I love LARGE windows...
Our house is very olden and plain..
all the windows were the little short ones and I coveted LARGE windows...
sooo.....
when Mr. Sweet and I added on to our living room about 6 years ago,
he put in two large Southern windows for me and
I WAS IN LOVE!

SUNLIGHT streaming through...

2 large dining room windows.
Not a good photo...my camera broke shortly after this photo session. :((

Our grass, right now, is no where NEAR being green.
Won't be long, tho....
A favorite window in the dining room.
a little sunlight on my comfy leather sofas..
TARTS....cooling on a kitchen windowsill...
SUMMERTIME SUNSHINE...
SHADOWS...

I want ALL plantation shutters but, ooo, they are so expensive.
ONE WINDOW AT A TIME, I guess.
wintertime sunlight....
it looks so warm but ....
be still, my heart.
My vintage, metal stool.....
I love this little stool and years ago,
I saw a photo in a beautiful magazine of a vintage stool, just like mine,
and SHE had her sweetie's race car driver number on her stool.
I loved that so....I copied her.
I am SUCH a copycat....!!

Everything looks so pretty BJ! Love the windows.
Do you know what an earth home is? That's what we lived in on the farm. There were two sets of french doors, one set was in the living room and the other set in the master bedroom. There was also a small window in the master bedroom. There was one bedroom with no windows at all, so could not use it for anything much other than storage, because of insurance!! The guest bedroom had one window and so did the laundry/utility room. There was a set of double windows over the sink and three skylights(leaky ones). When we built this house we asked for lots of windows...lots and lots of them. We have 32 windows, two single french doors and a set of two french doors, plus the front door is glass with two sidelights. Almost 40. Sort of window overkill.LOL But after living under the ground for over 20years we were starved for light!
BJ I have really enjoyed your photos. I love large windows and lots of sunshine!
Beautiful photos. I love when the sunshine streams in.
Beautiful, beautiful streams of sunshine BJ...and I LOVE that metal stool!
Hugs,

Ohhhhh, your fav in the dining room! Ohhhhhhhhh my! Lovely! Is that what you call large Southern windows?
Basically, they go right to the floor. I love that look tooooo! But never knew what it is called.
Naturally, I do not have any! Naturally! Up here is silly ol' Yankee Land. -sighhhhhhhhh- :-))))
Gentle hugs...
I would sit in front of that dining room window and daydream the day away. Pretty post, BJ. Happy Thursday!
I had to scroll back up to the tarts-YUMMY:@)
Windows help make a room, though I do believe you enjoy a decorating challenge and can create a lot of charm with or without a window's help.
Your home is so beautiful BJ. I love big wondows too, I need the sunshine making everything glow!
Copycat is OK, some of my best ideas aren't MY ideas at all:) Love all of your pretties. My Daughter has Plantation shutters throughout her house and YES they are expensive!
Your windows and the light shining in is just gorgeous! Enjoy this day my friend, BIG HUGS!
YOU are MY ray of sunshine this day! I love your sun tour!
I love all of the sunlight you've captured coming in through your windows! However, my favorite window is the one with the cooling tarts = ).
So sorry to hear about your camera. You'll need to replace it right away so we won't be without your great photos.
Best,
Bonnie
I love big windows, too, BJ. Our windows only look big because our rooms are so small! lol! I like the floor to ceiling ones you have and the sunlight coming in looks so pretty. I love that stool, too. We are all copycats!!
XO,
Jane
Just love your words of wisdom as grandmother .
and your house look wonderful !!!!!!!!!!
It's been snowing here since yesterday so I have had no sunshine shining through my windows...waaaaaaa!! Loved all of your pictures, everything looked so lovely with the sunlight shining through. I have big windows and am so thankful for that because I don't know what I'd do with just itty bitty windows!! My kitchen window over my sink is very large and I love it:-) xoxo
I love plantation shutters, yes one window at a time will work.
BJ,
I adore that you put "Mr. Sweet's" number on your chair! That sunflower caught my eye first. Sorry, "Mr. Sweet". .. I am from Kansas!I, also, spotted some of your willow Tree Angels on the shelves! Lovely light shining through your home. You've truly captured the warmth in your photos. I felt the love "oozing" through!
Fondly,
Pat
Yes, the first thing I do in the morning is raise the shade and open the curtains! I love the light coming into a home. Rah! Rah! #57!!!
xoxo

I fell so in love with your sweet idea to put your hubby's football number on the stool that I had to immediately place a metal 7 next to an old paper number 8 card in my office so I'd have my own honey's #87. I just found your blog and love it! Have a great weekend...
What wonderful photos, I didn't want them to end..your home is beautiful and yes the light that shines in adds so much visual warmth.

Great photos! I have many windows in our house. Really need new window treatments but oh the expense. Have also thought of plantation shutters, but again...oh the expense. So many projects in the works right now so guess those shutters will have to wait!
Everything looks so pretty! I love plantation shutters too... you're right, one window at a time.
What a gorgeous vignette. Beautiful juxtapostion at it's very best!
Have a wonderful weekend.
There is nothing like bright sunshine coming through the windows on a cold winter day. Everything is very pretty-love the leather sofa.
Whata wonderful photos you share this morning; everything looks bright ans shiny. I live to have light shining through my house. I have a hard time with cloudy dark days.

Good Morning my Dear friend..Girl your home is so lovely and clean..I wished I could say the same about mine...Hope all is well on your side of the mountain my friend..Hugs and smiles Gloria
BJ, everything is so pretty. You are so good about sharing your sunshine.
I have the same little vintage stool. Unfortunately, I no longer have a place to use it. I am going to try listing it on Craigslist.com
BJ your home is just lovely. So enjoyed the light shining on your treasures. Light is vital to me when I buy a house ... your windows are a lovely addition.
Happy St. Patrick's Day ~
Have a lovely PS weekend ~
