Hello Debbie and Debbiedoos readers!
I?m so thrilled to be guesting here today and give you a tour of my home!
? We lived in Virginia, in the Hampton Roads area, for three years. (we are a military family and move around from time to time!)
?and this was our beautiful Virginia home!
?
Our home celebrates our military lifestyle and our family?s past.? We were fortunate enough to inherit this gorgeous Mahogany dining room set from my husband?s family.
? We?ve had so much fun entertaining friends and family at this table! (You can see more of my dining room here).
The pretty chandelier has pineapple details on it?did you know that the pineapple is an international symbol of hospitality and welcome?
Our home is filled with memories of our travels and each time my husband is deployed he returns with something locally made for our home!
Our foyer with a handmade carpet from Afghanistan and masks from Djibouti, Africa:
Here?s a close-up of the sea green vase and DIY Photo Art I have in my foyer:
I created a spa like feel in our Main Floor Bathroom:
Here?s our Back Entryway ? a white framed mirror is the focal point of our entryway and adds a sense of height to the antique school desk.? A rush basket works as extra storage.? I tied on a metal number 4, as in Setting for FOUR, (this is actually a house number!) to the basket with twine. :
I love the layout and fireplace in our Family Room:
The pillars flanking the Dining room add a nice architectural detail to the room and separates it from the foyer and living room open concept areas:
?
Vacation mementos from a fun trip to Belize ? a picture of our boys bodysurfing on the beach and a shell we found while scuba diving:
I also love to add meaning to our home by filling it with our children?s accomplishments and creativity!
I framed a piece of art that my youngest son drew for me a few years ago.? It?s a picture of our family all holding hands!? I love all of the Love arrows interconnecting us!? Check out how I turned this piece of art into a Turn Children?s Art into Tea Towels DIY.
Adding ?our story? to our home is deeply meaningful to our family. And a large part of ?our story? is that we are a proud military family; our home celebrates my husband?s military career, service to country and all of the personal sacrifices he has made.
I like to add his military memorabilia to our home in subtle ways.? My husband?s pewter mug adorns our fireplace mantel.? Traditionally, when a military member is posted and as a way to say goodbye, each member of my husband?s regiment is presented with a pewter mug monogrammed with his regiment?s insignia on it.? Here I filled it with boxwood clippings from our yard.? I love the play of the silvery pewter against the green foliage!
My Spring Mantel:
?and here is my hubby?s pewter mug on my Coastal Summer Mantel too!
I also love to bring the beauty of nature indoors, add plants and fresh flowers!
On our sofa table I placed this gorgeous white orchid in a silver ice bucket.? I also added these easy handmade DIY Love Votive Candles for a soft glow at night!
In spite of my love of home decor and the pretty things I add to the rooms, the most beautiful thing about our home is when all of my family is actually physically together in it..?it really is as simple as that.
With my husband often away on military training exercises or deployed overseas and now with my 19 year old son away at military college and officer cadet development training, to have all four of us together in our home is truly, a real treasure.
~ After all, family is the true meaning of any home! ~
I?m close to getting our new home ?Home Tour? worthy but I?m not quite there yet!
But to give you a sneak peak, here is my entryway!
I?d love for you to pop by Setting for Four and say hello!
Follow along with me here !
?
Thanks again Debbie for allowing me to share my home with you and your readers today!
?Thank you Heather for sharing your home today!
?

DUBAI |
DUBAI (Reuters) - Two days before his inauguration as Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani said on Friday that Israeli occupation of Palestinian land had inflicted a "wound" on the Muslim world, according to a segment of his remarks broadcast on Iran's state-run Press TV.
An earlier report by Iran's student news agency ISNA had quoted Rouhani as saying: "The Zionist regime is a wound that has sat on the body of the Muslim world for years and needs to be removed."
That version echoed the fiercely anti-Israeli language of outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but was swiftly repudiated by Iranian state media, which said unidentified news agencies had distorted Rouhani's remarks.
Press TV then broadcast an excerpt from an exchange between Rouhani and journalists at a rally to mark Iran's annual Al Qods Day in support of the Palestinians.
"After all, in our region there's been a wound for years on the body of the Muslim world under the shadow of the occupation of the holy land of Palestine and the beloved al-Qods (Jerusalem)," Rouhani said in the segment.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seized on ISNA's version of Rouhani's comments, saying they showed the reputedly moderate Iranian cleric was as hostile to Israel as Ahmadinejad, whose denial of the Holocaust and description of Israel as a "cancerous tumor" prompted international condemnation.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran of seeking a nuclear weapons capability. Tehran says its nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes, but Israel regards it as a threat to its existence and refuses to rule out military action.
With a more pragmatic president in Iran, Western countries may see a better chance for diplomacy to lead to a deal to curb Tehran's uranium enrichment program and avoid any conflict.
"The true face of Rouhani has been revealed sooner than expected. Even if they hurry to deny his words - this is what the man thinks and this is the Iranian regime's plan of action," Netanyahu said in a statement.
Rouhani's words "must awaken the world from the illusion in which part of it is placed since the Iranian elections", he declared, saying Iran still aimed "to acquire nuclear weapons in order to threaten Israel, the Middle East and world peace".
"A nation that threatens to destroy the state of Israel must not be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction," he said.
Ahmadinejad addressed Israel on Qods Day in his last speech as president. "You planted wind in our region and you will reap the storm. I swear to God that a ferocious storm is coming and it will uproot the Zionist entity," Iran's state news agency IRNA quoted him as saying.

President Obama emerged from closed-door meetings with House and Senate Democrats on Wednesday with a new mantra for his focus the rest of this year: ?Jobs. Middle class. Growth.?
With Congress poised to leave for a five-week summer vacation at the end of this week, Democrats wanted to huddle and make sure they were on the same page before tackling the major spending and debt fights looming.
?One thing is very clear as we get into debates this fall ? we are united,? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters after the Democratic Caucus met with Mr. Obama in the lunch hour.
The president had met with House Democrats earlier in the day.
Congress is leaving town for its vacation without the urgency that usually characterizes the last week before summer break ? particularly in the first year of a new Congress. In 2011, lawmakers were scrambling to avert a debt crisis, and in 2009 they were trying to find the funds to replenish the Cash for Clunkers stimulus program.
This year, however, the deadline fights are all coming later, leaving both chambers to clean up some regular business before fleeing the stifling summer days that characterize Washington in August.
Democrats and Republicans have both signaled the battle lines for the upcoming fights: The GOP says it will not accept another debt increase without winning concessions, while the White House says it?s done negotiating over spending cuts that it says are keeping the economy down.
Wednesday?s latest growth figures suggest that there is plenty of room for work.
The economy grew at a rate of 1.7 percent, measured by gross domestic product, between April and June. But the bad news came in the January to March period, which saw its growth tally revised downward from 1.8 percent to just 1.1 percent.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Senators are questioning top Obama administration officials about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs for the first time since the House narrowly rejected a proposal last week to effectively shut down the NSA's secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans' phone records.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday will include testimony from the No. 2 officials at the Justice Department, FBI and NSA, plus the top lawyer for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It will also include testimony from James G. Carr, a senior federal judge who previously served on the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and who recently urged Congress to give such judges more discretion and authority to appoint lawyers to serve the interests of the public.
Carr has said to do otherwise "puts basic constitutional protections at risk and creates doubts about the legitimacy of the court's work and the independence and integrity of its judges."
The government acknowledged last week in a letter to Congress that there have been an unspecified number of "compliance problems" in following the rules put in place governing the secret collection of Americans' phone records. The director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said no intentional or bad-faith rules violations were found.
Since the NSA surveillance became public two months ago, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has introduced legislation that would allow the government to obtain phone records only when it can establish that the information is relevant to an authorized investigation and is linked to a foreign terrorist group or foreign power. Leahy's bill would enhance oversight by expanding reporting requirements to Congress and would add further court review of surveillance programs. The measure also would add a new sunset provision for national security letters, which are issued by government agencies such as the FBI to gather information such as phone numbers dialed or sender or recipient email addresses.
Former NSA systems analyst Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing the NSA's phone records program. Snowden also leaked details of a second NSA program called PRISM, which forces major Internet firms to turn over detailed contents of communications such as emails, video chats and pictures.
Last year, the Judiciary Committee approved Leahy's measure to bolster limits on surveillance. Ultimately, Congress passed a long-term extension of intelligence programs without any new reforms.
Last week's House vote of 217-205 was significant not only because of the narrowness of the victory for the Obama administration, but because it created unusual political coalitions. Libertarian-leaning conservatives and liberal Democrats pressed for change against the Republican establishment and Congress' national security experts.
Backing the NSA program were 134 Republicans and 83 Democrats, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who typically does not vote, and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Rejecting the administration's last-minute pleas to spare the surveillance operation were 94 Republicans and 111 Democrats.

MOSCOW (AP) ? The father of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden says on Russian television that he is grateful to the Kremlin for protecting his son.
Speaking on state Rossiya 24 television in remarks broadcast Wednesday, Lon Snowden of Allentown, Pennsylvania, thanked President Vladimir Putin and his government for the "courage" they have shown in keeping his son safe.
Addressing his son, Lon Snowden said that "your family is well and we love you." He added that "I hope to see you soon, but most of all I want you to be safe."
The younger Snowden has been stuck in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport since arriving from Hong Kong on June 23. Russia is considering his request for temporary asylum.

Though we got tired of the word "selfie" in about 1/8000th of a second, it's true that snapping yourself can be tricky, especially on video. Canon wants to aid and abet such vanity with the Legria mini, a 1080p camcorder with an ultra-wide angle lens, flipscreen and built-in stand. To make sure that we, er, you look as good as possible, Canon's equipped it with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, DIGIC DV 4 processor, 12.8-megapixel still shooter, stereo audio and 160 degree wide lens (170 degrees for stills). You'll also get built-in WiFi, an iOS app, DLNA support, time-lapse, slow motion and mirror image recording and playback. There's even a decidedly HTC Zoe-like feature which takes a four second video when you snap a photo, and assembles them together when you're ready. All of that should help keep your Vine, Video on Instagram and other filmic pipelines full. Check the PR and video after the break for more.
