A good stew is definitely something that should show up on your dinner table at least once in awhile!.

Lots of room for a.And this was our fun discovery of the day:.

Chris noticed the floorboards under the oldest part of the house while we were in the basement..They look pretty interesting from here.I wonder how they’ll look from the top once we get all that peel and stick tile off of every.

So you can see there are a lot of horrible, ugly, back-breaking problems that we’ll have to deal with all over this house, but to tell you the truth, I’m feeling pretty grateful for every one of them..As if having a beautiful country property on which to live out the rest of our days isn’t enough….My mother-in-law has a little place right on the beach, just a short drive away from our new house..

This is how we’ll spend our Summers.. How did we ever get so lucky?I’ve shared some of these photos on my old blog before, when we were going through the home inspection stage of buying our house, but I thought I might just show off a bit again for any newbies out there..

So this is where the magic will happen:.I’m not in love with these photos, but I am in love with this window.

Chris was a little grossed out that I wanted to bring it inside, but how could I not?Just 15 or 16 passes with a rag and some soapy water and we were good to go!

Spidies and spidey webs are no match for a girl with an idea that involves her house..I actually didn’t really know what to do with it, but I knew I wanted to look at it all the time, so I stuck it in the dining room for now with a little twine garland.
