Had to document what we have been focused on around the house the last few months. We have spent most of our time working on the brick patio – Dale re-did the entire border, we power washed, added sand and added some new plants. I was thrilled to see our transplanted iris and peonies doing okay, there were even some blooms! And inside I had a few great estate sale finds (mirror, entry table, bowl and silver tray), I got some wallpaper and roman blind samples, and we got all our tubs refinished. The grand finale was scoring a beautiful Waterford crystal chandelier on marketplace!
Our New Home
We moved (not far!) into a new home. It’s a 100 year old Tudor beauty and we can’t wait to make it our own. While definitely not a fixer-upper, it is somewhat of a blank canvas and the yard and patio need some love. Here are a few snippets from our first months of slowly moving in. The fully furnished formal living room and dining room photos were taken when we were looking at the home, I’ll be needing to design these two spaces. I can’t wait for all the memories we will make here!
Right off the bat I had some major estate sale and FB marketplace wins including this beautiful blue velvet couch and a couple light fixtures. The home has a million sconces (some of which I love!) but a lot of new off the shelf lighting put in for listing that I’m slowly working to replace with vintage pieces.
