The big tree in the Living Room.

   

This is the feather tree in the old guest room.

   

The new guest room.

   

Another photo of the new guest room.  I have two of the three curtains finished.  Got to make that third curtain!

   

The new guest room again.

   

This is my Christmas gift from Carol Sims.  She made me a fabulous pillow stuffed with cloves.  It smells wonderful!  I thinks it's a Not Forgotten Farm pattern.  I LOVE it!!

   

This is my Christmas gift from Art.  I love this sampler and can't wait to reproduce it!  I'm such a lucky girl!

   

This antique birdcage was my Christmas gift to myself!  I just couldn't resist it!

   

The Summer Kitchen door.  It's almost impossible to take a full photo of the summer kitchen because it's so close to the house.  Since it's icing out now, I didn't venture too far out the back door!

   

I just finished painting this kitchen window this morning.  I plan to paint the rest of the kitchen soon, but not until after the Holidays.

   

This is the Kugel Tree in the Living Room. 

   

The top of the pewter cupboard in the Dining Room.

   

The white feather tree in the Dining Room.

   

The Laundry Room window.  The cool thing about stone houses is the deep window wells.  They are lots of fun to decorate!

   

This is a window in the Living Room.  I still need to add greens.  A better photo coming soon!

   
Our House was built in 1804.  We believe it was the tenant house for the stone house across the street which was built in 1785.

 

   
Side View

This shot shows the addition that was added to the house.  We haven't been able to learn the year it was added, but we suspect in was in the 1820's.  You can also see the new red we have chosen for the house trim.  Now we just have to finish painting!

   

This is the back of our property taken just as the sun was coming up.  Rosie and I hike the fields every morning.  Winter wheat is growing now.
