What an inviting home, Diana! Your family is so fortunate to have such a great place to visit their grands!

Your home is very warm and inviting. Your windows are very nice. Oh, now you've done it. I need to get off here and go clean. After the holiday, mine needs some organizing.

Hope you have a nice winter so you can enjoy that snow!!!!

Diana, i agree with the above posts. Your home reminds me of you, it's warm, and inviting. You really do have a lovely home, it's the kind of place ide like to be. Homely, friendly, warm, and inviting. Well done girl, you should be proud

I need to find the thread with everyone's photos of home. I enjoy so much looking at other peoples homes. Maybe if I get my holiday decorations up I'll post some more. That's what we need a thread for holiday decorations!

Also forgot to ask, is your dining room paper or faux paint? I have some faux painting done in my family room, but it's darker, I really like what you have in your dining room.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I hope that you all know that if you're ever going through southeast Kansas that I DO have a guest room that's available to you!!!

Janet, my dining room is faux painted. I picked up this technique from a friend and it's so cheap and easy to do. Basically it's sponge painting except I used a plastic bag (like a Wal-mart sack---Make sure that you turn it inside out because the printing on the bag bleeds). I painted the wall my base color, which was cream, sponged on a dark color, then a lighter color, then my base color. I used a darker and lighter taupe but I've heard of people using two different colors. It's very easy, just make sure that you don't stay in one spot too long with one color! Oh, and after you dab the sack in the paint make sure you have some old newspapers or a piece of cardboard to dab off some of the excess paint.

I didn't use a sack on mine...I used a sponge roller with odd shapes on it and then a smaller odd shaped sponge to blend with. After the first of the year, I may go with how you did yours with the baggie.

Janet, the thread showing holiday decorations sounds like a great idea! I'd enjoy that a lot.

Then let's do it!! Whoever gets their decorations up and pictures taken can start it. I probably won't be ready to take pics until this weekend.
