Found Treasures

The perks of owning a 215 year old farmhouse? Treasures you find in the barn! Unfortunately the previous owners took a lot, fortunately they were awful decorators. What treasures have you found?  

Project Master Bedroom 

Moving on to the master bedroom redo and blue is such a lovely, relaxing color for a bedroom. I want to keep things a bit masculine but still authentic to the period of the house. Mixing prints is scary but I love the way these all work together. Tartan plaid, suiting wool, French grainsack and […]

The Prop Closest

We have wonderful friends of ours, a food stylist and prop stylist (power couple, right?). They live down the street from us in the city and upstate, lucky us! We recently got together with them for a fabulous dinner in their lovely city brownstone, they’re also doing a big “edit” and need to get rid […]

Apple Trees and Hydrangeas

We’re already preparing for spring time at the farmhouse! Garden preparation and seed ordering all starts just after the holidays and also get’s us excited for spring to come (I’m over the snow!). I decided to plant a small apple orchard in the yard this spring, we had a few apple trees on the property […]

The Book

The projects and book are getting larger by the day! I made tabs for different rooms in the house and filed everything […]

These miniature cut-outs were constructed by skilled artists in a matter of minutes working purely by eye. Read more about silhouettes here. These collections have most recently become popular again thanks to several publications featuring this […]

Buffet Table

I’ve been searching high and low for a french style buffet table. This lady was found at my new favorite antique shop Heirloom Marketplace & Auction Company in Jeffersonville, NY. The piece is in fabulous condition and looks like someone stripped the paint off giving it a perfect patina finish. Next? what to go on top!

Wedding Day

After a year of planning and many, many DIY projects, we tied the knot! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fall day. Our original plan was a farmhouse wedding upstate but our heart was still city living. We found an amazing loft space used for photo shoots, Parlay Studios. The space was industrial. […]

We’re Back!

So… for those of you who know us, the past few months have been pretty insane. We planned the wedding of our dreams, I took on a new and exciting career, the holidays and just getting back on a normal schedule. The blogs been on hiatus but if you follow us on Instagram you’ve seen […]
