Annamarie's Home Tour Finale


Welcome back to Annamarie's home.  
Lace. Ruffles. Treasures. Tulle. Roses. Pearls. Vintage goodness.  
Are you ready to continue on this romantic journey?
If you missed the first two parts of the tour, go here and here.











It's time to meet the pretty lady...
Annamarie and husband Ralph
So for all of you who didn't think a man could live there, think again.  Aren't they a beautiful couple? 

Here are quoted texts by Annamarie to me, because like you, I wondered.  I wondered a lot of things and she always was gracious and funny with her answers. 

"My sister Mary and I used to own a cottage store in Florida, it was our dream after our mom passed away. Our store and my home were featured in Country Living Magazine in the April 2006 issue, "Rose Patterned Home Decor."  The co-editor, Jane Dagmi, came to my home and shop. It was so exciting. " 

"I now live in North Carolina.  This is my dream world. There is so much more, even other bathrooms and another bedroom." 

"Yes, I'm a neat freak and I don't stop cleaning! But I love it.  However, I do use my house.  I entertain all the time, love to have tea parties, bbq's and dinner parties." 

"I know so many people ask how does your husband live in this house. He thinks it's romantic, like a bed and breakfast! His motto is happy wife, happy life!" 

"I just love all the comments!  I love living in our shabby chic home and all the beautiful people in it." 

Finally, the most anticipate answer. Will she have a blog? "You make it look so easy, maybe one day soon I will start one." (She's the one who makes it look easy with all these pretty photos.)  You can check out her Ebay shop, Bocarose.

  39. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! I hope so much that Annemarie starts a blog...SOON! I have to chuckle to myself, so many pretties in her home I have but not set up so well! Thanks again for this absolutely mesmerizing home of pink lushness! I have raised 3 sons in a very pink and girly home, none complained, neither has my husband! I think beauty and warmth are essential elements no matter what color. And yes if Momma is happy, the whole family is happy!LOL later,Lori
