Happy Friday, my friends.
I hope you have fun weekend plans.
As for me, last time I checked there was high chance of rain this weekend, so I imagine I’ll be doing fun things that I always enjoy like (duh) cooking or reading a book. I’m reading Everything I Never Told You, and it’s oh so good. Oh, and I’ve got a movie to watch — 20th Century Women starring Annette Bening. I just love her acting, don’t you?
beautiful candlelight
one of the many reasons I look forward to spring
a gorgeous garden and a shed as cute as it can be
they remind me of crepe paper …
barn red … or barns red, as the case may be
itsy bitsy apples
a unique way to display an old ride

Hi Kim, I just stumbled on your website searching for inspiration on dogtrot decor. We call them breezeways in Australia, but having lived in Georgia back in the 90s, I knew where to look to garner ideas. My husband and I are restoring an old historic house built in the first decade of the 20th century in outback Queensland (the farmhouse of a sheep and cattle ranch) and it features two floors, both of which are surrounded by 10ft verandahs and intersected by an ell shaped dogtrot. Not a convention I’ve seen before. The house looks like an old plantation house, but is also referred to as a turn of the century “Queenslander.’ So I was particularly interested in your dogtrot. Ours however is screened at each side and is too cold to use in winter. Upstairs, it is a playroom for our grandchildren as well as being a hallway to the bathrooms, and downstairs still just a junk and tool filled hallway. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) we can’t do a great deal to the fabric of the building as it is heritage listed.
So, thank you. It was a delightful read.
Cheers, Janice.
Your home sounds amazing, Janice! I would love to see photos sometime. Glad I was able to inspire you, if only a little.
They remind me of crepe paper too. 😉
