We are back from our awesome 11 day vacation to our home state of Michigan!! We had so much fun , ate so much food, and drank too much wine! ( is there really ever too much wine??) anyway, our first stop was at G’s parents house! They built their house on 20 acres of beautifully wooded property, and over the last 10 yrs ( maybe more) they have built a pond, gotten horses and created an amazing little park, right in the front yard! Grants mom, Vickie, has an amazing eye for Antiques, and putting them together in a tastefull beautiful way. Their home is Victorian inspired, and as I was walking around this time, I realized how great her attention to detail is, so I thought, I am going to share this with you!! Each room is carefully filled with antiques and special items, here is a look at a few!
 |
| we call this room the frou frou room, the room G and I always use to sleep in when visiting, but now with L its, too small. |
 |
| The sitting room, I have nothing but wonderful memories of Christmas spent with all of G’s 4 brothers and their families, and listening to G’s dad play his guitar on that sofa as we listen. |
 |
| The Master bedroom, also has an attached master bath, but I couldnt get a good pic. |
 |
| Every little corner is filled with beautiful antique trinkets. |
 |
| This is an origianl Steamer trunk from G’s Gramma Heil. I love the history of it, and love how Vickie has displayed it as a night table in one of the guest rooms. |
 |
| Antique frames, and clusters of people important to the family..LOVE! |
 |
| Honestly, do you feel like you are in a Bed and Breakfast??!! Love how she isnt afraid to use Dark colors on the walls, this is actually a drk green sm. floral print going upstairs. |
 |
| An antique Pie Safe, and a mason Jar full of real glass Marbles that were used by Vickies dad when he was a child. |
Now, for a few outside shots, most of them include, Liam, but what a beautiful yard, with A grape vine arbour, bright flowers, and a serine water fountain!!

| Vickie, with her horse, Spice |
