Spring Home Tour {at my parent’s}

March 26, 2012 ·

We are so blessed to live within twenty minutes of both my husband and my parents. We get to see them all very often and I love that at least for now our kids get to grow up seeing there grandparents several times a week! My parent’s built their house (the house I grew up in) and I love spending time there. It is such a beautiful home full of character. My mom is an avid gardener and keeps the inside and outside of the house fresh and inviting. I had a chance the other day to snap some shots of their home and my mom’s spring decorating.  I consolidated the photos into a collection of collages but there is quite a lot of eye candy.  Enjoy the tour!

    This is, hands down, the best Easter spread I've seen in blogland!! So many pretty things, but the cutest by far are the children! Thanks for sharing such precious photos.

    Thanks Jennifer! I think my kiddos are the cutest "decor" too! But, I'm biased. 😉 thanks for stopping by and I'll make sure to tell my mom you enjoyed the tour!

    Oh this is so gorgeous! Every picture makes me want to live there! One of these days, my house will look like that – yeah right 🙂 It is not hard to see where you come by your talents! Love the pics of your adorable babies too – how precious are they! Thanks for sharing your parents' home with use!

    Thanks Becky! It is quite an inviting home. I have always loved it there! I'll be sure to pass along the compliment! I definitely think I got my love of home decorating from my mom!
