I Spy...Around My Home

Hey there!! I'm linking up to Little Miss Momma again this week for her I Spy series. This week's I Spy theme is "Around the Home". First let me tell you a little bit about my home.  It was built in 1919 and as far as I can figure it was "remodeled/updated" in the 1950s. There are a lot of archways (doors and built ins) and everything is lath & plaster. It has hardwood floors that need refinished and all the original woodwork has been painted over numerous times, which is a total bummer. I love my house though and I can't wait until I have every project done.

Whoa, the most ironic thing just happened. My mom called to wish me Happy Homeowner Anniversary. I have owned my house for five years today!! Crazy! I didn't even look at my calendar today so if she hadn't of called I would've forgot. Thanks for reminding me mom! :)

Without further adieu...

I spy my newly painted room.  I don't know what that weird blotch is on the right wall.  It's not there in person.  Hmmmmm. 

I spy my "spider killer".  See how big the spider is?!  The arrow is pointing at him.  Okay, so he looked much bigger in real life.  Ick!

  

I spy my china hutch that used to belong to my Great-Grandparents.  My Grandma gave me the Depression Glass dishes and those funky fish came from my best friend.  Ignore the dust!!  :)

I spy my favorite ceiling in the house.  It is in my old bedroom (Pacen's room now) and I miss it!! 

I spy the border in my living room that took me FOREVER to do.  I traced each letter onto the wall using that old transfer paper from the 80s and then painted each one in.  It says, "She sells seashells by the seashore." 

I spy the apron Pacen painted for me for Christmas a couple years ago.  Yes, it's a snake.  :)

I spy Mad Morty Kidd!  (For some reason this picture won't turn right side up even though it is right side up on my computer.)
