You and your beloved have made it a reflection of your beautiful spirits and that is worth more than any mansion on earth. DH and I often do the same thing in our very built~up area, siteseeing the many lavish homes. But our home purchased in 1996 is the one we know was a blessing. That~~ and dh carried me over the threshold when we unlocked the door to move in. I could never trade that for more brick and stone anywhere. Thank you for sharing such a wpnderful post.<br />Blessings to you my friend.<br />XO Celestina MarieCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-80453402296034870672009-06-02T19:27:54.105-05:002009-06-02T19:27:54.105-05:00this world is not my home, i'm just a passin' thro...this world is not my home, i'm just a passin' through...<br /><br />Beck, this is a beautiful post.

Most days, I don't mind the "temporal" nature of my living quarters; but I do long for a place to call my own one day. My friend lives in a darling old farm house, updated and comfortable yet still with the charm of its beginning. I could live in something like that forever.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your lovely home and its transformation with us.

They all look too large and to me thay have a 'cold' feeling about them. Yours has a warm and cozy feeling. I love the colors that you chose for the outside. It looks so much better than it did when you first bought it. It is a very beautiful cottage.<br /><br />The house that I showed on my blog recently had a 'cold' feeling to me. I would have to do a lot to warm it up. They are asking $219,000.00. for it.<br /><br /><br />Hugs,<br />Lee LaurieA Southern Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474441937098224092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-62016622958161557302009-06-01T08:43:05.488-05:002009-06-01T08:43:05.488-05:00I love your home.

It just looks like someone as sweet as you lives there. I love that you love it so much. I think it is real contentment when we love where we live. When we no longer yearn for the greener grass, but are happy with our own little patch. I feel like a home is a living breathing thing ready to welcome us back no matter how long we have been away. There is no better feeling to me than when I pull into my driveway after being away. <br />Hugs,<br />JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283259375743586344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-32211706486258591492009-05-31T22:00:33.608-05:002009-05-31T22:00:33.608-05:00Your home looks lovely.

There is probably far more love & joy in your cottage mansion, than all the others you passed by today. <br /><br />What wonderful transitions you've made in this beautiful abode, Rebecca. These kinds of changes don't come with a prebuilt home purchase. Loving the bones & surrounding them in beauty is what adds to the character & love of a home.<br /><br />Every home we have purchased has been a constant 'work in progress'. I don't think I could ever own a home where it was all glossy plastic already done ... we create our warmth in our home with the changes that bring joy to us, adding beauty to the 'lady' as we go.<br /><br />TY for sharing your darling home, as she continues to accept the love you bring her.<br /><br />TTFN ~ Marydonblushing rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185573384597526789noreply@blogger.com
