Here’s a little reminder of what the dining room

Here’s a little reminder of what the dining room at the farmhouse used to look like. This was taken when we first bought the house and had all the rooms painted white. I also switched out all the lighting in the house. We finally got some sun today so I’ll take photos to show you the transformation shortly!

So here’s a little sneak peek of what I’ve bee

So here’s a little sneak peek of what I’ve been up to at the farmhouse….. Color!!! 😲 There are more rooms to paint but these are the two we got done last weekend. I’ll post full room shots once we get back down there this weekend and add the finishing touches…… I’ve gotten some questions about the farmhouse in relation to the new house we’re building. In case you’re confused, what I refer to as the farmhouse is an almost 100-year-old house that’s on the property where we’re building the new house. It’s our weekend place and where we lived through the lockdown. Once the new house is built, it will become the guest house. Okay, I’m going to stop typing the word “house” now! 🤪 Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊 #paintalltherooms

I had put a lot of decorating projects on pause the past year, thinking I needed to focus on building the new house. Well, you know how that’s going 🙄 so I decided I’m done waiting! It’s time to get on with living. So lots of changes are coming both here and at the farmhouse. Stay tuned and have a good week, friends!

Last night, we attended the opening night of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and as it was September 11th, the concert began with a moment of silence followed by the Star Spangled Banner. It was such a highly emotional moment, reflecting on the 20th anniversary on top of everything we’ve collectively endured the past year and a half. Everyone has a story of that fateful day. I was in our apartment uptown and my husband was at his office in midtown. He had a clear view of the towers and I remember being on the phone with him as he witnessed the second tower fall. Twenty years on, what I remember most is how the city came together in the days and months that followed. Our big, beautiful city became an intimate community and I loved it even more fiercely. There was so much love, support, and compassion….. truly the best of humanity. And I was reminded of this again last night as the concert progressed from Bach to Tchaikovsky to Ravel (with Itzhak Perlman conducting, no less). That to me is the power of the arts. “A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe #neverforget #iloveny

Wow. September 1. How? I think most of you know I

Wow. September 1. How? I think most of you know I like to keep things positive here on these squares but TBH this summer has been a sh** show and sometimes we just have to call a spade a spade. Between the news and personal dramas, it’s been a lot so I’ve been hiding out which is what I do when the world gets to be too much. Among other things, construction on our country house has been delayed yet again and I’m feeling pretty defeated. I know how inconsequential this is with everything going on in the world but I wanted to at least give you an update since I went silent after excitedly announcing that construction “started” a few weeks back. Ha! I know everything will work out in the end and I don’t overlook the fact that we have this home we love. I’ve been decluttering and zhuzhing more than usual here, which has always been its own form of therapy for me. So that’s what I’ve been up to the past month. How have you all been? Anyone actually enjoy the hot vax summer that we were promised? #hanginthere

At the beginning of this whole house build process

At the beginning of this whole house build process, I had my mind set on a white slab with gray veining for the counters and backsplash but more than a year in (😣) I’ve decided to go with a warmer veining. I think it’ll tie in beautifully with the wood tones. Case in point: this amazing kitchen by @talirothdesigns.

After a lot of back and forth, I’ve decided on l

After a lot of back and forth, I’ve decided on light to mid wood tones for the kitchen with plenty of white throughout. This image is making me feel good about my choice. 😊🤍🤎 #FTRBCountryHomeInspo

I’ve been in the weeds with budgets and schedule

I’ve been in the weeds with budgets and schedules and haven’t had any time to consider design lately 😣 but the good news is construction starts next week!!! 🙏🏻 🤞🏻🍀 This weekend, I’m just going to look through my inspiration files and visualize the end result…… you know, the fun parts of building a house 😉…… and taking lots of deep breaths. 😊🧘🏻‍♀️ Have a great weekend, friends!
