Coco Paradise












I am not quite done with the windows yet.





























Notice the detail in the bathroom with the rope inlay in the cabinets, the handles and the pulls. These cabinets are "white washed" or pickled.

















I added a special picture of me falling in the bath trying to get a good angle.

Boys Bath





The bath is two mirror images of cabinet, sink, & Potty room. They have to share the shower (not at the same time). This cabinet stain is called "black washing". I went very "manly" in this room so the boys did not
have to suffer from the neutral tones in the rest of the house.






See the Z and the J?

Main Room/Office




Okay the main room of the house is kinda furnishings barren but I am working on it. YES - There is a fireman's pole. The kids love it and truth be told, most adults love it. Those who aren't too chicken to go down it.

The top deck is the kids "study"
The arch area under that is my office and the doorway bottom center is to my bedroom.

Kitchen





I would show you a picture of the pantry but I think I have had enough friends post pictures of their pantries. I have a Microwave DRAWER. I love it. I have that big shiney thing in the brick arch that I have been told you can cook more than box macaroni and cheese on it. I will have to try that some time.

MudRoom



This is the room you walk into from the garage. Everyone has a space designated for them but no one seems to care. The schedule and organization stuff is hung on the wall.

These pictures were taken from the door of the laundry room.

Saying Goodbye

It is silly but I see my garden out in front of our Steep Hollow House saying goodbye. Everything Pearl and I have planted is blooming for me. My spider lillies, my bleeding hearts, my wild hybiscus and even a rose bush my kids gave me for mother's day one year are displaying color. David had set up a sprinkler system in the garden with a timer so it wouldn't die when we went out of town. Only a week left before we have to be of here. I don't have time to dig up anything and take it with me but I am sure I can find very special things for the new house too.
