The autumn weather has seen a slow-down in the vegetable garden, and a bit of a scramble to finish a few outdoor projects before winter’s cold sets in. It’s also brought a renewed focus on some interior work that has been idling in the background. We like to imagine spending the winter warming our toes by the fire while sipping cocoa and reading great literature. And yes, there will be some of that. But the truth is, the list of potential indoor improvements is long, and it would be both wise and satisfying to make a start.
If houses have spirits (I think old ones like yours must), this house's spirit must be beaming at the thoughtful and respectful care you are bestowing on it. It is such a delightful journey to take with you two. I like how you don't dash into anything headlong but are taking the time to do things right so that there aren't regrets or ghastly mistakes.
Laura and Chris ... Love your blog!!! Especially loved this last one and and the beams in the bedroom ... Awesome!!
Thanks a lot, Carol. We love the beams, too. They're original to the house and we're so glad they have been left exposed over the years.

That's very kind of you to say, Tui. ❤️
I admire your gardening, but I must say the interior stuff is more my jam. Looking forward to seeing more transformations!
We'll do our best! LOL.
