Lights Around the Pergola Swing

This pergola swing has been an ongoing project.  Do you remember when we started this.  I believe it was July 4 weekend.  Then it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.  Honestly, the project got put on hold for WEEKS because of the mud around that area.  We then got the brick pad done under […]

The Beginning of Our Raised Vegetable Garden

Project Check List: What’s Left on our To-Do List on the Chicken Coop

You know as well as I do what is coming.  Living here in Ohio, the cold weather will be here before we know it.  It’s not that we can’t do anything outside in the cold weather, because we can and we still do.  BUT, there are certain things we want completely wrapped up before the […]

Woods and Whites Front Porch Decor

We have been thoroughly enjoying our front porch of the cottage this year.  I did a little rearranging that makes this space a little more functional.  Every year, I usually add something different for our spaces in terms of flower pots, pillows, rockers, etc.  It gives it a different look but still incorporates the things […]
