I LOVE OUR HOUSE - #3

I haven't told you about our house in a while. Honestly, I'm having to work really hard at not having a bad attitude about our messy garage, bare walls, and rooms with poorly arranged furniture. So I'm going to show you some more things I like. It will help me to keep my focus on the good stuff while I wait for the time, energy, or inspiration to tackle everything else.

Ready?

The center of our home has the kitchen, dining room, and a little bonus area. It's a fairly long room with a sliding glass door that opens to a covered patio on one end and a window that opens to a covered porch on the other end. Needless to say, there's not a lot of light that comes in that area.

Except for one thing.

The solar tube.



That glowing circle on my ceiling brings so much light into our home. I love it! Even in this dark time of year, we get enough light that we are usually able to do school and eat lunch at the table without turning a light on. On sunny days it's so bright that you'd think we had a light on if you walked into the room and it works like a nightlight when the moon is big.

That is wonderful, I know I don't like dark rooms either. Look forward to more of your posts. Now I know about your laundry room and your solar tube.

I love that, too! I'd like one in our bathroom that is in the center of the house with no windows.
