Summer House Tour at The Happy Housie Front Porch

Our front door leads directly into a small entry hall… this year I had added some hits of pink.

And yellow. Yellow is always wonderful in the summer. It makes me feel cheery just to look at it.

From the entry hall you can turn left and head down the hall to the bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry room or you can turn left and go into the living room.

Now it’s your choice!

Do you want to come in and see the living and dining room first? 

Or head left down the long hallway and see the bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry room? 

head into the living and dining room

  1. Hi.. just fell into your blog. Gotta say, your house is gorgeous! Love how bright and clean everything looks. I especially love the pops of color everywhere. Your blog is my inspiration!!! Making me think of the oar I should have picked up at the thrift store last week but didn’t.. grrrrr

    1. Hi Christine! Thank you for your sweet comments! I definitely love pops of colour… and a good oar at the thrift store? Well, there is always next time!

  2. How beautiful!!!! I especially love the spindles on you wall gallery over the sofa, the bench on the front porch, the pew in the dining room, and all the high molding/wainscoting (not sure what to call it) adds so much charm. I need this in my home badly!! Great job!

  3. I absolutely love your home. It’s so cozy and colorful and I wonder how you thought up all the neat decorating ideas. I would love to come home to something like that, well actually I don’t work anymore and I have back problems limit what I can do so I guess I would be blessed to spend my whole day outside or relaxing inside. I can’t wait to read all the DIY’s later.

    1. Hello Jennifer- thanks! The blue in the entryway is called Colorado Gray – by Benjamin Moore. It is definitely a blue though- kind of a blue/teal/grey tone.

  4. Just took the tour…love the choice of color and the style…just lovely…. sparks the creative gene in me to get busy again in my home…

  5. Over from Beneath My Heart and all the Boy Mom posts. Such a pretty and cheery home. Question on your ensuite bathroom, what is the blue color please?

    1. Hi Lisa! So glad you came by:) The colour in the master bathroom is called “Ash Blue” by Benjamin Moore.

  6. Love your house! I have the same IKEA furniture as your living room and was wondering if you made the pillows for the backs of the chairs. I love that look and it gives them a nice look and extra color rather than just small pillows.
