Also, that yellow trim around the window will be painted gray, it just got put back up. The pantry to the left is because the depth of the wall between the door and sidewall isn't enough to fit a standard cabinet. It was between that and a bath vanity, but they didn't have a vanity in this cabinet s...

Thanks guys. We took some time but we are behind so not a lot. It might be better that way, not dwelling on it. We just spent a couple days in MD with our nieces so back to work now. Getting there on the kitchen and upstairs bath. Here is the current state of the kitchen. Butcher block counters to d...

I just remember seeing it a lot growing up and for some reason my grandparents always pointed it out. They were both super into plants, although they didn't really have huge gardens (t...

Found the blog will have to read about it. It needs sill repair so everything is coming out including floors. It's small though so that is a bonus. Personal stuff. Kind of behind, kind if will now be part of me. Got pregnant on by but lost it a few weeks in. We are OK but it stopped me in my tracks ...

If it is larger in height and...

I have. Mixed results, found I needed to bring them in at night or if not home due to theft. It did work though. Now I save them aside for a plant swap instead. You might also check houzz or with a local garden club to see if there is one in the area. The one I go to I found on gardenweb, which is n...

Here are some from the cottage.
