Treasure hunting and fixing up old, neglected things.
– A great way to share in the Fall fun when you light up a friend’s day with a kind note or a more cheerful way to remind someone of their chores.Many people dream of making a move to the country, but not many people realize just how possible it is!In this post I outline how we did just that!.
My friends, it may not always feel like it but I’m definitely livin’ the dream.My own dream and one that a lot of other people have too.About three and half years ago we managed to leave our stressful, under-payed, over-worked, over-charged life in the city and buy a big house on a big property.
It’s something I grew up thinking romantic thoughts about and hoping I might be able to experience one day, maybe when I retired.I caught the “restoring and old house” bug early on in life and I know it’s an affliction that a lot of other people have too.
I thought today I’d share our story and our tips just for fun and so you might see how you could do it too if it’s your dream as well..
In the planning stages, it’s all about the money.Actually we had more last year, but I think Chris may have “de-cluttered” some of them.. I’ve been eyeing them up for the last year, secretly thinking I could steal them and use them inside in some kind of rustic, tool-inspired decorating extravaganza.
Never did though.. Then.I saw an image, which I now can’t find, in the last issue of the Pottery Barn catalogue.
I’m a visionary..I ran out to the garage likity split and grabbed those puppies up..
