Bathroom reveal

We have been slowly finishing the bathroom and adding decor as time allows. The walls are a pale yellow and decor elements incorporate antique laundry and sewing pieces collected from family and found antiquing. We kept the bathtub, toilet and vanity cabinet. We painted the vanity gray to match the trim and added a new sink vanity top, lights, fan and mirror.

I used a plain white shower curtain and sewed on five vintage yellow handkerchiefs.

Above the washer and dryer, we added two cabinets and shelves made from boards from the old kitchen and brackets found in the barn.

We hung an old ironing board that we found in the barn and added hooks for towels. A picture made by David's grandmother when she was in school was re-framed to complete the wall.

Maggie's arrival

Margaret May has arrived! We are excited to share that our daughter was born on October 8, 2015. As our blog has thus far focused on house projects, we will start by sharing her nursery and then photos of Margaret herself. 

Her nursery has pale yellow walls and vintage inspired fabric elements. I enjoyed incorporating some antique finds like the carriage and baby scale with vintage inspired designs like the Jenny Lind crib and dresser and 1920's style fabrics. Her bed skirt, quilt, curtains and diaper bag were sewn by my mom and sister.
