soul!), but for my friends who have been patiently waiting for pics, here they are!

Eating area in the kitchen...I love how charming this turned out! The table is my parents' old trestle table that we painted a funky brown and the kitchen chairs are very, very old mis-matched chairs that we picked up at a salvage store. My mom, dad and I had quite an experience bringing them back to life and painting them while I stayed with them, but the result was worth the work!

Looking into the kitchen from the great room! I can't believe God blessed me with double ovens and a gas range...for a woman who loves to cook, this kitchen is just too much fun!

Looking at the kitchen from the eating area...I also love how much counter space this kitchen provides!

The great room or what I like to think of as our "Relax and Unwind" room. My hope is that many bible studies will take place in this room as we open our home to our church family and those in our community.

Looking into the great room from the stairs....love the vaulted ceiling in this room and how it opens up the room.

Looking into the great room from the entry way...this is the only room that we purchased new furniture for and it turned out even better than I had planned. I'm so thankful for my mom and her expertise...she really helped all the visions in my mind come to life!
Laura, it’s beautiful!! Congratulations! May God bless your new home and your new ministry! Miss you, my friend.
