House Photos

Hi everyone. While I'm still not finished "decorating", I'm sharing some photos that people keep asking for.

Not much to write about since "the world is pretty much on lockdown" due to the Corona Virus.

We did have a wonderful visit with good friends Cathy & Tom. We went out to lunch and showed them around the immediate area and we toured the models here. Just a super day spent with them. Fingers crossed that GL Homes might be in their future.

Still too early to know if our train trip in June/July will be canceled or if we can go. Likewise, the visit from Scott & Sonya. Hopefully, this will be over soon! Disney & Universal will return to normal as well as everything else.

Here are some photos of the house:

 entry hall

 I thought this would work above the entry table, but it did not play well with the butterfly/flower thing, so we put it on a different wall. So, will still need something to go over the table that works with the butterflies.

 I got this in Chefchaouen, Morocco

I got this batik on Komodo Island, Indonesia

the lady I bought the batik from at the market on Komodo Island

this is the material from the dress I wore as we walked amongst the roots of the Sacred Banyan Tree in Madagascar

Here I am wearing the dress - I liked it so much I asked if I could buy it

The 3 fabrics are wrapped around artist canvases. I really wanted to find a way to use them so they didn't just sit in a drawer.

 still need a chair and a few other things in here

not sure what I'm putting in this empty spot

 master bath (no photos of the shower or the commode room)

Here are some photos of the Sandhill Crane family & some other birds at a park. 

 The pair of Sandhills live down at the end of our pond in the Littoral area. These were taken from across the pond, so not too close. They did walk through our backyard the other day. (not time to grab a camera)

I still have some travel items to hang on the walls, but I haven't figured out what to put where yet. Once Greg is finished painting I will work on that. 

Well, I hope everyone is safe and healthy and soon life can get back to "nomal". 

Until next time......
