Room Reveal: Den

Hello, dear friends.  I am still snowbound and it is a balmy 16 degrees here.  I have yet to hear the sound of a snow plow this morning.  I called our own plow guy and his recording referred me to a forwarding number.  Not a good sign. 

 He's probably on vacation.

The only one who really enjoys the snow around here is Chowdah.  His favorite activity is taking Chili's most treasured squeaky toy outside and burying it in the snow.  Chili lost her sense of humor when the first flake hit the ground.



Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!



Chow forgets where he buries Chili's treasures, so she has to help him find them. 



Mom, please tell him to stop taking my stuff!!
Reminds me of the old days, when my girls were home.




When I added a few pics on my Massachusetts Home Tour, I realized that I had forgotten to do a post on my den.  So since I've had plenty of time on my hands the past couple of days, I decided to write one.


These are photos of the den when the previous owners lived in the house.




We painted the room a darker color.


The glass door leads to the sunroom.




The room previously had dark stained woodwork.  We decided to lighten it up by painting it white.








I picked this pillow up in a consignment shop in Texas.






When we had the bookcases painted white, we also had doors made for them.  Cuts down on the dusting.  Who wants to burn precious calories dusting when you could be laying on the couch watching Real Housewives?!














Hope your hump day goes smoothly!

The Hamptons Show House - Take 1

Hello dear friends!  I know I say this every week, but I can't believe it's Friday all ready.  I am separating the show house tour into three separate posts.  I have so many pics that I want to share with you and it would take forever to download my blog if I put it all into one post.  If you missed my first post about my day of shopping and dining, you can find it here.

I was so excited to go to this, I had butterflies in my tummy when we drove up to the house.  I played it cool in front of the other ladies, though.



Sothebys

If you like what you see, it is for sale for $5,795,000.  Tell them I sent you - maybe they'll give me commission.







Miss M told me that her daughter bought a sailboat just like this one at the Christmas Tree Shop.






From the moment you enter... you sense the beach side theme.



A large light and bright front hall.




The wall covering was grasscloth.  Being the show house nut aficionado that I am, grasscloth has become very popular.  My parents used to have it in their guest room a hundred years ago.






I know someone that would love that princess bed.











This is the living room off of the kitchen.  I didn't get a lot of pics of this room because the lady in charge kept giving me stern looks, even though photos were allowed.  She reminded me of Sister Sheehan on a bad day.


Dude enjoying the comfort of the den. 












The ladies debating whether they like a large sectional or not.







A man cave den off the other den.  




Next time the Mister runs to town, I'm going to tell him to pick up a kayak. I won't tell him what it's for...


I loved the mud room.  The jury was still out with the ladies.





"When you pick up the kayak, Mister, bring home a couple of beach chairs too."

Stay tuned for Take 2 on the show house.  Have a wonderful weekend.  So, what do you think of the house so far? 

Until next time...
