Another of the front of the house, the part we never use. I don't even answer the front door!

I want to know how Julie keeps her house so clean with a 5 year old running around.... If I took a picture of my house, you would think a tornado hit it!

Great pictures everyone!

The cottage finally has a brand-new tin roof--totally completed. I'm delighted that it's finished. My carpenter has been nursing a sore back and has needed his nephew's help to get the tin up to the roof, etc., so it's taken since July to get the entire job done from ripping off the entire old tar-paper roof and plywood structure and even removing some of the bad (water-damaged) 2X4 rafters and replacing them.

Thanks, RG. You've hit on the exact reason why I bought the place this summer. Even though the cottages in this park are 100 years old or more and mine certainly needs TONS of work, I'm so happy to have a place of my own to retreat to with my kids when my husband is being difficult. I have so enjoyed being able to do fix-it projects on my own and to begin decorating it the way I want. So far I've stripped all the black paint off a wooden chair, removed the bedroom carpeting and linoleum in order to paint the floor, painted the entire bathroom (including floor), and painted most of the kitchen. The beauty of the lake and the quiet of the park are just amazing, and I look forward to next spring when I'll be able to hear the rain pattering on my new tin roof!!! :-)

kaili, your apartment is nice and clean! it looks pretty good sized too. i have no plants due to a certain feline lying next to me. cats make it dang near impossible to have plants. (at least that's the excuse i'm usin'! lol)

sia, your cottage is cute! your house looks nice too.

Ugh! I have too many plants! I love having them, but I hate watering them because it's really dry in here (especially in the winter) and they always want water!!!! Thanks though :-)

I wasn't sure where to put these, so I hope I'm in the right place! We've recently re-done our office/computer room and I wanted to show it off.

Here are some before pics:

We have a bit of touch up to do yet, as well as finish the hutch for the desk but otherwise it's done. Then we get to decorate and get new window treatments...my favorite part!

I love the nice rich color of the walls, Froggie, and your front porch looks so autumnal and festive.

Sia, your retreat is just lovely. It must be very special to have a place where you can rest and be yourself.

Thanks so much Vee! The color is called "Bayleaf" from the Eddie Bauer collection...I love it too! I'll have to post a few more pics once the room is completely decorated.
