Home Tour: Little Corners

Thursday, January 10, 2013

After being stuck at home and mostly in bed for the past two days, I am really excited to get out and go back to work today! Once I was starting to feel better, I also started feeling a little stir crazy, so I took a short walk around a few of my favorite corners to give you a peek into some spots you might not have seen. I pretty much only take photos in the kitchen, so I included some shots from the sun room  dining area, and living room.

As you might know, I've been living at my parents' house for about eight months. A lot of people ask me why I'd move back in with my parents or ask me when I'm going to get my own place, and even though it's absolutely none of their business, I always tell them exactly what I'm about to tell you: I really love it.

It's been such a nice experience to be back home and see my parents and my dog every day; sometimes I look back on my time living downtown in Roanoke when they were just twenty minutes away and wonder what I was thinking! I know that having my own place was a good life experience and now I know that I hate living alone. So for now, this is working out just perfectly. I couldn't ask for better roommates, and when my brother comes home for the weekend or for the holidays, I get to hang out with him the whole time, too!

Take a look around! I hope you love it as much as I do.

 The photo wall above the piano in our sun room.

 I'm extremely unorganized--a book I haven't started and my blush, just hanging out on a coffee table.

 One of my favorite lamps and a palm from some Palm Sunday mass. They're tucked away everywhere.

 Rooster salt and pepper shakers on one of the shelves of the wine rack.

 This is where we keep the fancy glasses!

 More from the winerack: love this green candle, its coaster, and the Waterford bowl next to it.

 Such a sweet photo of my grandpa Albino and grandma Angelica on a side table in the living room.

Some essentials in the kitchen: pepper grinder, ramekin of kosher salt, mate, tea kettle.  

The fireplace and our big red coffee table in the living room.

What does your home look like?

  1. I love this. I'm with you. I wouldn't have any issue moving back with my parents because I actually enjoy it there. I live on my own at school so it's really nice to have people around on a consistent basis when I go back to visit. There's so many people I know that would never move back with their parents and I'm like, well it sounds good to me!

  3. I love living with my parents which a lot of people find strange! Most of the people I'm at University with really moan when they have to go home for the holidays, but I love it! Nothing quite like being surrounded by family all the time (:

  5. I had friends ask me, too, why I lived with my parents. My husband and I were in the process of moving back to the SML area. He was still working out west, but I was already back because he had to live on the work site and i couldn't live out there with him. It was really nice to have my parents around for the 6 months or so when Chris and I were trying to figure out our next move. I absolutely love my home with Chris, but there's nothing like going to my parent's home!

    1. It is so much easier sometimes to just stay with family, especially when you're in a transition period!

  8. I'm glad your feeling better! I just came down with a bug now too so my bed is my best friend right now like yours was. I love the wine glass cabinet and the picture of the fireplace. It all just looks so cozy. I know what you mean about living alone and being lonely. I currently live by myself and it can get a bit lonesome over here sometimes.

  10. My (parent's) house is decently large. A lot of black and white going on. Feels more like a bed and breakfast than a home - that's what my friends and I decided. Great place for hosting parties with a lot of wide open space, but I much prefer my house because it's cozy and feels like a home.... even if there are 5 flights of stairs in the house.

  14. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the fancy glasses! I have a super soft spot for fancy table stuff, it's not possible to have enough dishes and glassware. What is my home like? It's a place where everyone is welcome to stay a while.
