I'm originally from Muncie, but I'm a little familiar with your neck of the woods because we have family scattered around the state. I'll have to check out LaPorte next time I'm in the area- thanks for the tip!<br /><br />I'm so glad you stopped by! We'll have to be neighbors in spirit, since I'm a Hoosier at heart. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344221118451841205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369970495237278853.post-66846156627270810272014-06-12T04:58:04.153-07:002014-06-12T04:58:04.153-07:00Oh wow....love it!

I am in Merrillville :-) So happy to find a fellow blogger who lives close by! <br /><br />Have you ever shopped that little nothing flea market in LaPorte or their antique shops downtown? If not you need to go....they have great stuff at wonderful prices :-)Christine @ Rustic-Refinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062085942305276829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369970495237278853.post-19603231711298826212014-06-10T22:06:08.919-07:002014-06-10T22:06:08.919-07:00Thanks, Bonnie!

Can't believe the difference the painted window trim in the family room made. Such great ideas to help us "rookies" do things right.

I think all of us who are into houses have these daydreams about re-doing old schools or libraries. It would be an instant conversation starter when you entertained in one. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344221118451841205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369970495237278853.post-25634264525849957192014-06-10T07:52:47.385-07:002014-06-10T07:52:47.385-07:00Hi Kirstin!

It would be nice to live a little quieter life there.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344221118451841205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369970495237278853.post-38876075983535796962014-06-10T06:38:05.642-07:002014-06-10T06:38:05.642-07:00Vicki,

If I bought a large open building like an old school house or country church, I'd need an architect to help me with where to put up walls to create the inviting spaces you've shared.<br />xo,<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369970495237278853.post-52532605737161826082014-06-10T05:03:16.030-07:002014-06-10T05:03:16.030-07:00This one is pretty perfect!!
