Welcome to the Harshman Home
...a fellow blogger is organizing a "Tour of Homes". the blog phenomenon is an ironic concept--we write personal stories about ourselves assuming that our friends, family and anonymous readers will be interested in what we (or even our kids!) have to say and at the same time we, as readers, do enjoy getting a chance to peak into each others lives, hearts and homes. most of my blogging family and friends spend little to no time hanging out at our house, so i thought you might enjoy a tour...
family heritage room. the pictures on the wall, old and new, are of both sides of our families. the table, buffet and grand father clock were given to us by my husband's grand parents. the table, buffet and mirror were manufactured in 1943 (the chairs were a more recent addition). we found a plaque inside the clock that dates it back to january 10,1974-it was a birthday gift from grandma johnson to grandpa johnson. when the grand father clock chimes, the beautiful sound can be heard throughout our home and it is a reminder of our family heritage.
school room--or as my two year old says, "cool room". we have a lot of fun learning together here (the chalkboards on the map wall are a favorite!). this room is oversized and has a big three door closet that is organized with all our school supplies. this year is all planned out and we are ready to start school days on august 7th!
ella's ladybug room. last spring when we moved to prescott valley, ella was 1 year old. one of the first things we noticed about living here was the crazy amount of ladybugs! she loved to explore all the bugs with her brothers but she was very intrigued by catching ladybugs. it was the obvious choice when decorating her room in our new house. by the time she had turned two, she let me know that she wanted a "pink" room! my sneaky little girl is posing in this picture!
boy's army quarters. this room is unusually clean--the boys do make their beds but i should have taken this picture when it is filled with hundreds of army action figures, tanks and helicopters! my favorite and very best ($20) ebay find is the world war I army trunk found at the foot of the bed. on the inside of the trunk is a yellowed paper with typed (on a good old fashioned type writer!) instructions of how to pack your trunk. the army green "night stand" between the boys' beds is actually spray painted lockers that my dad bought from the high school both andrew and i attended.
the master bedroom. what you can't see in this picture is the reading corner, complete with oversized black shaggy lovesac and hanging light. black and white photos still to be hung above the bed someday soon! some great naps take place here.
the media room. this oversized room has french doors with orange velvet curtains and a projector screen on the wall. we designed it to look like a theater but it is definitely multi-use. we have a pull out couch for our guests, office with desk & computer, x-box games, and last but not least we love watching movies together here.
the kitchen and living room. the last two pictures are where we hang out by the fireplace and entertain our guests by sharing a meal. i love to cook and have made good use of the double oven and cook top stove.
come on over for dinner and a movie anytime!
