Things We Love

Just a few of the reasons we fell in love with the house...

The wood banister- which goes all the way to the third floor!

The fireplace- it has a much more rustic feel than our old house's fireplace (hence the tools that don't match at all... we're working on that!)


The built in shelves

The pretty radiators

The original hardware

The front porch


The property- over five acres (That's a lot of mowing- more on that to come!)

Next up... the things we're working on!

The Journey has Begun!

We've purchased a lovely 1790 farmhouse that has loads of charm, but needs quite a bit of updating. 
I've decided to start this blog so that as we're in the thick of it, and feeling a bit discouraged, we can look back to see what we've accomplished thus far.  Hopefully that will give us enough steam to keep going!
