It’s more like Shenanigan Adventures!

Ooooh yes, it’s been crazy since the end of October and I’m not complaining.

As Iris DeMent and John Prince sang …

“No, we’re not the jet set
We’re the old Chevro-let set
There’s no Riviera
In Festus, Missouri

And you won’t find Onassis
In Mullinville, Kansas
No, we’re not the jet set
We’re the old Chevro-let set
But ain’t we got love…”

A Match Made in Style and Relaxation Heaven!

It’s not just a home, its a vacation for you, or a great set for your filming production, or a nice location for a photo shoot!

I mean check out the Sunken Living Room.  The Gnomad Beach Pad was Built in 1964. Old Stan kept great care of the house and we were happy to take it over after his death in 2012.  We honored him and his wife by not making a ton of changes.

20151031_151522-1

You can see in a previous post the changes we made: Our House Out House

I decorated the entire house with picked and found items.

20180204_084402-DSC_0002

I went with the design theme of Mid Century, because, well, It was built in the Mid Century!

20180211_075116-DSC_0238

I mean look at that original Formica counter top…

So we had to go all the way Mid Century in the Kitchen.

Now for on top of the super cute Formica counter top!

The front and side grass covered yards provide enough area for a football game and croquet match to go on a the same time, if not more activities!

20180210_133150-DSC_0130

So much room for so much fun!

20180206_110413-DSC_0006
