    Organizing the Kitchen Pantry

    ByMary Crozier August 9, 2022August 9, 2022

    I am getting ready for turning 60 pounds of fresh tomatoes into jarred tomato sauce, so having enough room in the pantry is critical. It seems that every few years I need to organize the kitchen pantry. Here is the story of before and after and how I use this small, yet efficient space. The…

    Take a Peek into Our Guest Cottage

    ByMary Crozier August 2, 2022August 3, 2022

    I’ve had a few requests to share pictures of the guest cottage interior. This sweet small building sits in the quiet northwest corner of our property and is very secluded from the main house. We estimate the age of the guest cottage to be from the 1930 to 1940. So let’s take a peek. I…

Like most projects, the work on the back terrace morphed into something bigger…..yet better. To see that post of lockdown…

    A Sorely Needed Terrace Makeover

    ByMary Crozier May 17, 2022May 18, 2022

    We have a lovely space outside of our master bedroom that has been sorely neglected.  The terrace is located on the second story so when outside, it feels like it we are up in the tree tops. It is very private and surrounded by lush foliage. There’s a wonderful view over to the pool house…
