Hi everyone! It’s December, dark and dismal. And sadly, Lonely for some. I had this idea just now. Open our front doors to all our virtual friends on GN! Here, Stand at my front door and this is what you see. You are very welcome. Come on in, take the weight off, kick off your shoes and let me pour you a drink.

What would I see if I came to YOUR front door?

My longish hall. I live in a bungalow with every room off the central hall. I'd love a Bailey's hot chocolate Iam64. Or one with added Tia Maria.

S cuse me folks, I’ve been introduced to Bailey’s Hot Chocolate by my youngest. Phew - I’ve led a sheltered life. Would anyone else like one.

Teeny hallway into living room, this is first bit seen on entering, cosy and warm!

It is a lovely thread a hot chocolate or mulled wine welcomes my visitors.

What beautiful, cosy and warm homes you all have.
I hope very sincerely you all have a lovely Christmas in them.

Urmstongran I haven’t enjoyed a thread so much for ages, especially your thoughtful and personalised replies.
This morning it is a sheet of ice on the pavement and road outside my wee hoose. So I took the photo of my hall from inside. The other view is as you turn into lounge. Kettle just boiled and I have a nice granary loaf to toast. Come on in for a blether.

Here's our sitting room from two angles complete with cats and their toys. No apologies for mess -its their home too!
You are most welcome. Do come in.

A warm tidy hallway, leading towards the kitchen area. That door is closed but as it’s 3/4 way glass, you will see a giant one year old lab and his 3 year old spaniel companion doing synchronised jumping and barking.
I know, shameful - one of them has worked out how to open the child gate on the utility which is where they go to settle down before meeting visitors ?

Love this. What a lovely idea ?

TillyTrotter Tue 07-Dec-21 08:38:26

I love the sofa too, the room is lovely Lauren. ? ? ?

Marydoll Tue 07-Dec-21 07:20:33

Urms, what a great thread! I have noticed many posters, whom I have never seen posting before and no animosity in sight!

I'm so nosy, I'm loving the insight into poster's homes.
Lauren, I love the sofa! ?

Lauren59 Tue 07-Dec-21 04:55:10

Well, I’m late joining the merriment! I’ve no entry hall, so come right in and sit down!

My hall when it was tidy - now a mess with carrier bags and gift wrap all over.

Marydoll Mon 06-Dec-21 19:39:49

Some lovely homes here. ?

I'm waiting for Mr MDoll to move the boxes of the new lounge lights we purchased today, then I will post my photo. You may have a long wait. He needed smelling salts, when he heard what the final bill was! wink

4allweknow Thank you, it’s a Victorian town house on 3 floors.
The house has a lovely warm feel, the walls have absorbed lots of joy over the decades.
We bought it 11 years ago and have been very happy here.

4allweknow Mon 06-Dec-21 18:39:27

sago love the style of your house. Quite an age I guess, and looks so warming and comfy even from the front door.

elleks Mon 06-Dec-21 18:31:09

Two spaniels screaming their heads off with excitement! They love visitors.
