Tour MY 2 favorite BATHROOMS!


I'm joining KELLY this week at SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE FRIDAY!

This week, is a tour of bathrooms. I picked my 2 new bathrooms in our house to show you! I LOVE THEM. Is it possible to love a bathroom? Well... I DO! I didn't clean before I took these pics..SORRY!

This is our guest bathroom. It is a full bathroom. It is rusty orange and black-coincidentally HARLEY COLORS!

I love the sink and mirror! The floor is tile-like linoleum-easy to clean! Shower curtain-TARGET!
When you walk in.. to the left is the door. These 2 Bible verse pictures hang behind the door.Its a tight space. This is where I have potty trained all the kids! Right outside the door are double doors leading outside! Cute bathroom huh?
Now on to the MASTER BATH. When we designed our bathroom, I wanted a "TRUE SPA FEEL." WELCOME.... Entering through the door. It is peach in color with REAL tile.To the right as you come in is our double vanity with SWIRLY light fixture-LOVE IT! A towel holder for each of us & on the floor on my side-my much hated item...THE SCALE! To the left as you walk in is my little dressing table. I LOVE THIS SPACE! Another squiggly light fixture over my mirror and a $29 DARLING chair from TJMAXX!

On either side of the table are large frosted windows. I LOVE these-they let all the light in but no peepers can see in!

Just across from my table is THE CAPTAINS PERSONAL OFFICE. To respect his privacy, I will not be showing it.Over the tub is a sign that says

"RELAX..IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!"

I know it looks like a very "ADULT FRIENDLY" with the jets and heater and all.

But the sad truth is..... These guys have used it about 100 times more than me. I know there will soon be a day when I can bathe ALONE and I will miss this very much!And these are camouflaged on the inside of the tub :)Around the corner across from the tub is the entrance to our walk-in shower. The Captain saw one like it in a hotel in Vegas and it is AWESOME!! 2 shower heads for when the 6 littles join me.A seat for sitting down, shaving legs or JUMPING OFF OF!Now get a towel and dry off! This is the view as you leave the bathroom.This is "MOONY" the bird. T and I got him and the cage on our shopping trip a while back. The kids ALL talk to him-very bizarre.
I am so thankful that God chose to bless us with such a beautiful home-it's all HIS you know? I'm also thankful that God blessed The Captain with the talents to do almost all the work on our home himself (with the help of a flighty assistant.)

I hope you enjoyed my bathroom tour and just remember what this sign says...
CHERISH Yesterday, DREAM tomorrow and LIVE today!
PS-I need a new daily devotional-any suggestions??

My LIVING ROOM-Show us where you live FRIDAY!

NOTHING HAS CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR SO I am REPOSTING-ENJOY!

I am once again joining KELLY and participating in...... This week is LIVING ROOM WEEK! As you walk in our front door, this small living room is to the very right of the front door. I got this piano FREE off Craig's List. We covered our old popcorn ceilings with wood to match the new part of our house.Another view of the old living room. Hard to remember back to when all 9 of us crammed in here to watch TV and rock babies!Our house is ALL OPEN-this is the view of our GREAT ROOM from the front door. As you can see our kitchen, dining and living room is all in ONE-BONUS!
The thing I remember when I look at this pic is when THE CAPTAIN and I laid all this flooring (1600 sq ft) with 4 babies in tow-VERY INTERESTING to say the least.
I LOVE my black leather sectional-a MUST with 4 toddlers. PUKE, POOP, MILK, PEE, it all just wipes right off-so worth it!To the immediate left as you enter the GR is "THE PARKING SPOT" for all the riding toys. YES, we let our kids ride them all over this room like maniacs!
The ECHO will give you an instant headache if you aren't careful!I love our wood burning fireplace...MANY a S'MORE has been made here! ANOTHER VIEW.The view from the kitchen...One of my favorite items... Since my hubby is a pilot, we got these nifty "propeller" ceiling fans.
The blades go opposite ways when they are on-very COOL!I love our twig themed lighting from MENARD'S!I love the personalization of our fireplace with the "K" in the center.This cow skin rug came straight from BRAZIL..OFF EBAY :) LOVE IT!We found this clock out in one of the grain bins shortly after we moved here. My FIL can remember it being in use. Looks great on our mantel.This picture taken from the fireplace. You can see my command center in the background.
Behind the hanging star are 3 more rooms that we want to finish off one day into a loft.The name of the town we live in is actually HOME-yes its true. So anything with the word home on it, I snag up. This is one of my favorite signs. I get most all of my signs, home decor from either Gordman's or TJMAXX.The Captain and I give God all the glory for our beautiful home.
For none of this earthly stuff belongs to us anyway.
It is all truly HIS.
Thank you Lord for all you have provided for us.
Hope you enjoyed the TOUR!

MY Kitchen TOUR!

I'm joining KELLY doing this....
WeLcOmE 2 My KiTcHeN!

When we added on to our house in 2007-we added a 1600 square foot great room to include our living, kitchen and dining room. We figured with 7 kids-we need PLENTY of room for our grandkids so we just WENT BIG the first time we added on. We give ALL THE GLORY to God for providing our family with our addition.I would call my style MODERN RUSTIC CHIC-sounds good huh? Our non-bar seats 9 and our dining table seats 10. Our non-bar has matching rock to our fireplace.

One of my favorite decorations is a simple one from my SIL Aunt B. I'm not the craftiest gal.
The only thing I've changed about this jar is adding the banana.

YES, ALL THE FAKE FRUIT HAS BEEN CHEWED ON BY THE KIDS!I love my rustic branch-like light fixtures and my $25 Gordman's clock!This milk pitcher and antique scale were found here on the farm in one of our grain bins-LOVE IT!This mirror was used by The Captains uncle for shaving in the old wash house here on the farm. The egg gathering basket was also an "original" found here. I LOVE my double oven! With a large family and a simple kitchen, I can cook 2 things at once. This is my favorite appliance!

Notice the blue post-it over the digital clock?

This is for homeschooling purposes so we can learn how to tell time-the old fashioned-non cheatin way! We have a tile back splash. The smaller squares were left over from our bathroom so we added them in the kitchen to spice it up a bit!

My niece Courts POO sculpted this this set with her talented hands! I have been MORE THAN THRILLED with my UBA TUBA granite counter tops-they've had everything done to them by THE TRIBE and are still flawless!This here is the "ET E CUT" of our family!

I love it!

Especially the non use of utensils and the shirt inside out, backwards with tags dripping in the food!

Ya'all come back now, YA HEAR!
