"What I Love About My House" Blog Round-up

Janice at Canadian Cottage started it all, with her post about what she loves about her house.  She lives in a sweet older home, that she and her handy hubby are redoing, one piece of beadboard and one stroke of white paint at a time.  You can see here pretty dining room below.

I was inspired by her positive attitude and wrote this post about what I love about my own home.  It is so easy to be negative about all the projects that still need to be done around the house, that I thought it was a lovely exercise to focus on the things about my home that make me smile.

I know others around blogland have done posts on this topic now too, so I thought I would gather them together so we could all have a look.  I have to say, though, that I have a poor memory and a flighty brain so if I've forgotten anyone, then please let me know and maybe we can do another round-up next week.  Here are the wonderful posts in no particular order.

A Tranquil Townhouse
Kerry showed us some lovely boho collections around her house, as well as her John Denver autograph.  Kerry, who lives in Australia, has a keen eye for pretties, many of them from her extensive travels.

Pink Rose Cottage

Have a look at Michelle's pretty porch and the stunning views from it.  Don't you just want to settle in for a visit?  Michelle also showed us her adorable, cozy kitchen, and a bedroom that looks like it is in a tree house. 
 

Echoes of Laughter
Angie wrote about the lovely vignettes she has around the house, that combine treasures from her grandmother, mixed with her children's art, Amy Butler fabric, and pictures from her hometown in Nova Scotia - truly an inspiration.

Three Ring Cottage
Gina showed us around her new-but-looks-old cute house.  I did not know that you could find a porch with a built-in fan, but Gina has one.   Check out the rest of her post for more details about her sweet, homey, Texan house filled with vintage treasures.

All Our Fingers in the Pie
I appreciate Sarah joining in as she has only recently moved into her 'fixer-upper' house, so she didn't feel like there was a lot to show yet.  I can see, though, that the garden, the nearby park, the big windows, and especially the wonderful neighbours she lives beside, all helped her decide on her new home.  You can see, in the photo below, the note that she got from her neighbour when she moved into her new house - what a lovely welcome! 

Thanks everyone for joining in.  I loved that no matter where we live, or what style of house we have, everyone has included personal touches that truly make a house a home.
