 A long time ago while riding out in the countryside ran across this older style farm house and decided to buy it. Although it was in good shape over all we decided to call in the carpenters and other workers and some decorators for their help and opinions and see what we all could come up with in the way of changing it some what but at the same time retaining the overall looks of the house. This is what the main room looked like when we first got it but it was shades of blue so first thing to do was to put on a coat of a goldish tone for an overall idea of what it may look like later on.

The very first thing we did was to add on some bedrooms upstairs for all of the kids so that they could have their own domains and give us some peace at times as with a houseful of  young ones it sure can be noisy and then the animals all needed some place to hide from them from time to time as they can get over rambunctious while playing.

One of the guys suggested instead of a regular staircase that we utilize some of the logs from the many large trees that were on the property since they had to be cut down anyway to make room for a new driveway and make a pine pole staircase.Doing that would have held up construction as the logs would need time to be dried and peeled so traded them for some already cut and dried logs with a local logger and now we have a beautiful natural staircase and we decided to pick up the gold tones from in the woods and go with that for our color theme throughout the main room and flooring.

It was decided upon to use a stucco on some of the walls for eye appeal ( but found that it is hard to keep dusted) and some off white accents like on the new front door and cushions of the rattan furniture that we found at a local consignment shop and really got a good buy on.

Later on we will redo the dining room but think that the room that we have which is behind the dining room and is used for the kids playroom will stay the same for now until they have grown up a bit. Well better go and get the baby before there is no fur left on the poor dog and also get the new camera away from the other one.  So good bye for now  Sandy
