This is the entryway, or where the front door is. A very small foyer, but, it is adequate and I am pretty sure my neighbors don't judge me for it. When I was having the house built, I did not have the vision of a big entryway. I can see that I have been looking at too many houses, lately. Bigger is not necessarily better.

This is another sitting area, the room next to this is the formal dining room. This room gets used a lot by people looking to find a quiet corner to read in.

This is the other side of the sitting room.

This landing is from the upstairs where there are four bedrooms. There is one more downstairs. Straight down the stairs is my office, although, I can honestly say that I steem in the sitting room near the kitchen most of the time.
One of five bathrooms. It has a shower and a jacuzzi tub. For those days where you need a little extra TLC.

The entryway again, as you are walking in the door. At Christmas, I get to decorate the staircase with garland and lights. It is my favorite look for it. I wish I could keep it up all year long.
The options are varied and many, so now I will just have to see which one of the houses fit best. I am already here in this one, so, it has an advantage. But, will I be better moving before the area gets crowed. Or will it be one of those things you slowly absorb into your system?
And just like that, this post is done. I hope you enjoyed your visit! As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:
How to Participate:
1. Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, Clothing, Plant or Animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo or an art auction. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for a service. I once went to a nail salon.
2. Take pictures! Be creative (or not)
3. Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
4. Post the picture(s)
5. Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle
6. Drop the link to your post here so I can easily find them
It is always interesting to see the different markets around the globe! C’mon! Show me your market shots! I eagerly await them!
![image.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/dswigle/V9wcFJaR-image.png)
I love to share and be shared with! I am intrigued by different cultures. It is exciting and yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery, a kite festival! Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again, I am encouraged by you, for the time you take to visit, comment or even upvote. For all of these reasons, I am eternally grateful. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
warsan shire

Oh there is just so much good about your house and basically no bad. Every room could be straight out from Better Homes and gardens. Truly amazing! Did I mention that I love all your wood furniture omg. Oh and I can't help but to say you have the best taste in art! Wow! Sorry I digress.... Plus you love the area! I mean the only thing that would be better is lakefront ;)
Oh I just have to say that shot with just the toes is magnificent! Sheer genius! No wonder I am such a devotee!
Oh, I think we have that in common, the loving of the wood! I love everything about it, the texture, the feel, the look, how distinct each one is. I could go on and on. I really do love it, you are right.
The art is fun to collect, piece by piece over time. No rhyme or reason, I just love it!
I do love the area, but, it was not my first choice of places to live, although I have come to love it. You know I am a salt girl!! I had a house near Lake Superior, up on Little Bay de Noc and although that was a wonderful time in my life, I can say that I was born in the salt and will probably die in the salt.
LOL at the feet shot. I was too lazy to take another or edit it out. Oh, do tell? I was hoping that writing would help me figure it all out. Yeah, no. But, I have time.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Well I certainly dont want to be remiss and forget my link! I actually wrote that comment in bed and fell asleep without sending it. Talk about a devoted fan OMG! Sleep posting even!

Oh, look at you! Dropping your link and all. Sleep posting!!! I do that every Thursday night, ramping up for #MarketFriday!
Thanks for dropping the link! It is much appreciated!

That is a truly amazing house. I don't know how you could think about leaving!
Hi, Boom!! @meesterboom
Well, the area is in the Washington, DC area, although just out of the beltway around the city. Over time, it has gotten just a bit busier and I probably could stay and just grow into it, or move now and avoid the growth.
Time will tell, but, you are right. I do like my house and especially my neighbors. I was kind and didn't even show you half of it. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello! It is always a pleasure!
Have a great night over there!

Maybe I should give marketfriday a try!
I don't often check my wallet but I just noticed this:
Too much! In any case please be patient with me as I haven't been running as many contests as I did in the past. So busy in my off-line life!!!¨
A new one is coming soon and thanks again for your support!
Oh, I am not worried when it is. Just know that you have a little extra whenever life permits. Mine will become uber busy October/November, but I will stick my head in when I can. :)
It may be more than I realize or not as much as I hoped. At any rate, I am just happy as a clam that you are still alive and well on the blockchain and you haven't disappeared to another platform!
As always, have a most wonderful day and no rush, ever!
Oh, yes!!! I would love to see a #MarketFriday anytime. No rush, we are always there!!

That's a very nice living place. I really love those carpets, also the furnitures are very attractive.
Here is my today's post- https://steemit.com/photography/@rem-steem/local-dry-fish-market-of-bangladesh
Hope you will get to see a total different thing. :)
Thank you so much for your feedback! I did like the other houses too, but, making me put this one out here gave me a little more time to think about it as I was posting.
I can hardly wait to see your post! Last week was fun! I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Those windmills really looks amazing with the lights on.
This must surely be your secret @dswigle. You may have been a photographer or already one. The photos of the various markets you share are simply classic. I enjoy them always. Thanks for making this day remarkable. Happy wekend everyone.

How beautiful and tidy is everything
The order is not in my temper.
I like to see it but not pick up haha
Here I leave my market today
Happy day dear
besos
I love these old coffee grinders!!
Hola hermoso. Ser ordenado me hace la vida mucho más fácil. ¡Me lleva un momento limpiar de esta manera y nunca tengo que preocuparme por limpiar antes de que venga mi familia! ¡Jaja!
Por lo general, mis hijos son bastante ordenados, ¡eso me hace mucho más fácil!
Thank you for the always wonderful posts that you give to #MarketFriday!!! Love to you!!! Have a great night~

That is a cozy looking house. I love the brown theme as it adds a classic touch! By the way, the idea of decorating the staircase with garlands and lights is really cool. Have a great weekend ahead =)
Here is my #marketfriday experience of this week:
https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@yashny/market-friday-168-seafood-store-7eib3jeg
Interesting stuff sold in that store!!
Thank you so much @yashny!
The browns seem to add a feeling of warmth in this climate. Although I am more of a bright color person, I go home to relax and this seems to work. I will have to show you how it looks when I decorate it all up this Christmas. When I take it down in January, it looks so empty for such a long time!
I look forward to your Market! I hope you have had a great week and that your weekend will be awesome!
