Today's stop on our house tour is the 1st floor guest room. I spent months planning this room and shopping auctions and local antique stores for all of the special touches. The bed is an iron antique reproduction and is dressed with vintage white...

The cupola has found its place on top of the garage roof. The walnut floors are stained and ready to finish. I love the warmth of walnut...and I love the mix of heartwood (brown) and sapwood (white). This picture was taken looking down on the powder room...
- Snug As A Bug
"Snug as a bug in a rug"....that is how I would describe life in our little A-frame. We have all the essentials in a very tiny space. I thought I would give you a little tour of our living quarters for the next year while our log home is being built....

Making the Most of a Rainy Day
Halloween gave us a drizzly, foggy, soggy day...
the kind of day that keeps everyone under cover
or indoors
with the expectation of room service!
I made sure that everyone received their treats,
and then spent the day indoors giving our guest room a makeover.
In 2009, when we built our log home,
I longed for one room that was super-feminine, shabby-chic.
And so I planned that one of our guest rooms would be just that.
The finished room looked like this...
The kids dubbed it "the purple room" and drew straws over who would have to sleep there.
The antique dresses on the walls apparently made everyone uneasy....
envisioning them floating through the room on their own like an apparition.
And so after 4 years of living with the purple room,
I decided that I am "over it" and set out to give the room a facelift.
It now looks like this....
I have to say, I like it much better!
(And no ghostly apparitions to worry about!)
And yes, life is good!
PS: Happy November 1st!!
Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
Have a terrific weekend....
we'll be back Monday with more Tails from the Farm!
