Mimi Sue's Cottage

A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth.

Home Tour III

I hope you're not getting too bored with my home tour pictures cause I've got a bunch more. Stop here if you are, if not, here we go. My friend Lorraine lives in a house that was built in the 1800's. They bought the house about seven years ago and added a large family room, office, laundry room, and master bedroom suite. They did a wonderful job renovating the old part of the house. This was the back porch right off her kitchen, now she calls it the "dish room". I need a dish room!
The living room in the old part.


The renovated kitchen.

The master bath. They did a really good job blending the new with the old.


The laundry room in the new addition. Love all of her old sinks, this one she found in a field behind her son's home.

Guest bedroom.


The next home was built in the 1800's too. I loved all of the old molding, high ceilings, and quirky steep stairs. Kirstan was an art major in college. Loved all her holiday touches.

Don't you love this family picture collage? I love it!

I need to thank Aubrey, my new blogging friend, for bringing over a CD with all these pictures. I was having major problems with my camera and she was kind enough to share her pictures with me. So thank you so very much Aubrey. She also brought over a little plate of orange fudge that was to die for. Notice I said was, it's all gone, I ate most of it all by myself! Thank you for the new addiction, Aubrey! It was delish.

I'm glad they worked for you.

I loved Lorraine's house and was glad I didn't fall down Kirstan's stairs.

I definitely don't get sick of peeking into other people's homes to get ideas! This house is so neat with all the charm and history in it. Love the old sinks and tub!
