Oh, Emerson. You were so right.

"A house is built with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams," Emerson said. When you see a hinge like this, you buy the house. We're ready to move in and build our home.

There are stories here, and we can't wait to build more. Join us on our journey of updating and restoring the buildings and grounds of our farmhouse.

My husband and I are educators with a total of almost 50 years in the field, and this will be our third 100+ year old home. Thankfully, that buys him summers off. We love the old, we love the stories, and we love the work. Although this house is cosmetically the best one we have purchased, it has some of the biggest pre-move-in-project lists to date. When you see doors like this, how can you not swoon?

Follow us on this adventure!
