Our Second Home

A 100 year old farmhouse gets a modern traditional update. See the tour here.

Hi there! We moved into this old circa 1920 farmhouse in the summer of 2017, and it is still a work in progress! We are fortunate that a family who owned the house in the 1980-90s put a lot of love and hard work into it and updated most of the necessities (electrical, plumbing, drywall, roofing, etc.), but a lot of time has passed since then, and there is now more work to be done. In addition to catching up on maintenance tasks and putting our own decorative touch on this house, there are also a few parts of this historic house that we would like to restore. I would love to take you on a tour as we update each room during this house journey.

We approach everything in Phase 1 and Phase 2. We are currently in Phase 1 for all rooms, which includes budget friendly refreshes to make things feel like "us." When we get to Phase 2, we will begin bigger renovations and some restoration projects.
