Casa de James

I’ve wanted to do an updated house tour for a while now and finally got around to snapping some pictures when the house was clean a few weekends ago.

I’m fairly certain it just spontaneously combusts into dirtiness again as soon as the broom is re-hung. I blame it on the dogs.

Let’s talk about house cleaning with dogs (and a husband for that matter) for a moment. I swear, I will have just swept and not two seconds later, there’s a black dog hair tumbleweed making its way across the wood floor. Or I’m absolutely certain that the moment I wipe down the cabinets, the dogs come inside and shake, sending mud and/or slobber all over the cabinets. And let’s not forget about the dishes that magically grow in the sink. For real, didn’t I just empty that heifer? Oh and how about that laundry basket. Why, oh why do clothes just tend to reproduce rapid fire-like? Sheesh. But, with all that said, I wouldn’t change a thing about having my pups (and husband) inside. Except for maybe hiring a maid…David – get on that would ya?

Onto the tour!

  2. I am new here (as of last week) and I wanted to say that your house is beautiful! I love the ladder with your scarfs and I have been looking for a storage solution for mine...I have way too many! I love it! Also, where did you get your toilet paper holder basket in the bathroom photo? It's perfect!

    1. Thank you Em!! It's amazing how much work we've put into a brand new house. But it's such a empty shell and took a lot to turn it into a home. Thanks for the sweet comment!
