Make Yourself at Home: The Family Room

Some of my dear friends have asked if I have any pictures of our little country house here on the AFG Homestead. I thought you all might like to see some pictures too, so I have decided to post them here!  Keeping a home that is warm, cozy, and full of love is one of the most important parts of homesteading.  Of course, there will be lots to do outside with the garden and animals, but never underestimate the treasure hidden inside the home! 

We purchased our home in 2009! It was a forclosed home, and there was alot of work that needed to be done, but to us it was a dream house from God.  Most the homes were looking at in our price range were small rental houses located in town. When we first walked in the home, we saw potential in all the small things.  It was as if God remembered all those little details we mentioned when talking about what we would like in a house someday . . . a big front porch, wood beams, a fireplace, an upstairs, a home with character, some land, a shop . . . the list could go on and on!  So I am going to take you through our home room by room.  Some rooms have before pictures, and some do not.  Some rooms are more or less finished, while others still have some work to do.

Here is the Family Room:
