If Walls Could Talk

So...I'm a little behind schedule in posting what has been happening in AR.  I was going to try and summarize the week in one post, but it's just not possible!  Look forward to many more posts in the next few days!

Day 1

I arrived around 9pm with my little sister.  Russell was still in Memphis waiting on phase 2 of moving trucks. I was really thankful Leslie came to stay with me!  Russell and I were so fortunate to have bought a house from a very sweet family. Walking into the empty house, I felt like the house missed it's family as much as the family missed it's house.  I know this house holds memories of lots of happy noise! I immediately promised it that we would fill it with lots of love, a new family and many visitors. 

You'll notice lots of light in these pics because I actually took these on the morning of Day 2 before the truck arrived!

I am now realizing I haven't actually taken a picture of the outside of the house!  Use your imagination- white siding, shaker shingles, black shutters and black front door.  Lots of trees :)

Here's the tour...

from the front door, take a right into the dining room

from the dining room, you walk through into the kitchen (that's Nermal in the corner.  He's the previous owners' cat who stayed with me for a week)

 

pantry

from the kitchen take a right and another right, it leads you to the laundry room and storage closet 

if you take a right then a left,  then its guest room.  Here's the closet

...guest room bathroom

guest room- I LOVE the windows in here!

 If you would've taken a left from the kitchen, you would've entered the living room...

fireplace, bookshelves, and door to the sun porch
