Yesterday we heard from Seth’s sister, Claire! Today we get to hear from another sister, my sister-in-law Tina in Ft Worth, Texas!  Here is what Tina had to say about her home…

Home for us is cozy space to nap with our pups, watch a football game, have friends and family over, and just a place to relax and be ourselves! Our home was built in 1942 and has lots of charm. It’s not perfect, pretty quirky actually, but it’s cozy and inviting (sounds a lot like family, right?).  I would not trade it for any ‘cookie cutter’ home right now; I mean, where would all of my great Canton finds go?!

Everyone loves our red front door and I can’t lie, it’s pretty darn cute and what initially sparked my interest in the house! The bench out front is an antique from a little store in Kiowa, OK where my grandparents live. I think it adds a great pop of color against the grey!

The living room is cozy and usually hosts Aggie football, or a good round of Dance Central where my nephews learned all the greatest dance moves 😉

The entry way table is about 100 years old. It was at my great- grandparent house and fits the space perfectly. I love to mix new pieces with antiques; I think it adds great personality to the space!

The built in cabinets are original to the home. I spruced them up with a fresh coat of paint and some new hardware. My crafty mom was kind enough to make a window seat cushion to complete the space!

Things I love about the bedroom: new hardwoods (holla!), Canton door as headboard ($30 steal), and my antique dressing table!

We recently added a new vanity and tile to our master bath. I love it!

Last but not least, the kitchen. We had the cabinets resurfaced, added quartz countertops, tile/glass back splash, and new appliances.

The cookbook/towel holder above the sink is actually a wine crate!

Notice the quote “If you met my family you would understand.” My mom got that little sign for me and it’s actually perfect.  I think that explains a lot about our home and how loving or crazy it can be at times. Thanks for letting me share, Kristen!

Thanks, Tina!   As I read this and look at pictures of your home that we have had so much fun in I am reminded of the quote in your parents lakehouse…”Home is where you treat family like friends and friends like family”!
