Apparently the Thomas's had a pretty nice farm back in the day but the original farm house burned down. Around about 1981 a member of the family rebuilt this house on the site of the old one, and here we are! Living in a lovely home with the very exact same fixtures and wallpaper that were put in it almost 30 years ago. For instance, the kitchen is very spacious with tons of counter space and cabinets. Problem is, when there is a lot of space, there is a lot of terrible wallpaper and yellow counter top to fill up all that space.
Well, you see what I mean:
Not that I'm complaining, mind you! We hardly even notice the wonderful yellow glow that we all have when standing in the kitchen!
And then, there above the door, you can't really see but trust me when I tell you that there is a woman's name, Miss Lois, fitted in stained glass above it. And a man's name is above the back door.
Of course it's DAVE! So all logic would tell you that that would then make me MISS LOIS, would it not?!

I love a house with charm! Even if it is 80s charm. :) Do you want to rip down the wallpaper? Would the homeowners have a fit??
I love the spaciousness! And the soft, warm lighting. .it feels cozy and farmhouse like. very nice!
Lois! Perfect. And really, why hasn't anyone touched that wallpaper since 1981?? The counter space is definitely enviable, though!
Don't knock the yellow countertops... I still haven't escaped mine and we've been here 8(?) years now. (Just cause I'm to cheap to spend money on new ones.) I do think the purple color I painted our 70's kitchen toned down the yellow glow. Of course I don't have near the counterspace your place does. The place looks charming. You will have lots of great memories there.
