I'm Going to Carolina in My Mind

This is my house!  I love it...if you couldn't tell :)

Here it is!  Pictures of my new place!  It was so much fun to take pictures of all my favorite things about this house...then again, it is fun to have my own house.  The order I put them in is exactly the same order that I show people the house.  So you can have a legitimate Molly tour.  Enjoy!  I know I do :)

It's pink...which, if you know anything about me, you will know I think this is AWESOME!

This is a Magnolia tree.  It is quite possibly the best thing in the south...not including Chick-Fil-A.  I walk under this every morning to get in my car to go to school.

Our front porch.  I want to get a porch swing eventually.

When the wind hits this chime I get so calm.  Add Norah Jones and an orange creamsaver to that and I can get through anything.

It finally has a place after years and years in a box.  It is so nice to have my stuff around!

My nifty mail slot...that they don't use anymore.  

This is the view out the window of our front door.  I think it is beautiful.

New rug.

Rickety barn/shed in the back.  We don't keep fragile things in there...lets just say that.

Awesome detail in the hallway!

Right after we moved in, my room mate Dana walked into the bathroom, took a look around and told me we had the girliest  house ever...I agree.

Fun window in the shower.

MY BAKING NOOK!!!!!  I can't figure out why I ever used this dresser for clothes.  Notice the cool vintage apron Caleb got me for Christmas.

Cook books and Geese measuring cups....And pyrex (of course).

My very own dishes...in my very own cupboard :)

New silverware and awesome new rolling pin.

A drawer just for my spatulas, spoons, and measuring spoons.

I love these wood floors.

A door knob that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and Great Grandpa and Grandma's house.  

What my room looks like as a whole.

My bed.

 

My new grown up bed spread.  It is like I am sleeping in a field of flowers every night.  I LOVE it!

My awesome green chair that Melissa got me for a housewarming gift.  I had literally been thinking that I wanted a green velvety chair for my room...and there it was!

Georgiana thinks this is a good reading chair :)

Jude and Google agree.  They also like my pink indian blanket I got at a Pow Wow with my Uncle Aaron, Mom, and brother when I was little.

The view from my chair.  It's amazing how putting your own books on your book shelf can make you feel so at home all of a sudden.

My new dresser...to replace the one from the kitchen.  It fits perfectly in it's own little niche in the wall.

Souvenirs from Spain, my jewelry treasure chest, and a special shaker Isaac gave to me a long time ago.

Special notes from my parents!

Another view of my room.

The original closets of the house.  I use this one for blankets.

This one is solely devoted to holding my...

Skrits and Shoes :)

My other closet.

Organization for makeup and hair stuff.

Another new rug.

 There it is.  Sorry it took so long.  I wanted everything to be set up before I showed the world.  I would say that I am doing quite well in my own place.  It is a retreat, and a wonderful place to come home to after a long day in the studio.  We have nice neighbors.  Neighbor Jim is kind of a hippy, he spaces out a little bit, but he gave us tomatoes from his garden and I think he keeps an eye out for us.  Neighbor Theresa has a little baby and mows her grass religiously every Saturday morning.  She also has a couple dogs (Dana thinks the chihuahua is cute...but I think we all know that is nearly impossible).  There are neighbors to the right of us (I can't remember their names) and they are nice as well.  He listens to the Jackson Five a lot...really loudly.  The neighborhood is on the National Registry of Historic Places, which is so cool.  Dana has two rabbits...cutest things ever!  Poor bunnies though, I tease them about their ears and call them Bunny Bunny and Fluffy Bunny, even though their names are really Max and Beatrix.  I can't think of anything else at the moment.  Anyway.... if you come and visit me, you can see it for yourselves!  I hope you do!
