A few days ago I was hopping through blog land and came across one of those fun little quizzes. It was asking "what kind of flower are you?" So, being the curious type I am, I took the quiz. It turns out I'm a daffodil. I thought I might be a dandelion, you know a pesky weed that bunnies like, but nope... I'm a daffodil.
It seems that the daffodil represents me as having a "sunny disposition." I can see that. For the most part I'm a happy, silly person. So today while I was freezing, drinking my tea, and doing a ton of paperwork, I noticed how beautiful the sun was streaming into my house. I looked at how my walls were "sunny" and happy. Even though it is cold outside, it was warm and bright in my house like a summer day.
So here are a few pictures I thought I would share in case you need a little bit of sunshine in your day and a warm hug from a friend.
My living room.
My foyer with the display case that holds all my cream ware
from my friend Lyd.
A view from the kitchen. My house is very open. I'm claustrophobic
and wanted a big living area for everyone to hang out in.
My dining room (still need to make cushions for the chairs,
yeah,yeah, one day)
My kitchen. Love my white cabinets with the glass uppers.
I'll never forget my cabinet maker when I told him I wanted
all glass on top. He said, "shuuugg, are you sure you want that?
How will you hide your stuff?" Later he realized I'm a neat freak
and even the Glad ware is organized. hee,hee,hee
View into the kitchen.
Well, there ya go. A quick little tour of Rosewood Cottage.
I'll post some more photos of the house as soon as I finish some
sewing items.
Have a sunny, happy week.

Ohh Shell, your home truly is a sunny beautiful reflection of you! It's absolutely gorgeous and inviting. I love the openness too. I wish I could open up the wall between my kitchen and living area but there a fireplace on that wall and it's a loadbearing wall, plus the refrigerator and pantry are on the kitchen side of it. I do love your bookcases on either side of the fireplace too. I'm about to do that in my LR. Thanks for the tour, I love that I can now imagine you in your lovely home!
Hi Shell,

As one who lives in an 1800s partitioned house, I would love to take the sledgehammer to the walls...but, alas, I can only dream of that room plan of yours...so gorgeous!
Thanks for the peek!!

Shell, thanks for inviting us in. It certainly is a bright and sunny area and exactly like I imagine you. Hope I can find something so nice and open and airy and comfortable as yours.
I'm a echinacea, BTW. I forget what it means now, but it's a healing plant so I guess that's appropriate for a nurse, lol.

I too would love to move in...not sure I would know how to act with all that sparkly clean...but I could get use to it in a big hurry! Oh, its just stunning, each piece just added to its charm, I can tell you carefully think it out girl. its just BEAUTIFUL. I may have to visit it again when I need to clear my mind of all the piles I have to deal with each day.
What a lovely, comfortable-feeling home! We like your style!
Hi Shell! Just hoping to say Hi!. Your Valentine package will be on its way today...hope you like it!

Your home is just beautiful! -sigh-
I love seeing the look of nearly-all-white. But have never been able to try it. Since my husband loves woodworking and can't imagine painting over the natural color of wood. :-) He goes along with every other thing I want to try, so I really can't push him, on this. :-)
But I do love to see homes, which employ decorating with lots and lots of white.

Wow, you have a beautiful home! I stumbled across your blog and was taken by the bunnies, but then I looked down further and was amazed that this is your actual home! It looks like it should belong in a glossy magazine! Beautiful!
