Special Delivery

Tiffani's new bed arrived today. She chose one that had 2 bookshelves and 2 small drawers in the headboard, as well as 8 drawers around the bottom of the bed. It's a beautiful piece of furniture!







No Eiffel Tower on the wall here, but she has her other Paris pretties displayed.

Traci's Office & Tiffani's Studio

This room is just a beautiful space in which we can be creative...we couldn't have asked for anything better. Fragrant air flows from the open Den windows in the back of the house. We have gorgeous natural light all day long. And plenty of empty floor space allows us to maneuver easily around.

We love our old Lazy-Boy rocker. We bought it when I was pregnant with Tiffani and we've spent many cozy hours rocking in this chair...feeding, reading, bonding, comforting...it's a "perfect fit" for OUR room.


So thankful for all the built-in storage. We haven't even filled it up...yet!










Here's my office space...plenty of room for my desk, files and bookcases. I'm missing a shelf...Tiff needs it in her room for another couple weeks until she gets her new bedroom set.















A close-up look at Tiff's Studio space. Our big glass table is dwarfed in this room...it took up so much space at the last house. So glad it works well here...it's perfect for big projects...like the 1000-piece puzzles we enjoy so much!

is to create men who are capable of doing new things,
not simply of repeating what other generations have done -
men who are creative, inventive and discoverers.

Kitchen

I'm enjoying this kitchen already! Sink looking out to the backyard. Work space & storage close to sink and stove. A mighty dishwasher and double ovens. About half the size of my last kitchen, but a "perfectly designed" space...for me!

Lots of fabulous meals coming right up! I'm inspired. :-)

I love the lavendar wall!
Works perfectly with our neutrals, greens and plums.

THE Staircase...Tiffani's been talking about living in a "house with stairs" since she was a little girl! Here we are. She sees them as fun...I see them as exercise equipment. Hee hee!!
