Yes, I know, I've been bad about posting. But I have a good excuse. I sold my city home last month and moved into this adorable house in a small town.
After almost 7 years of having the best of both worlds - weekdays in the city and weekends in the country - I decided to simplify and "consolidate" my life by moving to a small town that is commuting distance to D.C. I feel like I'm finally home.
This house is so special. The left half of the house was built in the 1700's as a one-and-a-half story log cabin. In the 1800's, they raised it to two stories, built on the right half, and added the siding. The well is the original well for the town, where people used to water their horses.
One of the coolest things about the house is that inside, in a few rooms, the log walls are exposed. Here is a photo of the dining room that I took when I first saw the house.
I have many projects in my future, but it's mostly fun stuff. The house is in great shape, and I look at it as I'm just taking it over the finish line.
Fiona loves it here. One of her favorite things is that there is a front and a back staircase, which is perfect for games of "I have something I'm not supposed to have - try and catch me!!"
