A tour of FairOaks


My bright and cheery kitchen.

This is the "Parlor" when you first enter the front door.

Another view of the Parlor

The "Manly Room" or "Den" is across from the parlor.  The wood stove there is in the process of being installed.  We can hardly wait to get a warm fire going in there!  There are seven fireplaces in the house, but they are all too old to use.  Thus, the wood stove. 

Another view of the manly room from standing inside the parlor.  Still have to get curtains for this room, and eventually an area rug.

And one more view from looking out the dining room side/

Our dining room

Looking from the other side into the kitchen



The Master Bedroom is on the main floor also.

Master Bath
Jacuzzi

The main level foyer--stairs going to second level.





This is up at the top of the stairs.  Children's bathroom is that little door in the middle of the picture.  The door to the right is our "hobbit closet" a big storage closet.  To the left is the Guest Room/Family Room area with another big jacuzzi suite bathroom.  There is a table and couch in there we use for school, plus lots of books, toys and a tv.  I did not get pictures yet of that room or the bathroom up there.

The boys room--this is Dbo's bed.

W's bed and computer station for school

J's bed...as you can see, sometimes the boys room is not the neatest.  :)

This the girl's room...there are bunks on the left side that you cannot see.

The schoolroom--My desk and B's computer station.

Out the door of the schoolroom is a balcony.

Another view of the schoolroom.  J and E work on the computer that is to the right.
This is "Ramshackle" our big barn outside.  It has a loft upstairs that S is making into a game room type area.  Down below are stalls for animals, etc.    







Ole' Ebenezer our 250 year old Grandpappy tree.
So there you have a tour of the new home the Lord has given us.  It is such a blessing and we pray we will be good stewards of this place, raising the next generation here, and being a blessing to the saints!
