A new house with new decor means we are up to our necks in boxes, decisions and miscalculations. But we’ve gotten some things hung, found a few treasures from the past and are making progress if slowly! #homedecor #interiordesign #interiordecor #decoration

I’ve moved into a smaller home and still have boxes unpacked. I use feeling bad because of it. I live alone and my best friend who helped me pack has been sick for the past year. So I’m doing it my self. I’m putting in a new kitchen because the cabinets are small and there was a unusable space that I’m going to put in a pantry. Seeing your home makes me feel better and not so unorganized. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Be sure to use an exterior primer before you paint again it will look and hold much better
Lowes hs a porch and floor paint
You could take too a music box repair person
O please do not change your pantry doors. They are beautiful and bi-fold doors will never look as elegant.
Have you thought about a loveseat for the parlor?
Hi Linda! Love your new home and how it's coming together!! About the candles, I'm sure it might have been mentioned in the comments (they are so many so couldn't go through all of them!) – these are candles used in orthodox churches. When you walk into a typical greek church for example (I'm Greek), there are some huge, tall stands next to the doors where they stack them up and have a slot in the middle for the coins. You buy a few and then light them up in a table covered in a sort of sand pit, adorned with pictures etc. and stick them in the sand. If the cup came with the same purchase, it's very likely a communion cup! Is there a greek orthodox church nearby? How interesting! Anyway, love the parlour, as well as the old nursery photos! Take care! <3
Your animal prints in your broom closet are Pop Art by Andy Warhol if you didn't already know.
The bathroom outlet if it is a GFI with the buttons. Push the buttons to reset outlets don't have power if tripped off.
“Artway” is a favored term over “hallway.”
Absolutely, that is a vanity bench. It's very nice. I looked for one forever. I finally decided to use an antique chair that needs painting and reupholstering.
Blessings on your new home.. and prayers and blessing to you and your family. Your such an inspiration! 🙏
Linda, the cottage is looking "just like you".
Can you give me a source for the wicker shelves in your laundry? I have a perfect place for one like this. Thank you.
BATHTUB – Hi Linda. My last house had a really deep tub, like yours, and yes it was hard to fill with hot water. My issue was not the faucet, but the fact that the water tank was too small for the capacity of the tub. Before changing out your tub facuet, you may want to look at either increasing the temp of your hot water tank, or getting a dedicated tank for the tub, which is what I had to do.
LAUNDRY ROOM – not sure where that door leads to? but if it's outside your laundry room might make a great mud room. You could stack your washer and dryer and have a cloest installed beside them, rather than having cabinets above W/D.
Congrats on getting settled and having some trees planted too…. all so exciting for you and Jamie, and us – your fans!
Love the blinds – can you please share your source. I have been looking for some like this forever! Thanks Linda
I love the l little lamp on the vanity, and you have one in your kitchen too. Can you tell me about it and where I can get it?
I just watched in England a mudlarker found one with same shape . She called it an onion bottle. YouTube —-nikola white. She’s so much fun to watch if you ever take time to put your feet up with the new move and spring
Linda I too am in the end process of moving to a new home. Just like you leaving a beloved home and gardens of 32 years. I, like you am in my 60’s. Your emotions of leaving your home paralleled with mine as we were moving same time as you. Love, love your blogs. You are a true inspiration and wealth of information. I also am a thrifter and avid gardener. I look forward to your work in progress in your new home and gardens. I will be working here in Wisconsin right along with you on my blank slate. Congratulations on your new venture.
I moved a little over a year ago…the nesting is certainly a labor of love!!
I think the cherry lacquer is from the 1950s.
