Baby Belles - Brooksville, FL

They may not be as grand,

but I think they're every bit as special...

Which home tugs at your heart strings?

Southern Belles - Brooksville, FL

A few of the older,

 and stunningly beautiful,

homes found in Brooksville, FL:

I can almost see shadows of a different era when I look at these.

Wow. Gorgeous.

Popped in to take a quick gander through Rate My Space when what did I spy with my little eye? A gorgeous foyer! Needed to share it with you. The light fixture is fantastic:

Here's the link to the rest of the photos of this foyer.

I'm back again to share another. I think I'll turn this thread into a gallery of some of my favorite rooms decorated by some very talented home owners.

Look at this living room:

And the link is here.

Sooooo pleasing to the eye. Crisp, clean, just enough contrast to give it interest. I like it a lot. Unfortunately I do not have the commitment required for a room like this. My tastes vary so greatly, and I've always got stuff bought for me, or made for me, by the kids that I need to display. So unless I could convince them to only paint or color in neutrals....lol, can you see how this would be difficult for me? I do have to admit to having spray painted several of my chickens (okay, so they're roosters, I call them chickens) given to me over the years. I think I'm up to 22 in my kitchen right now and to have them all contrasting in bright clashing shades would overwhelm the eye. But, they're gifts, and I want to keep them, so I make them work. A bit of chocolate brown, off white, silver, and olive green spray paint, and viola! A cohesive look. And I have left a few of them in their original colors as well. I'll take pics soon and post. Promise.

I'll be back if anything else catches my eye on my travels through Rate My Space :). I'm back. And I'm in shock. And awe. I'm a huge fan of "mariaferlo" on there, and lo and behold she has a blog! And a website. Hence the shock AND the awe. I'm so excited, and I rushed to share it with you. Haven't even done more than a quick glance through yet so no comments. Here ya go:

I need more hours in a day, and I need'm now.

Snew has a game tonight, and her littlest yet biggest fan Li will be in the stands hollering and clapping along side me! Yay!

If you happen to be in the Spring Hill area, come on by the game!

I'm a total stalker!

I am having waaaayyyy too much fun on the Real Estalker blog. I've got a link to it on my blog list. Proceed with caution, you will become addicted!

Basically, the wonderful "your Mama" allows us to peer into various celebrities' and millionaires' homes, and gives us a whole lotta info on 'em to boot. Whether they're on the market, recently purchased or sold, we get to take a gander at what gives. I cannot get enough.

Some of them have the most beautiful homes...other's not so much, lol!

Here's one that'll knock your socks off (I say that a lot, don't I? Geez, I'm a dork!):
