Come On In!

Boomama is hosting a house tour today!  To play along, head over to her blog and leave your link.  I'm looking forward to spending the day peeking in your windows.  Okay, that didn't come out quite right--you know what I mean. 

Here are some shots of the Dryer house.  First, our front door...

Just inside the front door, this is our entry way.  We're actually having the walls painted beige and the trim painted white in the next few weeks, so it won't look like this much longer (that's my dog Ginger, at her front-door post, guarding us all from her evil nemesis, the Mail Carrier):

Next, our back patio, looking toward our back door...

This is my computer desk (in my kitchen/dining room) where I do all my bloggin'...

My kitchen/dining room (that's the "Mom-I'm-Bored" list taped to the cabinets...remember that?):

My favorite room in the whole house--my kids' bathroom.  I had to include two shots to get the whole thing in.  Those star-shaped hooks are towel hooks with each child's name painted on it; of course, I blurred out their names:

This whole Bloggy Tour Of Homes business is a bit outside of my private Hubs' comfort zone, so I'm not posting a full picture of my bedroom.  Instead, here's just my little corner of it.  And I realize this picture makes it look like we have a satin comforter, which would be a bit, um, EWW, so let me assure you that it is tasteful and conservative taffeta-ish material.

Our upstairs hallway.  All our bedrooms are off this hallway.  I'm posting a picture of it for posterity's sake, because it is usually littered with soccer balls, Transformers and Legos:

The kitchen table:

My oh-so-neat-and-organized sewing table:

In the interest of full disclosure, and to dispell any remaining myths that I might have my act togetter torgethe together, here is a picture of the floor of my closet in all its organized glory:

I'm not posting a picture of our living area, because it's undergoing a major (well, major for ME) redecorating, and I want to show you before-and-after pictures when it's all done.  I had hoped to have pictures for you of my finished master bathroom, but that would require that it be, um, finished.  It's not.  Soon, very soon...

Head on over to BooMama's and play along!

I hit "post" before I said this:

Your home is BEAUTIFUL. Exactly what I thought it would be.

[PastorMac's Ann]

The porch, the front door, the kitchen. Wow! What a beautiful home you have. So obvious a home and not just a house! Thanks for letting us be nosey.

So your kids have towel hooks, but you make them drip-dry? ;-)

[Mommy off the Record]

Your blogspace right in the kitchen? Now THAT'S convenient! I'm often forgetting to do something for dinner because I'm far away blogging my little heart out. Maybe one day I'll convert part of my pantry for a blogspace.

[Mrs Blythe]

Wow, what a gorgeous house you have Shannon. I love, what I could see, your bed it looks very regal. A bit like what we English see in the Old country houses that have a room set aside for royalty. Your house is just beautiful, how blessed you are :o)

[Janice]

your front porch and backyard are gorgeous. your whole home is so beautiful - you are blessed!!

[Mrs. Shannon H.]
