Hometown Porches

Thank you Susan from A Southern Daydreamer for hosting another Outdoor Wednesday! One of the things I really treasure are old houses. When I see an old house that has been kept up and renovated I really appreciate the hard work that was put into it. Below are a few pictures I took while on a walk of pretty front porches from my town. As my friend Mary said..."Porches are unique as parlors and the people who furnish them." I hope you enjoy them. ~amy

Trellis Envy

Thank you Susan from A Southern Daydreamer for hosting another Outdoor Wednesday!

On walks through my town...I've been stalking this pretty trellis with this plant growing on it. Does any one know what type of plant this is? Is it a clematis? Is there a story behind this particular type of trellis that it's growing on? If anyone can give me any information on this...I would love to hear? I think it is so pretty. Planning for next spring already. Have a fun Outdoor Wednesday! Click on the picture for a much larger view.

Playing Kelly Pickler and Taylor Swift songs this week. We'll be seeing them perform this Saturday in a sold out concert. We're so excited here!!! ~amy

Lattice At Its Best

I don't know if you've noticed yet from reading my blog that I like home interiors and home exteriors. I don't know why but I always have and I've always favored homes built in the 1920's ~ 1960's. I thought I would work in the interior design field. I even went back to school for interior design in my late 30's and got a degree in it but because of multiple moves...I never worked professionally in the field. That could be an excuse but I'm still trying to figure that one out. Frequent relocation's have given me many opportunities to decorate our own homes and that has been fun! I'll get around to show you pictures of our present house someday. Below is a picture of a homes entrance way and door that I'm absolutely in enthralled with. This house is across the street from our church and I have been admiring it for years. Look at the lattice work. How sweet. I thought you might think it's charming also. Have a lovely day.

Pretty As A Picture

I was driving home yesterday after dropping my daughter off at the golf course and I spotted this picture perfect door and for once I had my camera handy. I was able to take a quick picture! A lot of thought was put into the design of the entrance of this home. Everything from the contrasting color of the door to the starry light fixture. The symmetrical planters are just beautiful. Don't you agree? You can't but love their little pooch sitting there so obediently with a basket in his mouth. I could only imagine how pretty the inside of this house is! Have a perfectly lovely day!!! ~amy

This Is My Town

Last evening I took a leisurely stroll through town and took some pictures. I had so much fun snapping pictures of spots that I admire and talking to old and new friends along the way. I'd like to show you some pieces from my town. ~amy
