Inside Martin Manor - Family Room & Sun Room

I don't know if anyone else is obsessed with HGTV, or it's just me...but I love to watch how other people decorate and see how they live. It brings me inspiration and gives me so many ideas on how to arrange and decorate. Although, the hard part is going from what I envision in my head to how it actually looks in our home. Either way, I enjoy trying to make our home our own, using what we have, some new things, and mostly old things from our parents, grandparents, and Flea Markets. If I had all the money I needed to decorate exactly how I wanted, I would definitely choose some different furniture and accents, but here's a peek into the Manor...

I know you can all sleep so much better now, knowing where I sit and watch TV and maybe steal a nap if I'm lucky! I will share more of the Manor once the maid gets back from vacation and cleans the rest of the house! Stay tuned, you don't want to miss where the head chef makes all the gourmet meals! {Unfortunately, I'm kidding about the maid and gourmet meals! Unless grilled cheese is considered gourmet!}

  2. Love the pictures (especially the perky toes...hehehe!). So where did you get the Live, Laugh, Family signs? Are they letter you put together or do they come like that?

  4. OK, a disclaimer is needed {LOL!} our house is not always this 'picked up'! Most days the floor is littered with Polly Pockets, Littlest Pet Shop and the tiniest Barbie accessories you can imagine! But I took pictures, so I can see what the floor looks like once in awhile! Thanks for the sweet comments! {And the toes are not always painted, either!} :)

  7. Your house is gorgeous, love the sun room and the built ins in the family room. Very cozy and nice...from what I know of you so far I'd say it reflects alot of your personality.

    Oh by the way...the last pic is very cool. Love the tips of your feet in the picture.

  8. Do you take reservations? Because I'm planning on coming for awhile...your place looks so clean and inviting and calm and clutter-free. I love your style. Love the white rocking chair, the rich-looking coffee table, the live/laugh/family lettering and all the beautiful pillows...
    Okay, seriously now, do you take reservations?
