Hello all you gorgeous, blessed, frugal, creative, charitable,
expressive, thoughtful, whimsical, intelligent, funny, and charming homemakers!
Today I wanted to take you all with me over
to Lisa Pennington's home in Texas!
She is my new friend, and I want to introduce you to her!
to Lisa Pennington's home in Texas!
She is my new friend, and I want to introduce you to her!
(Let's all pile in my Honda CR-V.
Sorry if some of you are hanging out of the car!
I'll drive fast so we don't get caught by a State Trooper!)
Lisa is a home maker that lives in a small town,
and on their land they have a farm with a myriad of animals.

She also makes adorable things and sells them on Esty
in her Shop24 Boutique!
(Did one of you remember the map? Chocolate?)
I adore her because she is funny
(and has a wonderful sense of humor and loves to laugh),
sweet, creative, energetic,
(and has a wonderful sense of humor and loves to laugh),
sweet, creative, energetic,
loves God and her family, and her home shows it!
She makes beautiful and organized spaces on a budget,
and we can learn a thing or two from her.

(Someone has their foot in my ear! Move it!)
She and her husband, James, have 9 children AND she home schools!!!
(I only have the capacity to home school 2socially-awkward children geniuses at a time.)
Dining Room/School Room
I think she has tastefully combined a teaching and dining area.
She has unified the room by painting all the wooden chairs white.
Remember, she has 9socially-awkward geniuses, so they need the seating!
The touches of black iron and black furniture unify the two sides of the room.
See the adorable gum/candy machine below the clock?
And the wording LEARN, Imagine and BELIEVE above the white board?
The baskets under the white board to organize "stuff"?
This long side board/teacher's table is perfect
for a holiday or birthday buffet,
or (lots of) grading papers!
See way down there at the end, underneath this sideboard table?
It's a cabinet she and her daughter Hope built.
It holds all the kids' laptops. Smart!
The table centerpiece is creative!
She got her tables from a guy at the flea market that restores furniture.
See the "J" in the chair above, that's where her hubby James is enthroned.
Here's Lisa's chair.
She monogrammed them.
(Maybe with 9 kids you forget your own name?
The initials are there to jog their memories?)
But aren't they pretty?
Their little son, Levi, got his WHOLE name!
Lisa used her Cricut.
The mantle was original to the house, and Lisa built the mantle!
This is the official "school table".
Here are some other spaces around her lovely home.
Thank you, Lisa for letting us traipse through your lovely and loving home.
Thanks for the scones and coffee, too!
(We pray you have many years of homeschooling bliss!)

LISA!
We're here! Let us in!
(I call first dibs on the Powder Room!!)
Okay, so the room I wanted y'all to see was her elegant, yet cozy
I don't know about you, but my home school room DOES NOT look like this.
