Kathy rides around the neighborhood with her grandson Kyler and all her dogs in this golf cart.

 If you visit Kathy you'll get a ride.

It's FUN! 

She's also a 'Pet Setter' ...

taking care of the neighbors pets when they're out of town.

Master Bedroom~

I have just a ((few)) photos of the master bedroom...

Why?

I have no idea.

I guess I 'thought' I would come back in this room and finish.

I never did.

This is what I have.

Pretty bed and bedding...

I remember when Kathy and I hung those plates.

FUNFUNFUN!

Kathy and Pete watch Movies/TV and read here...

Master bathroom~

 

Kathy and Pete's master bathroom...

The 'red' part of the walls are embossed/anaglypta wallpaper. Kathy and I have 'a thing' for this type of textured wallpaper.

It's also in Kathy's kitchen.

This is a photo of Kathy's kitchen embossed/anaglypta wallpaper....

.....I have that same paper in my dining room.

And on the 'ceiling' in our living room.
 
 

Wall of mirrors...

 Necessities...

As you might has guessed.

~Hall half bath/powder room~

 

This is the hall half bath/powder room.

....a nice place to 'freshen up'

 Pete installed the sink in this pretty antique dresser...

Sunroom ~ Dog Trot Hall...

  
 

View from A ROOM OF HER OWN...

We love sitting in this sunroom chatting with Kathy's bird....
 

and looking out through the pretty windows.

Love all the old stained glass.
 
  
 

There's a different piece in every window!

 

Here's Kathy's bird. 

The original owner named 'him/her' Harry. Kathy had her vet do a 'blood test' on the 'bird'...it's a GIRL. 

Harryetta.

She's been living with Kathy and Pete for YEARS...

...and talks and laughs EXACTLY like they do.

Harryetta barks like the dogs, rings like the telephone, and whistles. She has also pick up the sound from the key fob when they lock/unlock their cars.
 
  

Pete taught Harryetta to say...

GO HOME TINA.

LOL!

The outside 'aviary'...

There are 2 Parakeets, 8 adult Love Birds and 2 baby Love Birds living in there...

Yes, Kathy LOVES BIRDS!

We call this the dog trot hall.

Living room, w/hall, two bedrooms, one bathroom, sunroom on left.

Old antique dresser Kathy painted. The top was found at an antique shop. Kathy painted it like the dresser and sit it on top.

Love the way it looks!

It's in the hall.

Old clock collection...

OK, this is really cool...

Kathy had this piece made to 'display' her collection of 'Department 56'
 

It's really pretty when they have their lights on...
 

This is "Elvis" Department 56...

It's exactly how they decorate his home.

This collection is 'retired' now. Kathy bought it 8 years ago.

Hall paint color is 'Twine' by Martha Stewart/Kmart.

Tiny Bedroom~ A ROOM OF HER OWN.

See that door?

...That's the tiny bedroom.

It's a little bedroom right off the sunroom.

The bedroom Mika sleeps in when we 'visit'...

Mika LOVES it cause when you close that door, it's DARK!

There's one of those cute 'night stands' ...

I need one of those!

KATHY!!

Update:

The night stand is a wooden frame of a vintage laundry cart. Kathy found two of them antique shopping. Kathy put the galvanized tub on it and had glass cut to fit.

LOVE the vintage iron bed...

.....and sweet bedding.

Kathy...

I also LOVE REDWORK!

GOOD NIGHT.

Kathy is ((very)) sentimental
 
 

Our cousin Ronnie gave Kathy this beautiful antique dresser. It belonged to his Mother, our Aunt Edna. I wish I had a better photo of it. My full length photo of it was blurry, DARN! = (

That good old chippy green shutter belonged to Ronnie's Dad, our Uncle Obie. Mother's brother....

Look's great hanging on the wall!

Thanks Ronnie for sharing with Kathy...
