Aunt Penny and Uncle Ron- Can I Move In???

My Hubby's Aunt and Uncle have the most gorgeous home, I could literally move in and not change a thing!  They so graciously let me and my kiddos stop by unannounced for a quick visit.  Mind you this was our first trip past the county line in 8 weeks since Dayton's surgery and we were a little stir crazy.  We were willing to knock on just about anyone's door at this point! 

Meet Uncle Ron and Aunt Penny

This is their family room, so cozy and comfy and white!!!

I remember seeing this shelf at their home over 10 years ago and asking her where she purchased it, I bought the same one! 

She purchased the old pie safe from a friend years ago who said it was always in his way! 

I love how the new kitchen looks like it has been here forever!  So clean and fresh, loved the white marble countertops!

She even grows her own tiny little rosemary topiaries!

Loving the dining room, there is nothing like an old home with cool windows and window seats! 

and built in cabinets!

and a grand staircase!

Her "summer version" of the formal living room, she has black and white ticking striped slipcovers for the winter. 

When their boys were small they used to say Good Night Good House so she had this painted on the mantel. Such a special memory!

The tall chair was hers from her teens, she asked her mom to buy it for her from a neighbor's garage sale! 

Sweet comfy spot in the family room

She had the cabinet made for the tv!

It has some great bookcases for displaying all of their summer treasures!  You know I am loving this!

Ahhhhhh......

They have the most charming little foyer, all wallpapered in toile.

And then there is the outside of their home, just as beautiful as the inside!

She has some major gardening skills!

This is the neighbor's barn, how perfect

Just look at her hydranges!  I was having major hydranges envy!

Oh and let's just throw a gorgeous pool into the mix why don't we?!!!

So beautiful!

They live in a super cool neighborhood, gorgeous victorian homes nearby, she picked this up at one of their garage sales, Uncle Ron said it took 3 men and a boy to carry it!!

Isn't it just charming?!!!

Love all of her flower boxes!

Before I left she cut a beautful bouquet of these for me to take home, she is so lucky, she can cut hydranges any time she wants!!!

I remember the first time I went to their home it was several years ago, and their house just had this charm about it.  I fell in love with it way back then.  Aunt Penny had my kind of style before it was even in style.  She has great taste, a flair for finding great bargains and unlike me, has a green thumb.  I asked if I could please share some photos with you, keep in mind that I caught them off guard and they were preparing to leave on vacation , she said if she knew we were coming she would have "fluffed" the place up a bit, I told her we would not judge!  They raised two sons in this gorgeous home, Aunt Penny and Uncle Ron are newly retired, wouldn't this be a wonderful home to retire to?!!! I love her shades of whites, grays and occasional pops of black toile.  She said she has loved toile forever!  Classics never go out of style!  And you know I love how she has seashells scattered everywhere!  I seriously could live here and be happy as a lark! 

Thanks Uncle Ron and Aunt Penny for letting me and the kiddos stop by, wish I had brought my good lens with me (next time!)
