Well, hello there everyone! I am Pam from House of Hawthornes and I am pleased as punch to be here in Debbiedoo’s neighborhood today. The Carolinas are so much warmer than Ohio is this time of year 🙂
I brought along some photos of my home for you.
From the front, our home looks like a cozy country ranch, but once inside it magically expands with an open floor plan and cathedral ceilings. I still can’t figure out how it does that. It’s like Jeannie lives here or something.
I have to tell you that the very first time I ever stepped foot in this house, I didn’t have to go any farther than the foyer, to know it was meant to be our home. I just had an overwhelming feeling that I was meant to live here.
Plus, I didn’t get the feeling like there were any ghosts living here, so yeah, that was another reason 🙂
The second thing that sold me on the house was a little less paranormal. The view.
We are surrounded by farm fields on three sides. This year it’s soy beans. Next year it will be corn. Either crop, it’s very peaceful.
Let’s start the tour with the front porch.
I have a little thing about decorating my porch for the different seasons and sometimes I go a tad bit overboard. I blame it on having a postage stamp sized porch at my last home.
More of this year’s fall porch decor can be found here: Fall Porch Decor.
Front porch decor from some of the other seasons can be found here: Pam’s Front Porch Decorating Addiction.
Entering through the front door, you will find the small entryway. I enjoy decorating the entryway table with seasonal vignettes. In this case, you will find one of my winter ones.
From the entryway you can see straight into the living room and out the back door. This is the heart of our home and where all our living goes on.
If someone put a glue gun to my head and made me describe my decorating style, in addition to my hair being sticky, I would say it is eclectic/vintage/thrift store/industrial.
I love shopping at thrift stores, estate sales and just about anywhere that vintage and quirky things are sold and a byproduct of that is that they make their way into my living space.
The kitchen is adjacent to the living room. In fact, if you were to stand on the other side of this breakfast counter you would be looking into the living room.
Here are a few photos of this year’s fall decorating in the kitchen.
My dining room is a little on the small size, but considering I use it once or twice a year, it serves its purpose.
The china corner cabinet was my Grandmother’s, the table was from a local antique shop and the chairs rode up here on a Greyhound bus from a Georgia antique store.
Here is the dining room all decked out for the holidays last year.
My office/craft area is one of my favorite places to hang out. I fill it with stuff that makes me smile.
If you look at the original blueprint of the house, this area didn’t exist. The original owners borrowed space from the attic area of the garage and converted it into office space.
It actually looks out over our bedroom, but you will probably never see that view since it would require me making my bed.
More photos of my vintage thrifty office can be found here: Vintage Thrifty Office.
We remodeled my son’s bathroom to make it handicap accessible last fall and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. Part of the handicap accessibility was a wheel in shower.
When it came time to decorate it, I gave it an industrial look with a side of gas station decor. More photos and details can be found here: Industrial Style Child’s Bathroom.
Well, I hope you don’t mind me scooting you out of here. I need to get on back to Ohio to work on some holiday projects. Thank you so much for taking a look at my photos today.
I’d love for you to come visit my blog some day. Any friend of Debbie’s is a friend of mine!

I love Pam’s collections. Those drawer cubbies are too cool. Love Pam’s house inside and out!
I love Pam’s cozy home and I believe I have her coming up in a couple weeks sharing her favorite room, too.
Love visiting Pam’s home. It’s beautiful and homey all at the same time, which is what we are all shooting for. 🙂

Debbie…thanks for featuring Pam’s home. She really has a great eye for detail, I like her simple window treatments and how her accessories don’t overpower a room. And that industrial bathroom is awesome…so many good ideas there, too. Thanks to both of you!
XO,
Jane
This is such a pretty home–inside and out. Thanks so much for the tour! Have a great weekend, Dee 🙂
I always enjoy touring Pam’s home. Each time I visit, I spy several items that I’d like to move to West MI.
Gorgeous ideas Debbie…..thanks for the share!!!!
I love all of Pam’s personal and vintage touches in her home…just lovely and it has a lot of whimsy, too!
Hi Debbie,

I just ADORE Pam’s home! The views on the outside are amazing, but the inside? I love how she decorated each room and is so real about it too! I think my favorite room is her breakfast nook: the chair rail along the windows? I totally want to steal that idea!
Lovely home Pam! Thanks for the tour, Debbie! What an awesome view!!~~Angela
Loved the tour and the tour guide was lovely. You’ve gotta love anyone who has a badger and unmade bed within a stones throw of her craft room. 🙂
Thanks Debbie! I enjoyed seeing Pam’s beautiful home.
Beautiful tour! I love the style of your home and all of he vintage goodies inside! The porch is fantastic and that view, spectacular! Thank you for sharing! Hugs, Leena
What a view! Lovely home ~ 🙂

Pam’s got a lovely home, both inside and out. I love her vintage collections and best of all her humorous writing style. It’s always a treat to visit her blog!
So many vintage pieces, just love the red truck. Such a pretty home, so enjoyed the tour!
Blessings,
Cindy
Pam does vintage so well and what a view that is. I also love her wit.
Your home is so lovely & unique which is precisely how a home should be. I particularly love your empty frames on the shelf – it is on my ‘to-do’ list. Your apples & Autumn leaves look just so homely on your dining-room table.
Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us ….
Love it! I love the baskets on the walls in the bathroom and the little basket in the kitchen. You have a lot of little odds and ends that I love!
I could move in now ! SO inventive.
