Home Tour

Hi…I’m Shirley with Housepitality Designs…and WELCOME TO MY HOME!!!

A view of the back (in the winter…I love the snow on the ground)…

As you can see, we have many sets of french doors that overlook the back yard…

With the exception of a few bathrooms, and the bonus room, all the rooms have a view of the back yard.

So come in and make yourself at home…

Starting off with the living room area…..

As you will quickly see, the main floor is really one large room…We wanted that casual, great room feel.

So now, we move into the dining room…It is a casual room…unlike many dining rooms, it faces the back of the house.
The best part is that we use is every day…unlike our former dining rooms in which the chairs “were warm” only a
few times a year!

And now we move on to the kitchen….

The cabinetry is Cherry….We had “discussions” back and forth as to the style and color of the kitchen…
We had many cherry and mahogany pieces, so it was best to go with the cherry…(or so I thought at the time)….
But at least I sneaked in the farmhouse sink!!!

And then there is the pantry..It originally was slated for just a room with a door and shelving…but I had the
builder re-work it into a butler’s pantry with plenty of storage behind cabinetry….

Where was that wide angle lens when I needed one!…

And now moving on to the keeping/sunroom…

The windows in this room were not covered originally…our view was trees all around…a true sunroom…
Then the house went up next door…so I decided to place curtains half way up..so I do not subject my nice neighbors..
……to me in PJ’s….

When I saw this wicker at the High Point showroom, I fell in love with the color…(mfgr is Lane Venture)

And now..down the hallway..we go toward the laundry room and the powder room…and beyond the door is the entry to
the garage…

Now, have you had your second cup of coffee yet…you may want to grab another as this post is heavy on the photos!!

I wanted the cherry cabinetry to flow through the main floor for consistency….Oh..are those “orbs” in the lower
left hand corner?…wooooo

And then across the hall…the teeny powder room…that is on my list for a facelift! No Botox…

I’m really needing that wide angle lens…hope “honey” is reading this!

Now we move on to the Master Bedroom…my builder loves making the ceilings very interesting…

The walls will soon be painted with SW Silvermist..the same as the master bathroom…haven’t made it in there yet!

Now we shall move on down the little hall to the Master Bath…

So now..I am going to take you to the other floor….and hope that I have not lost your attention….
As I said, this is definitely a two cups of coffee (or tea) post….

So now we shall enter the main guest room…
Oh by the way, all the bedding in all 3 bedrooms are by Pottery Barn…and some custom made pillows…

I recently hung the iron gate on the wall…there are still more “wall projects” to come…

And more painting projects too…

I love that I am able to place chairs in most of my bathrooms….a garden whirlpool tub is in this bathroom…
….for our guests to enjoy! Comes in handy after a long day of softball games!

So down the hall to the media room we go….

This is a great room for movies and enjoying company of others…

The saying over the doors are there all year round…a request from our Granddaughter!

A little kitchenette comes in very handy…

So let’s move down the hall…towards the second guest/little (and I mean little) craft space….

And here is my little craft space…hopefully soon there will be some new units there for crafting…

Another bathroom for guests…no windows here..so light not great….

A very large shower and toilet area beyond the door….

And here is a “glimse” of my hubby’s office…we utilized the 4th bedroom for it….he was in there working…shhhh….
He also has a great view when working….

Now, last but not least there is one more room to show you for today….whew…you probably thought this would never end!
