This post has been a long time coming. Six years in fact! Now that we are finally here in our farmhouse I can tell you it has been hard but totally worth the effort. Our farmhouse was originally built by C’s great grandfather in (we think) 1940. Since that time there had been some cosmetic…
DIY
Lately
It’s been four weeks since we moved back to our freshly renovated forever farmhouse, and we are starting to settle. Starting to remember where things are kept, and to develop little routines and habits in our new abode. We’ve found nooks for most things now (though not everything), and not a day goes by where…
Snippets
We are home. Just. After almost seven months living in holding pattern at a rental property while our farmhouse was renovated, we are back. And it feels good. There are boxes everywhere, and so much more to do, but it doesn’t matter. On Sunday morning, we got up and looked out the windows at the…

Throughout the process, we have tried to balance our desire to maintain the history and integrity of the old house, while at the same time create a home that meets our modern lifestyle needs. We are acutely aware that…
A Renovation Update | February 2017

Another Crochet Blanket
So it turns out that trying to finish a crochet woollen blanket in the middle of a January heat wave and while moving house is not ideal. Who knew?? Ideal or not, the blanket I have been working on for the last 6 months is finally finished, and I must say I’m pretty happy with it….
