i thought you might like to have a little tour of our 'roundhouse' today.
we still have not finished decorating since moving in~we need to do the walls of the bedroom and put a new floor down in the living room as well as paint the kitchen after we had new units put in.
i commented to robyn over at villa maria that even now i feel it is not right, it does not feel special yet~it needs more color~we will get there.
i plan to have it finished by either samhain or yule and between now and then buy some bits and pieces to make it feel more homely

bottles and jars in the bathroom
this large painting by my dad has followed me from room to room, house to house for over twenty years now
do you like our 'busy' fridge?
our kitchen is a mish-mash of odd pots, bowls and dishes~i love my huge, but heavy, wooden chopping board which i oil regularly
for jugs of iced tea~i gained a taste for it on my trips to america and canada and it always brings back wonderful memories
we still have not re-decorated after having our new kitchen fitted
beautiful sea glass & a cockeral from madiera
decoration at the back door
rosemary~rowan wand & handfasting invite for joining of two beautiful souls
our resident piskie
one of my piles of books which are scattered around the house
lake tahoe has a special place in my heart and i found this ash tray from one of the old hotels in Tahoe, harveys, not in amaerica but here in england
down there somewhere is harveys!

Your home looks very cosy and inviting x
Thanks for the tour. Love all your little knicknacks.

why does that little piskie seem so familiar?
ooooh...thanks so much for the tour -- i think it's the 'little things', the bits and pieces that are special to us that really make a house into a home..not so much the paintwork and sofas and such...
that's what I keep telling myself 'cos I hate painting (walls, that is..;))
xo
thank you all :)
robyn~i brought this little piskie home from my nans when she passed to the summerlands last year~she had it for many years and it once contained mead! more than likely it came from devon or cornwall as she and my gramps would take coach trips there often.
One of the things that makes a home is having things around that hold happy memories of people and places. I love your header picture, it's absolutely beautiful.
I love the painting by your dad ... so, so beautiful.
thank you Juliana~the painting is very special. my dad went to art school when he was young but took a different path in life~possibly conforming to society~but he never stopped paiting and still paints now. he has had exhibitions but never sold any as he did not want to lose them.
