I thought it might be fun to show a quick “what it looks like” to get 130 flowering plants ready for spring! Not pictured is the week it took us to weed all 9 garden beds.🤪 I started this garden last spring, and we do all the work ourselves, so it takes us weeks to get things done, especially with our children desperately needing us the moment we look busy, ha! I planted more this year too, so everything is still very young, but flower gardening truly is one of my greatest joys. My husband usually only does the mulch part - but I don’t like being on camera, so I asked him to help for the reel. Luckily he loves the spotlight 😉🤩 #shingleladyne #52weeksofhome #52weeksofhomeweek18 #springgardening #springgarden #flowergarden #flowergardening
Since our home is in a Shingle Style, we have quite a bit of woodwork throughout. It all needs some major TLC though, ha. But I wanted to focus on my two favorite doors in our home for this weeks #52weeksofhome challenge. I keep missing these challenges, so I’m happy to be participating again. The first door is in our basement, I love the cottage style of it. I haven’t done anything to it yet, but hopefully in the future this space will become a place that I can process the flowers I am growing, as the door leads right out to our garden. The second door is our front door. I haven’t done anything to it yet either, but I love the details and know once I refinish it, it will be dreamy (at least to me). 💛 #52weeksofhomeweek16 #shinglestyle #oldhouses #oldhomes #olddoor #shinglestylearchitecture
We’ve been in Connecticut for a year now, and honestly I can’t believe it. It feels like only a few months have passed. There’s still so much for us to learn about and explore in this tiny state, but one thing I’ve noticed is how critical people who have lived here a long time are about Connecticut beaches, ha! These wee newbies have spent most of this year visiting every beach and every playground that CT has to offer and love it ❤️❤️ #connecticut #newenglandwithlove #newengland #connecticutlife #sisters #childhoodmemories
I spent a year abroad in England attending a small Christian university in the middle of nowhere, needless to say our cafeteria’s daily menu was bleak. I remember watching a student look down at his plate and say with deep despair, “potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, it’s always potatoes.” Ha! And that’s how I feel about all the window issues we have. I find myself often with equal despair saying, “windows, windows, windows, it’s always windows.” Luckily for me, stain glass is much more breathtaking than potatoes 🥔🙃 #shingleladyne #stainglass #stainglasswindow #oldhousecharm #oldhomes #oldhouse #shinglestyle #oldwindow
