Earlier I posted a long list of dream house wishes, so I thought I would share a few of my  favorite spots in our home. That way my house doesn’t get jealous, because I’m neglecting it with my silly dreams and wishes.

Our house was built in 1905, and we are on a block where most of the homes were built in the late 1870’s. I’ve heard that the original court house in town burned in 1905, and all of the original records were lost. Our house might be a bit older. Our house is also a work in progress, we have been painting and working on projects for about five years now. I have so many projects that I would love to accomplish, if I only had an extra eight hours every day.

I love our stairway, but I feel this insatiable urge to paint every square inch of it.

You see my desk is tucked under the stairway and I get to see all of these pretty little details, but I think they would just pop a bit if they were painted.

Also I grew up in a house with antiques, and we were not allowed to paint any woodwork. So there you go, rebel me must paint everything!

One more view from my desk. It is pretty, but it just needs a little something.

All over the house we have kitschy vintage doorknobs. Sometimes they acquire a little maintenance, but they are really cute.

We also have a a leaded glass door, and one large leaded glass window.

The window is really pretty when the tree has budded out in Springtime.

Throughout the downstairs living room and office there is really pretty crown molding.

Some I have painted…

Some I have not, but I really want to, as soon as I have the time.

So what are your favorite places in your house?
