Another big demo day on the farmhouse 💪🏻🏡

Another big demo day on the farmhouse 💪🏻🏡
.
We took off the 2 layers of drywall in the family room and removed the ceiling of the porch.
.

I keep thinking we must be done then we manage to fill another dump trailer full of stuff...”Are we there yet?”
.
There is certainly a special beauty to that exposed stripped down look of a 140 year old farmhouse. Mortise and tenon joins in the hand hewn beams and check out the wavy natural edge slab with the bark still on in the last picture. Great stuff. Maybe it’s so pretty I just want to leave it like this and call it done! 😂😂😂

This weeks challenge from @amyleigh_1902victorian for #52weeksofhomeweek28 is “Black and White”.
.
There is nothing I enjoy more in my house than B&W photos of my loved ones! Always the perfect decor to put a smile on my face.
.
When we got my planner desk area built, I wanted a picture ledge for B&W’s of my grandbabies. The newest baby always gets the 8x10 in center stage 😍
.
Dee built me this great little ledge and I see those darlings every time I come in the house from the garage.
.
I also recently added a print that I picked up on Etsy from @daninthedesert . I love the bold black and white graphic and the significance of what it portrays for our family. An interesting side note was finding out the artist was a college roommate of my son-in-law. Small world!

The end of another day of back breaking labor work

The end of another day of back breaking labor working on the farmhouse.
.
SWIPE⬅️ to check out what we hauled out of the basement through the decomposed bilco door that we need to replace.
.
YUP, a 280lb furnace! Man o man, no need to go to a gym! And those @forearmforklift are the best! If you haven’t ever used them, give them a try! We never move anything heavy without them... we have never set them up like this though...I don’t think they recommend using them this way 😬
.
We are getting ready to make some cash 💵💰💵by doing a metal run on Friday. Lots of copper pipes cut out of the farmhouse, old air conditioners, the furnace and miscellaneous metal. 🤞🏻Fingers crossed for a good pay day 😂

These are the things no one likes to show on IG! It only took me a day to patch up the inside but let’s see how long it takes me to get around to getting this finished up.

My Fiddle Fig has new leaves!!! It has been 6 months since I picked up this Fiddle Fig. It was my third and self proclaimed final try...(I had killed two in the previous year) three strikes and I would be out.
.
I have been faithfully tending it and watching for any progress one way or the other and finally a few days ago I noticed new little shoots of leaves pushing forward in two separate places. 🌱
.
It’s not over til it’s over but I am at this moment calling this plant challenge a win!

We spent about 8 years living abroad in 3 different countries and traveling the world and each summer we would come home. And I would cry with gratitude when I sang the Star Spangled Banner.

A little bit of touch up inside and out and no one will ever know it was a thing 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

#52weeksofhomeweek27 is “Summer” “Make hay

#52weeksofhomeweek27 is “Summer”

“Make hay while the sun shines” is a saying that applies to summers and our renovation story here in Pennsylvania. We have to use the warm and the long days to get all the outdoor projects done. This summer so far we have landscaped the entire island out front inside the circular drive and built the goats grazing area. What we still have to finish while the weather is good, is some exterior structural items on the farmhouse and finish the exterior paint job on the main house.
.
Besides all the hard physical labor, Summer is also full of hammock time, meals on the front porch, fire pit dinners and fireflies. Summer is also meant for beautiful days like today when you set the to-do list aside and hook up the boat and head to nearby Lake Wallenpaupack and take a deep breath and soak in the sun. The list was still there when we got home 😉

#52weeksofhomeweek26 ELEMENTS! .

Water, Earth, Air and Fire. The four traditional Greek Elements is how I am interpreting this weeks challenge. We sure love our property here in eastern PA so I am sharing a few shots from around here that have to do with the elements that make it up.
.
1- Water -We have a small creek that runs through the property. It runs when it rains and boy does it ever run then! We wish it would run all the time, I love the sound of a babbling brook 😍
.
2-Earth-A shot of the lower meadow. We have been clearing it a little bit at a time and have some future plans for it but for now we enjoy letting the goats graze there and using it for our shooting range ( not when the goats are grazing there!)
.
3-Air- Here is a little reno before and after that I worked on this week. We have blowers on the fireplaces. An electrical fan system that pushes the hot air out into the room. The covers were rusted and nasty so I repainted them! So much better!
.
4-Fire- Last year we put in a fire pit in the upper meadow and we love entertaining and relaxing there, such a fun spot to enjoy the outdoors!

Doing a little interior decorating in the barn this morning 🐐😂
.
Mounted on black velvet are the remains of the animals that we found in this space when we cleaned it out a couple of months ago. .

I decided we should have a little shrine to the past barn in the goats space. Who doesn’t like honoring the past when you are doing a restoration? figured the 140 year old barn deserves that too!
In the second picture you can see how I used one of the old window frames taken out of this room that we removed to make new ones as a frame for my “bones” artwork 😊

Keeping it real here!
I know this will not be my most “liked” post...heck, I don’t even like it 😂 but I thought it was only fair to share what I am feeling this morning. A feeling that often steals over me at random times. .

There is a high you get when renovating. Each completed project or even part of a project brings such satisfaction. Then there are honestly those down moments when you see how far you have to go and everything that is lacking. .
I was upstairs making up beds this morning in between sets of houseguests when I realized my critical eye was seeing all the ugly instead of any of the progress.
1-We bought replacement light fixtures for this bathroom about 9 months ago. I took the plates off to paint the ceiling and this is where I abandoned this project. ☹️
2-We ripped up all the damaged flooring and the railings on the upstairs balcony when we first moved in. I fantasized about doing yoga on the balcony at sunrise...that won’t be any time soon...
3-We ripped out the baseboard heating when we moved in and still haven’t patched the baseboards upstairs. And check out that chair railing that is just hanging out there and doesn’t match anywhere else in the house because we tore the rest out !
4-That air conditioning unit!😩I thought we would finally get it out of there this Spring, we have had central air for a year and a half. The glass place has been closed during the pandemic and honestly...I probably wouldn’t have gotten to it anyway! And the paper blinds, aren’t they fetching? I used to have a business making soft furnishings, I haven’t done a single thing in this house, I hope I get to the “fun” stuff sometime.
5-Outdated ceiling fans are going to be replaced with flush mounts...some time...
6- The door frames were painted during an all-nighter (hadn’t done that since college) before the carpet got installed. Evidently, my most quality work does not get done at 4:00 am. Our plan is to go back and change out the hinges to match the new door knobs... we ordered the hinges...
.
Well, the unglamorous life of the diyer. I am not over here crying, just going to put on my big girl paint pants and get to work today!

#52weeksofhomeweek25 Kitchens! .

After 4 months of living without one while we tried to remediate all the cat poop 💩 I just couldn’t stand it any more! I love to cook and the kitchen is my happy place so we bit the bullet and sunk a lot into quickly finishing this space. .
I love it every day! I love all the great lighting @wayfair. I love the commercial look without the giant price tag of my @zlinekitchen oven and range. I love the backsplash, “divine windows” @glazziotiles. I love my pot filler, thank-you @deltafaucet.
I love how we incorporated old barn wood from the property to hide the structural beam we needed to put in when we pulled down the wall. I love how we repeated the weathered wood in the custom range hood we built. .
I love the @potterybarn wool runner that ties in my blue island. I love my @anthropologie_home knobs that add that little bling. .

Every day I love this space 😍
My little happy place! .

We’ve been busy with the kids (and grandkids) outside lately enjoying the great weather.
.
We made an enclosure for them (the furry kids) 😂 so they can enjoy the outdoors without us having to worry about them.
.
We also found this ramp in the barn and took the table part out of the carriage house. They love it and play on it and sleep on the table in the shade. Happy little kids! 🐐

That kind of day....when your farmhouse is a torn down hot mess and you have to stop other projects to paint some oil based @kilzbrand on the dining room paneling to make you feel better that one tiny part of the house feels and smells clean and fresh....

Sometimes amidst all the rubble I just have to do something to tide me over. Something that will give me a glimpse at the possibilities this old place has stored within her, you know what I mean?
.
It was one of those days...

I can relate, most people cannot appreciate what it really takes to rehab anything let alone an entire property. Nearing the end of my own farm overhaul.
Nice job!
