An Herbal Bedfellow to enter there. An Herbal Bedfellow is giving away a wonderful cookbook, and Thyme for Herbs is offering a 12-piece tea light candle set from Yankee Candle Company.

All you have to do here is leave a comment telling me what is your favorite room of my house and why.
The winner will be chosen by Random.org.
Please write something more than just "bedroom."
In case I am unable to contact the winner, I will then choose my favorite story.

Although I love the sitting room- I did not see where to sit although the wood is beautiful. I loved the comfortable feeling of the front porch- taking you back to a time where you felt welcome and it was ok to sit and watch the world pass by, even though back them much was not happening But my favorite of all is the front parlor- its comfortable and cozy and takes me to a time where I smile. It is beautiful and functional . Nice job.

I like the parlor........the stained glass is very nice.....but I love the front porch and then the entry.....the porch is light and airy and lovely....then you step inside and see the gorgeous stairway......impressive and gracious! It just invites you in!

I love the Breakfast, just my style, and just my color...blue. But I also love the Stain glass window up on the front gable (well I shall call it a gable anyway). You have a lovely home.

I like the room with the white wicker chair, drying rack, and the gardening lady on the wall...was this your mud room? It's too pretty to be a mud room! Anyway, it's bright and I like it the best!

The library, I like to read.

randio said...

What a beautiful home you have! I love the upstairs hallway & the lilac room & all the builtins. Older homes have so much character.

The library. Any place that has a library that looks this comforting and cozy full of books, has to be a great place to stay.

I love the library, because of all the built-in book shelves. Amazing

I love to read and I think that I would feel right at home in that beautiful library.

I liked the dining room. It reminded me of my grandmother's dining room where the whole family would gather for one of her huge homecooked meals. We'd sit for hours around the table talking, telling stories and laughing.

I really like the Parlor because of all the stained glass and the secretary too. I love blue flow dishes so this would be a welcome addition to my little collection.

My wife and I love the blue and white Country French breakfast room with the beautiful backyard view

Mary said...

I love them all! I guess I will pick the breakfast room. Everything about it was so inviting and restful and homey. I just want to sit there and stare out the window at the birds and flowers and anything else on view while I sip my tea. I can't think of anything profound to day...I just think it is a very beautiful room that I would probably find myself in a lot if I lived there.

i love the library. I keep trying to get my husband to allow me to convert a room to my library but no matter what I do he winds up taking over it. The libary is beautiful though.

We love to sit and rock on the front porch in the early evening hours.

front porch. i love being outside, sipping a lemonade

Unknown said...

If the porch is a room, I pick that -- and if it's too cold outside to sit there, I would scoot right in to the library.

I love the sitting room

Kari said...

The room I'm in right now. It's my craft and computer room. I have it decorated with all my favorite things, it's random - pics of my kids, pics my kids drew me, all my goodies like vintage lace, buttons and ephemera. I love it!

Kim (Randominities) said...

I love all the rooms I've seen. My favorite would have to be the bedroom. It looks so comfy and cozy. The furniture reminds me of the style of my grandmother-in-law's house. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I was a bit disappointed though that under 'bathroom' I didn't see any bathroom pics. I love looking at the older style bathrooms.

turboterp said...

The library is my favorite room because books are so important to my own happiness!

Thanks!

My favorite room in the house is the family room...it has a big comfy couch that I can snuggle on with my husband or children (and the cats are always there too) and watch tv or read or crossstitch, and I can see through the sliders out into the garden, and into the kitchen to smell wonderful things!

I love the breakfast room, it reminds me of my childhood at my Grandmother's house.

The living room is my favorite. The front of the house by the street is almost always my favorite room because of the view and the brightness from the windows. (I always buy homes with lots of light.)
