So, blog-worthy things happen around here pretty much ten times a day, but time to actually document and share them… not so much. Anyway, here’s one thing! Oh yes. That’s original hardwood there. Isn’t that kinda the dream? You buy the big old country house in need of love, pull back some of the ugly […]

Hey hey. I just wanted to pop in and show you a few pics from around the property right now. I took these a few days ago as the leaves were starting to really get fally. Here’s our house on a beautiful sunny Fall day. You’ve seen our mudroom entrance way already, but I guess […]

Yup. We live in a 100 year old house and we have no fireplace. How is that possible? Now, we have an old unfunctioning chimney, just no fireplace. It’s OK, house, I still love you. I decided I still needed something mantle-ish to accommodate my decorating needs, so Chris built me a little something. The […]

Well, we’re now officially into our first Fall in the country and so far, it’s pretty much awesome. Of course the decorating festivities continue as always. Nothing new there. This time we’re going to visit the mudroom off the front kitchen entrance. Let’s get to it! I started out a couple of weeks ago by […]

Right now I have myself a big ol’ case of the next-year-I’ll-do-betters. Inside, at our house, there’s pretty much nothing that indicates the pre-fall-ness of the season. Or the the Summeryness of the season either for that matter. OK, we’ve only been in this house for a month and two days, so I’ll cut myself […]

This is our barn. Well, no. I lied. This is the barn across the creek from our house. The 150 acre property with the barn was owned by the family that used to own our house for the last 180 years or so, or at least that’s what we hear. 25 years-ish ago, they sold […]

Since coming to the new house, I find myself making excuses to do the laundry as often as I can….     Do you love your laundry too?

If we never would have moved, we would have been comfortable. We would have had all the little day-to-day, mundane details of life worked out. When to cut the grass, how often to vacuum the floors, where to fold the laundry. I would have made about 30 different amazing back-to-school crafts by now. Kennedy’s closet […]
