More Pictures..........



~ As Promised More Pictures ~

Here are a few more pictures of my home.
These of course didn't make into the magazine
but I wanted to share them with you.
It's amazing how many pictures they do take
and can use only just a few of them.

The pictures were all taken by the talented
Mark Lohman



Front Porch

I love how Sunday made my front porch look!
I painted the bench a week before the photo shoot
in a pale pink color.
She brought things I had on my back porch
and used them here.



Piano

I love my piano.
I had been wanting one for a long time.
Some friends were moving and needed to get rid of it.
I told them if they were ever going to sell it to
"Please" let me know.
Well they just gave it to us
and delivered it which was a two hour drive.
It's nice to have Great friends!!!


Desk
I love this picture!
It's on page six of the Romantic Country magazine.
My cabinet is much fuller with clocks then in this picture.
I was just starting to collect them before the photo shoot.
The pink roses are from my garden.



Fireplace

Although this picture is in the magazine
the picture below is a completely different look.
I guess they liked the first one better.
I like them both!


Dining Room

Close-up


Well here is another picture that didn't make it.
It's another different look of my dining room.
I can't decide which one I like best
but I guess they liked the first one better.
Although I do like my pink chair there.
Close-Up
Bedroom
This picture shows more on my green dresser
which you can't see much of in the magazine.


This one is a different look again
which they didn't use.


This one shows more of the night stand
which was cut in half in the magazine.
I love this vintage table.




Back Porch

This is an old dresser that sits on by back porch.
I found it a few years ago in the trash.
My daughter and I were driving by
and I pulled over to take a look at it.
I loved it and put it in the back of my car.
It was so Heavy!
My daughter was so embarrassed.
A day later I found another dresser in the same trash.
I brought that home too!





Garden


I LOVE this photo!
My favorite place to be is in my garden.
I have over 50 PINK rose bushes.
I always have bouquets of roses in my home.


Well those were some of the photos.
I hope you like them all.
Please let me know what you think of them!
There will always be more pictures
I am forever changing and moving things around.
In fact I have some ideas of what I'll do next.............

Hi Elizabeth
This is my first visit here @ the shabby romantic. Congratulations on having your gorgeous home showcased in Romantic Country magazine! The photos are wonderful and my favourite is your garden photo with the white step ladder, little blue child's chair, garden sign and rustic metal chair. I look forward to stopping by again.

Fifi said...

It does not matter which version of your rooms we picked for the magazine because each room is gorgeous regardless of the look of the moment. The reason your home always looks beautiful is because it is a reflection of your beautiful self! Voila!

Hi Elizabeth,
I found you through Rachel (A Romantic Porch). I didn't realized your home was in the RC magazine, it's lovely, you've got such a flair.

I really wish people around my neighborhood would leave nice pieces of furniture around for me and my daughter to put into the back of the car - love that dresser!

Glad to have found your blog!

Laura said...

Wow, what a gorgeous home. I'm definitely going to have to borrow some of your ideas for my recently purchased cottage home. I've done some minor decor changes but have full renos starting in the spring. I hope when it's all said and done it looks as lovely & inviting as your home does. I love the idea of having all those roses. The garden here was neglected for many years so I need to bring that back to it's full glory. I'd love to see more pics of your garden.

God bless,
Laura

Oooohmygoodness, what a sweet blog. I found you quite by accident as I went searching for blogging chicks who I've NOT given this award to and to "broaden" my horizons on blogland. Please accept this invitation by going to my blog of yesterday. I doubt you'll find me "DULL" and am such a positive person and funny, too, sweetpea! Anyway, I'd also like to exchange blog links with you if you'd like. You may email me by going to my profile page and my email addy is there. Also I'm having a faux pastries giveaway tomorrow if you'd like to join in. And you're from California, tooooooooo?!?!?! Oh, be still my heart. So are we, but we relocated to Idaho several years ago! Nice to meet you, sweet shabby chickadee!!
Smoochies,
Connie
