A Stroll Thru Life!

Hi Everyone! I was invited to be a guest post at Marty's -A Stroll Thru Life- blog for her Show Off and Inspire Series. I was surprised and honored when she asked me if I would allow her to do a little house tour of my old colonial. I hope I don't disappoint! Marty has a wonderful blog and she has great guests frequently, so come on over and see Marty and Me at   A Stroll Thru Life!

See you there!

    I'm back, just in case you didn't read my comment at Marty's blog. Your home is GORGEOUS, Karolyn. I had seen the posts as the pool was installed and loved everything about it, but this Southerner loves a beautiful traditional home - charm personified…

      Now I am honored! I am so glad you liked it, it was nerve wracking because I know it is not everyones taste to go traditional but if you like it then I must be doing something right! Best, Karolyn

    I love your home! The detail is amazing. From the floor in the mud room, the moulding around your windows, your antique rugs, the list goes on and on...
    I love the natural elements too. Grass cloth rugs, leather foot stools, and one furry dog. The balance of blue with browns is perfection! I'm also a fan of your horse paintings. Big gentle giants that are so calming and commanding at the same time. I'd love to see your china and dishwater.
    That's one great home!

      I just saw your question about outdoor space, we have 2 pool houses one for sitting with 2 bathrooms and one for a Bar and storage, we are in process of redoing bar so I didnt bother shooting that. THanks again!

    Hi Karolyn. Your home is gorgeous and I really enjoyed the tour over at Marty's. Would love to see more photos of your kitchen, especially the area around your hood and cooktop. Do you happen to have a tour of your kitchen on your blog (I couldn't find one). We're getting ready to start a kitchen remodel and I'm really struggling to find a backsplash that I'm happy with that doesn't cost a small fortune! Thank you in advance.

      Hello Suzy , how nice of you! Its funny I never thought to do a tour of my house on my blog I guess because I am my worst critic! My kitchen is 14 years old, I was afriad everyone would think it wa dated but you made my day! If you would like I could take a few closer shots and send them to you. A nice simple glazed tile with tight grout lines is always classic for backsplash. I wish I did my grout tighter but again it was years ago so my taste has changed!
      Have a great weekend, Karolyn

    Oh I won't miss it, I have told you often enough how much I adore and love your home, and of course your style, your lush grasses really invite a yard picnic under that tree.
    See you over there!

    Thank you lady K of the manor for taking time to visit me and my latest :)
    It joys me to see your visits.
