Meant to mention that Tudors are some of my very favorite style of homes!!! Right up there with Victorians with turets!!

Thanks! Here's my house picture from winter 2004-05: it's a real early-american mish-mash because it was designed by a housewife in the 1920s, copying elements she liked from different styles. The arches, stucco and lack of overhangs on the front and back are tudor-style elements, other elements and the woodwork in the interior are largely craftsman, though it's vertical grain fir instead of oak.
On the left side of the picture, the three windows are in the Living Room, looking at the chimney you can see I have two small windows on either side of the fireplace in the LR too. On the right side is the sunroom -- the side of the house you can't see has two more sets of windows into the sunroom, and between the sunroom and LR are french doors, which I love but are a bit of a pain in the rear, because we use the SR as a family room at the moment and they get in the way. I'll have to take pictures of the interior when I have time to clean up a bit (after taking some more college tests that are due this week)!

Is Carson feeling better? Poor thing

My house is a work in progress. It seems so empty sometimes, But I wait till I see something I like. We have a farmhouse colonial with a wrap around porch. So I brought that in with a little romantic touch. Most of the walls are white. All the cabinets and furniture is in cherrywood. I have stenciled apple above the counter in the kitchen and have artificial ivy plants above all the kitchen cabinets, counter top is white but when I get a new kitchen in the future want to change that to a marble type dark green. My kitchen is open to the nook and living room. my nook is painted a blood red color I have white lace type sheers on the sort of bat type window with rose vines draping the top. The living room is top half white bottom half blood red I have a gas fireplace with a TV cabinet unit above which has the ivy above as well . The house has cream carpet throughout and cherry wood in the foyer hall, stairs and upstairs hall. I steciled rose vines on the face of every forth step. Our bedroom is white pou furniture is cherry the drapes are blood red above the headborad I have the mosquito netting hanging with rose vines also draping with a white bedspread and red throw pillows. The babies room is painted with clouds and has an angel theme. I found a mirrow that looked like a window and painted it and put hung it with a wooden flower box under, (hard finding angel decor. My ds room is blue My husband used netiing and putty to make a tree on the wall behind the bed and It runns up onto the ceiling so it's like he is sleeping under a tree. I was going to do tractors but I can't find anything I like.

That is one thing that I always said I HAD to have on the house I would buy to last my lifetime. I always wanted a wrap-around! I don't have one and it wouldn't go with the style of our house, so I won't have one. I always admire them on the houses that I see with them, though. <heavy sigh> I'd love to see pics of it!!!
