More House Tour

April 28, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Gooooodddd morning! another work week is close to being over. You can make it! Speaking of working, I have some more house photos to share with you all. I still have to do photos of our extra bedrooms and a couple other places that still aren’t clean or unpacked, but this should hold you over for now!

This is where I blog and work from! My desk is in the bonus room which we made huge on purpose. I love that I decided to face my desk this way. I can see the TV and look out the windows! Yes, I have two computers. Is it necessary? No. But I like it. Ignore the mess. Paperwork attacks me most days, and I try to keep it as minimal as possible.

I think I need a new battery in my clock.

Bobby’s side is not near as messy as mine. he broke the chair so he is sitting on a folding one for now.

The other side of the room. my desk is in the bottom left area of the room according to this picture, just to give you an idea.

I can’t remember if I showed the upstairs guest bathroom…So here it is again! We wanted to put a door on the bonus room so it could be a “4th bedroom” for resale purposes, so we added in a 3rd bathroom as well since the only other bathroom upstairs is the master. This is right outside the bonus room door.

This is standing in the bonus room doorway looking down the hall. Our bedroom is the door on the left. Stairs are at the end of the hall. overlook into living room is on the right past the windows.

looking down into living room….and Bobby’s clean socks he forgot to take upstairs.

I know I have posted the dining room before, but we added the leaf in the table so now it’s bigger!

I spy Heather

looking down the other hallway where the other 2 bedrooms, laundry room, guest bathroom, back door, and garage are.

and looking back towards the front door. I guess I could have turned some lights on?

at the end of the hall looking towards the backdoor. If you walk into that little area the guest bathroom is on the left. garage door is the solid door you see, laundry room is on the right.

That’s all for now!

*Anyone notice the large amount of puppies in these pics?

 In case you missed my other house picture posts, here is a list for you!

    Where did you get the futon sofa in the bonus room? I need something like that for our upstairs loft/workout room.

    So cute!! Love your home. 🙂

    I’d much rather have rain than snow… at least that way it’s not as cold. I am so not a fan of the cold, haha!

    I love seeing pictures of your house! It must be fun (but also stressful) to have a new house and feel like there are endless projects to do, but it sounds like you’re doing really well with it and really like your new place, so that’s great! Love the dogs in the pictures 🙂

    So pretty! I love how open your house is!

    Umm for the QOTD, neither? It once poured for 10 days straight once and I didn’t belong to a gym so I didn’t workout. It was miserable!

    Your house is so beautiful! I love it, and you did a great job with the design:) Hmm…tough question between the rain or snow. I like warmer weather, so in that regard i’d like rain. However, in the spring we get a lot of 35-45 degree days with rain, and that rain is SO cold and almost impossible to warm up from. in that case I’d take the snow…

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️
