Welcome to a tour of the 1929 House – our home!
We live in a 1929 bungalow. We are only the fifth owners of this house, which is the oldest house on our street in Decatur, Georgia.
To go to each room, click on the name of the room or on the photo. Welcome to our home!
A "recovering lawyer," I turned in my power suits for power tools and a life of DIY. I believe in merging old and new to make a house a home.
Love your house! Love it all! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you, Amy!
Just found your blog on Apartment Therapy. Your home is lovely! I’m enjoying your blog, too.
Thank you, Maureen! I’m so glad you came by! Welcome!
I really love what you’ve done to our old house. It’s so great to know it’s in the hands of a loving family! And you’ve made such good and creative use of all the cozy places in the home. Beautiful!
Thank you, Christine! Thank you for taking good care of it!!
I really love your stained glass door! It adds quite a bit of charm to your home. What a lucky find!
Thank you!!
Love your home Karen, it’s idyllic ….warm cozy , yet spacious….what goldilocks would deem “just right”!
Thank you, Mary!!
Karen, your home says comfort and welcome. Not all pretentious and don’t touch anything. It’s perfect! In your dining room is the bricked wall. Where does this come from or is there something my phone just won’t let me view? It is so perfect in there and warm. I hope everyone is well and happy and your furbabies are furtastic too! Blessings to all, Hope
Thank you, Hope. The brick in the dining room is actually an old chimney or support pillar. It goes all the way from the basement to the attic. You can find the whole post about the dining room here: https://www.dogsdonteatpizza.com/farmhouse-rustic-industrial-dining-room/ or you can see the pics before we moved in here: https://www.dogsdonteatpizza.com/fell-love-craftsman-husband-knows/. Blessings back to you, friend!
Great job! I am in Decatur as well and love all the old homes here!
Thank you, neighbor!!
