~MY 1 ROOM CABIN IN THE WOODS~

Hello Guys !! I thought I would join in today with Chari at "Happy To Design" and show you a post I did in April of this year of my little ole cabin in the mountains...which is now my home or as I call it my little slice of heaven that God gave me to enjoy until I get carried out in a pine box.... April post :
I thought I would share with you my 1 room cabin in the mountains... When we bought this place in 1976 it really was just a Cabin in the woods..This was our weekend get away place...

Now!! here our the Proud owners in 1977 in front of our Hideaway...Now this Cabin didn't even have a bath or shower...just a sink and toilet so when we came up here we really did rough it..I took many PTA baths !!! Oh you are asking what does the PTA stand for?? well its "Powder the Ass" Oh my did I say that?? you bet I did...

Now here we have Aunt Joyce and me out in front...see we have added a Patio and a cover and see that window well that's the shower we added YAHOO!! toss out the powder and give me some soap....1978
Now all of these next Pictures are the same spot in the Kitchen....This one is 1978 and this was the kitchen and that really was all the counter space in here and a 2 burner stove and don't you love my sign ??? that's how I felt when I had to cook in this small space...Now remember this cabin was 350 foot and that included the living room, dining room , bedroom, and kitchen..very cozy...

Now this was in 1988 when we first moved up here...we added a Living room, and bedroom on and then redid the cabin and made it into just a kitchen and dining area...At this time we were just moving in...but look at that BIG smile on my face !!! Now remember this is all the same area you are seeing through the years...

Now in 1996 we added a formal dining room on to this cabin and so again we redid the kitchen and this is what I have today...my Old Fashion kitchen that I always wanted...I had the blue and white tiles made and the Stove is an Elmira that I ordered and waited for 3 months to get..its a re pop of a 1850 Victorian stove...I had wanted this stove for 6 years and one day Wally just said go ahead and order your stove...because we are not going to redo this kitchen again... So now my little 1 room cabin in the woods is now almost 4000 sq ft...When people ask me how old is this house I tell them 1969, 1978, 1988, 1996, 1999, and 2005 Pick a year ha ha!!! Hope you enjoyed seeing my 1 room Cabin...I have done 5 additions onto this little cabin in 27 years....

Thanks Chari for giving us this day to do a do-over...

May all of you have a Great and Blessed day...
