Welcome to our old farmhouse, circa 1880. We've only just moved here this summer (2008) so please be patient... this is a huge work-in-progress! (Click to enlarge any photo.)
You'll find this table, above, on our front porch, The Sleeping Porch, we named it.
Hydrangea bush at a corner of the porch.
Step into the front door and you'll be inside the living room:
And just beyond, through the pocket doors, is our dining room.
Keep going and you'll find our kitchen.
Be sure to note the groovy orange counter tops. heh. To be changed later.
To the right, here's our baking pantry, built-in cabinets are on the left.
Now here's a quick peek at the downstairs master bedroom, which is awfully small for a 'master' anything.
And the attached bathroom (also with a door off the kitchen):
Now, back in the kitchen we'll take the closet stairs and find our upstairs guest room:
Our Little Blue Library at the Top of the Stairs. A half-bath someday.
Now back down the stairs, out the back door....take a long-ish walk...
... and you'll step into the back meadow, home of wildflowers, rabbits, garter snakes and lots of tiny frogs and toads.
Back closer to the house you'll find my garden.
Beside it, the barn and patio.
Our barn loft.
Behind the barn is the Bunny Pasture, where bunnies hop and frogs jump out of the way of my lawnmower. Well, usually they make it in time...
In front of the garden, the orchard.
The driveway, which I enjoy pretending is a country road while I stroll to the mailbox.
And the huge crab apple tree outside the bay window where we've hung birdfeeders and where we watch the birds shove each other away from the food. :)
...come again for more rooms, more yard and more changes. I hope you enjoyed your visit!
