ew house update. We now have a beautiful Dutch door leading to the kitchen–such a friendly way to enter a house. The stone pathway and stairs will be finished by the end of the day–so exciting. I love a kitchen entry, don’t you. Before the renovation there was no back entry to the house–just a …
o you like feathers? Well, do I have a deal for you. My son always started his fundraising efforts with that phrase when he was trying to raise funds for the latest school fundraiser–oh, I miss those days. My friend Sally Johannessen of ‘Dovetail Antiques’ in Cashiers, North Carolina is selling these beautiful guinea feathers …
ack to the mountains this Friday for House Crush. This poplar bark charmer has always been on my ‘favorites’ list. The entrance is marked by two stone columns topped with old French roof–ridge tiles featuring roosters. The grounds include ancient rhododendron and boxwood under planted with pachysandra and hosta–gorgeous! The cutest little guest house is …
couldn’t wait to post these update photos. The new kitchen-family room floors have been installed and they are beautiful. Just wait until you see the before and after pictures below. The before of the kitchen looks almost like a dungeon with all of the faux stone on the ceilings. The after just looks so clean …
thought this day would never come! Almost all of the new doors and windows have been installed. I love the new 12′ door overlooking the back deck, it takes the place of the sliding glass door and the angular ‘faux’ fireplace–gorgeous. The new back entry door and the front door are both Dutch doors–so charming. …

eachtree Battle Antiques was the latest hot spot on my ‘shop till you drop’ whirlwind. I am still looking for so many things for the mountain house–chandeliers, lantern, outside lighting, potracks … the list seems to be never ending. Just when I find all the things I need on one list, ten more things are …
elcome to House Crush Friday. Today’s home is a very charming Cape Cod Colonial. Can’t you just hear the Ocean and smell the sea air. The cobblestone drive and white picket fence wind around the property and welcome you to the shutter surrounded front door–so very welcoming. As you follow the drive around the house, …
oday I was visiting a few shops looking for inspiration for the new house. That sounds really good, but actually was just an excuse to go shopping. I have missed my shopping lately. The house has been a big time–eater these past few weeks, so I was up with the sun hurrying out the door, …
allelujah, we finally have walls! It has been a long time since I posted a mountain house update, but today is the day. The electrical was such a tangle of worms that the whole house needed to be rewired. It took weeks to locate every switch and wire, but it is off of the ‘Fire …
