I’m so happy and excited to be participating in Gina’s Summer tour of Homes this year. She’s the brainstorm behind this fun event and 26 bloggers will be sharing their homes with blogland, all this week. If you’ve missed them, you can see the list of bloggers here, so be sure and go back and catch up.

If you are coming over from Brittany at Pretty Handy Girl, WELCOME! I’m so glad you stopped by.

I’m so dang excited that I have a home that I can put in a tour this year. After 6 months of renovations, it all paid off and now I’m enjoying my cute home, sweet home….for sure!

Come on in and take a look around.

If you are new to my blog, WELCOME!  I’m so glad you are here.  A little about me.  I bought a 1979 fixer upper house in April of 2012 and my dad and I spent 6 months renovating it.  Move in was October 2012 and I’ve spent the last 6 months putting all my rooms together.  I’m almost there with most of them and right now am working on my screened porch. Hope you enjoy the tour and please come back again!

For a complete look back at all the posts in my House Renovation, you can find every single thing we have done to this house. You won’t believe the BEFORE pics!

Coming in the foyer, the back of my front door is painted Annie Sloan Florence.

We added new pine stair treads and new risers and I finished off my painted stairs with a runner from Dash and Albert.  This is one of my fave projects in my renovated house.

Thank you ALL so much for stopping by! I’m so happy to meet you and hope you’ll come back again.  I love home decor and making rooms beautiful and strive to make my home as beautiful as it can be.  I love sharing inspiration with blogland and have been blogging for 6 years.

My complete Home Tour with links to individual posts might be helpful for answering any questions.

I also did a video a few months ago, showing my house mostly done.  This video was for an HGTV submission (nothing came of it), so I did a little tour of my house, talking about how long I’ve been decorating and lots of things I’ve done in my house, so you might enjoy this one!  And you can hear my Southern drawl, up close and personal. 🙂

Please make yourself at home at Southern Hospitality!

The next stop on the tour is my friend, Traci at Beneath my Heart. She’s been working on a big renovation as well, so I hope you’ll stop over and see her gorgeous home too!

    Rhoda I am reading the 2014 tour but had to pop back to this and loved your fun video! The lamp in your living room is the same as the pair on our night stands in our bedroom (which we made over in 10/12 – the first month I started blogging) so that made me smile. I love your home! Ok, popping back over to the new post. xo
