Things are moving right along now! Wrapping up plumbing and electric and getting inspections done, nothing too exciting to report there. Except perhaps the dream I had, in which we were finally moving into the beautiful finished house and unpacking the boxes we’ve been living out of for 9 months…only to find that none of … [Read more…]
Hey everybody! Just popping in to say hello and share some pictures. Progress has purposefully slowed the past couple of weeks due to some travel and other activities, responsibilities, etc. As you might have gathered by now, there is truly never a dull moment with us. Both a blessing and a curse, ha! Even yesterday, … [Read more…]
Shakespeare once mused how all the world is a stage – and between the very public nature of blogging and now the actual state of the house, I’m relating to that verse on both a figurative and literal level… You will see what I mean in a moment… It is done. The Back Of The … [Read more…]
*Edit/Addendum: I’ve realized that on the computer, images look fine. Sometimes, however, some images are upside-down when the post is viewed on a cell phone. On my end, there is no indication this is happening so I apologize! If anyone has any idea why it’s happening (or better yet, how to fix it), please shoot … [Read more…]
Sorry folks – life has been so busy the last couple of weeks! Just wanted to update a tiny bit. Found these fun (and somewhat creepy) markings under layers of wall, and again under the ceiling (standing in the same place but looking upward). I can only assume they were put there by … [Read more…]
Pretty concise title for this post, I know. I never said I could be endlessly clever! So remember our food-filled walls? I mean, how could you forget, it was so pleasing to the eye, so aesthetically dreamy, etc… Up until the corncobs were found in the walls of The Back Of The House, we had … [Read more…]
I’ve dipped a bit into the Master Bedroom area with the previous post on floors but I thought I’d get into this space a bit more since it is one of my favorite spots in the house. I think I’ve mentioned how this is in the oldest part of the building, which was truly built circa 1665 …and you can … [Read more…]
Sorry for the sparse posting! I think I actually started this post over the weekend. I can hardly get through typing a sentence before something pulls me elsewhere. Although, to be honest, there’s not much to report over here this week. With a busy holiday weekend and Nick out of town, plus all of us fighting off … [Read more…]
Busy week with Nick preparing for a short trip and a bug hitting our house. Alas, we have still gotten some work done and have been literally chipping away at the project that is The Back Of The House. I just wanted to mention that this area of this type of house is called a … [Read more…]
Thank you everyone for such encouraging and positive feedback! After going back and forth about doing this, I am glad I decided to go for it. Again, it is so weird to be putting ourselves “out there” in this way; however, being out of your comfort zone is supposed to be a good thing, right?! With … [Read more…]
