Guest Post - Ann from On Sutton Place

Posted by MAKMU ta On Monday, July 25, 2011 No comments

Today Ann from On Sutton Place is helping me out by doing a guest blog while I'm away.  I can't remember how Ann and I got emailing back and forth about blogging, but I do remember it was in the early days of Ann's blog.  You should hop on over to her lovely blog to have a peak into her lovely colourful home (with a recently renovated kitchen) and gorgeous garden.  Thanks so much Ann!

Hello to everyone...

Since Grace is in (of all places...) Bangladesh,
she asked for volunteers to guest post
on her blog to keep the home fires burning, so to speak.

She assigned topics...thank heavens.
Let's get started.

First: What is the oldest thing in your home?
This took some thinking...
I actually had to look around to figure this one out.
Here it is:
This is our guest room.
The furniture was purchased by my husband's grandparents
the year they were married which was 1914.
It's almost 100 years old.
I'd love to refinish it or paint it someday...








Next up is the favorite thing you have made or made-over?
This one was easy.
It's my fireplace.
I wrote about it here.
It went from a very ugly duckling to a lovely white swan.

Last...what is your favorite room in your home and why?
Like most women, I would have to say my kitchen.
It's the one room in our home that truly reflects me.
It's my domain.
I have spent countless hours here...
It's where my kids used to sit and talk to me.
It's where I start every day.


It recently underwent a small face-lift.
I wrote about it herehere and here...if you're interested.

This is my kitchen today.










I'm a relatively new blogger.
When my blog was very new I was lucky enough
to somehow meet Grace.
She was generous, patient and supportive.
It didn't surprise me when I found out about her trip.
I'm glad I could pay her back, at least a little, for all of the times she helped me.

My prayers are with her on this adventure.
May she return home safe and sound.
