Real Life Spaces :: My Friend Char's Home {Part 1}

I have a delightfully fun and especially kind friend named Char.

She has a beautiful home that she's graciously allowed me to share with you.


She has one of those homes that you love peeking into the windows of 
at night while you're on a neighborhood walk!
Do you do that, too?
Please say you at least steal a glance into your neighbors homes at night
if the blinds or curtains are open!

This post today, Part 1, is her downstairs.

Part 2 (including her decor storage room!) will be the next post.

Welcome to Fountain Inn, SC, y'all!

Set a spell.

Take a load off.

Rest.

C'mon in!

Enter As Strangers ~ Leave As Friends

(and she means it...)

Hi, Char!

(These are her children with her.)

Come through her beautiful dining room.

I love the non-traditional centerpiece on her table!

Her Craigslist hutch holds her antique silver teapot collection.

Mint julep, anyone?

Char's mom is on this table.

Really.

See the box below?

After her mom's passing, she keeps her ashes near her picture.

I found this idea delightfully different!

Today, a brunch is set for us.

Chocolate Pecan Biscotti and Almond Kuchen.

Fresh fruit and cream.

Her breakfast room hutch.

I have this same exact fork and spoon set in my basement cafe'!

We both bought ours at different times at different Goodwills!

Other vignettes.

My next post will feature Char's upstairs.

She has a decor storage room and a workout room!

Stay tuned.

Thank you, Char.

Being with you is simply lovely.

The paint colors in her home are:
Downstairs color is called Applesauce Cake - Lowes Valspar. 
Dining room color is called Cinnamon Stick from Home Depot.
