Where we stayed - House Tour (Jones & Co Family Vacation Part 10)

So for part of Family Vacay this year we stayed at C's parents place, which I must say is an incredibly lovely historical home.  It was much larger than we are used to staying in on family vacation - we all had our own rooms that never happens, although I must say I was not a fan of climbing 4 flights of stairs to my room every day especially when I was worn out and sun-crispy from the daily events, but I'm glad we were able to stay there and I'm so thankful it worked out - I was half terrified I might burn the place down with my straightener or something but crisis averted.  Thanks ever so much to C's family for allowing us to stay with you in your beautiful home - if your ever in Indy please feel free to stay at my house.
I swear I thought I took photos of the awesome door knob, backyard, bedrooms, and built-ins but all I can find are these random photos. 
From the outside you can tell it's a tiny cottage - you could fit 5 of them in my house (oh wait not)
This is what I think would be called the kitchen sunroom? We watched tv there while people were getting ready.
This is the formal living room.  I love the sofas and packed one in my suitcase to come home with me.
The actual sunroom - this was an addition to the original house (see what I mean about these crappy photos)
This is the candy stash apparently all small visitors know where this is.  I spied it right away - not sure what that says about me.
Oh this clock by the staircase I love how it chimed - grandfather clocks almost make me want to tell time the right way.
The dining room
And possibly my favorite room in the house - the library bathroom.  It's a teeny tiny water  closet but it's also a library - perfect.
One more post about family vacay and I'm done.

#48 To Jeanne's New House

This weekend I drove up past the giant Indiana windfarm to see Jeanne's new house which was #48 on my list.
Jeanne's house has a groovy rug.  The Safe Way is the Right Way - I'm guessing this is an old Safeway rug?
She also has the grooviest oven - granted I wouldn't trade my new one for this little beauty but isn't it cute?
Her stove is so retro too it's name is Leigh.  
I should have taken more snaps as Jeanne's house is littered in treasures I have made in all this little corners however like a goof I did not perhaps next time.   Thanks so much for having me I can't wait to come back.

Jones-Hershey Home Tour - 2010

I stayed with JJ and Chris for a few days when I was in DC recently. Seems I'm allergic to the kittens dander and or the kitty litter. But while I was there I was on the JJ and Chris home tour and I photographed it for you to see.  They live in Del Ray in this cute apartment building (next time you can get the JJ Point of Interest Tour II - Del Ray Edition). 
There back porch - they live on the top floor - note I did not photograph the steep steps.
A rubber ducky collection also lovely Fairy Soap in the bath room - such a nice touch boys.
I love love this tile isn't it so retro?
And the galley style kitchen.
Chris's magnet collection proudly displayed - I got Chris that super cool big boy one
Michigan rocks painting
JJ in the living room with Nelson - they have a stellar view of 711 people would kill for
Another view of the living room - there's JJ's books - I think the democrat pillow is such a nice touch

The guest room with a Union County Blanket
A super groovy moped their neighbor rides also good for a quick getaway.
Thanks and come again.
