Farm House Warming

Much love to all the friends and family who came out the farm to help us celebrate.

I love free stuff : My dining room hutch

I pride myself on being able to find a use for just about anything. When I look around my house, I see 2 pieces of furniture that I actually purchased new. Most items were quietly sitting in a basement or a room that didn't get used until their owners decided to pass them my way. The hard part is that after I redo them, they try to take them back!

Bathroom semi-redo

The artist in me has a hard time not planning how I will decorate rooms. But while we go through the renovation process it's only logical not to paint, hang photos, etc  *sigh*

Then Jason made the mistake of telling me that the main floor bath will be last room we will deal with and that it could be 5 years before anything happens in that room.

What did you say? Get my paint brush? Okay!

Oct 10. The day the gorgeous sunrise was only rivaled by an equally magnificent sunset.

Man down!

Okay, so it's not a man down but chimney #1 is coming down. This is the same chimney that gave us our lovely leaky wall waterfall feature in the pantry. The house has 3 chimney's in total and none are in use.  So, it's coming down.

One of the most beautiful things about our farm is the bounty of items that we have lying around & can salvage for future use. I'm excited to reuse these blocks and build an kickin' outdoor grill next Spring.
