Wednesday again ... and so it's time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge at From This Side of the Pond. Joyce writes the questions, bloggers provide the answers! Here we go ...
1. What's your favorite room in your house and why?
I think that would have to be our living room. Some years ago we covered the old wallpaper and ceiling tiles with beautiful wide pine boards (sawed by my husband) and have never looked back. Yes, the room is wrapped in pine. We love it and would like to do more rooms the same way. We also have a family photo wall in this room that always brings a smile. Below are several shots of our living room that show the pine boards.

2. What's something that will instantly annoy you?
We probably will be celebrating as we are eating a lot of hamburgers these days. Usually without a bun. I might add lettuce, tomato and mayo to it. Occasionally cheese or some dill pickle slices. We don't have one specific place to go for a burger. Some local diners, some casual seasonal eateries like this one: The Little Red Schoolhouse, which recently opened for the summer. The restaurant part is essentially a tree house:
I have never worked in a fast food restaurant.
4. What are three scents you like?
Lilac, orange, and lily of the valley.
5. What do you miss most about being a kid?
Having less responsibility.

6. Insert your own random thought here.
We had a lovely day with friends on Monday -- met for breakfast downtown, then went to our camp for the remainder of the day and enjoyed a late lunch, joined by our family from next door. Just a nice relaxing time at the cottage, and a perfect day for it too. (Photo is from several years ago.)
And that's the Hodgepodge for this week!
Oh, I loved everything about this post today! I love your pine-wrapped living room! It looks so cozy and homey and cabin-ish, which is the look I'd love to have. I've been wanting to do a "feature wall" of tongue & groove pine boards in our living room to give it more of a rustic cabin feel. Maybe some day when I have some extra money to spend. LOL. (like THAT will ever happen! LOL) Oh, I love the look of that restaurant, the Little Red Schoolhouse that looks more like a treehouse! I would LOVE that. We had hamburgers on Sunday with our kids. Our son grilled them for us, and they were so good. I'm not a huge hamburger fan, but when they are grilled outdoors I can't resist them, especially dressed up like you described. Oh, those beautiful fields of your youth...so pretty. And then to see that picture at your little camp, with the firepit blazing and the Adirondack chairs gathered for friends and family to unite around the fire, and the grandchild playing and the bicycle in the background...Perfect summer scene for where you live! Sadly it's too hot here in the summer to do that, but that would be a lovely fall scene. I enjoyed every bit of your post today. Thank you so much. I've been a bit remiss in keeping up lately, but I'm trying...
ReplyDeleteI'd like my hamburger served in a treehouse. What a cute spot! I try hard not to let little things annoy me but it's definitely a work in progress : ) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe pine in your living room looks fab.
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant that is a tree house looks so cool. What a fun place to eat.
What a great space. Seasonal eateries are fun. I love lily of the valley too. It reminds me of my grandma. Days with friends are the best.
