House Hunting

So for a while now my husband & I have been house hunting. This house is in the village of Sayville, my husband commutes to NYC so it’s a little closer. We still love where we live now, Bellport so we may end buying there.
But for now this is the house that has caught my eye.
I love this door, it’s the original with the “Letter” pocket. As like staircases I adore doors. I like to think about all who have come and gone in it’s over 100 year existance.

Ahhh, just beautiful!!!!

The details in this house are in amazing condition. Look at this door and the moldings. And who could overlook the original stunning glass knob.

Floors definately need to be sanded, much needs to be done, but look at these columns.

Again, original door with the skeleton key, probably not too safe but very cool!

Dining room, I can picture my table & chairs and big family dinners.

Ok, this is the problem area, it needs a little rearranging, lots of paint but what potential! I love how the frig always seems to just be hanging out all by it’s lonesome in these old houses. Love the windows, not crazy about looking at someone else’s A/C but…..

Huge front porch with half of it screened in, pretty cool. With all the bugs here it’s a valuable space to have. A little settling has occurred but that is to be expected.

Diamond in the rough.

Stay tuned……

Puppy Update + New Food Contributor

It’s been a crazy week, so much going on with my Sherwin-Williams makeover and also another BIG makeover I am working on with Rebuilding Together. John’s birthday was Thursday and now my boys are off for the week, phew! The last 2 weeks were also a little nuts as I was filming for my Abstract Art Class . You will be really surprised by some of the personal things I open up about and some of the tools I use to create art if you sign up for this class, which I so hope you will.
Anywho….I have been meaning to give an update on our puppy Denver. I have had so many questions from where he sleeps, to his energy level & temperament, to if we are still happy we made the decision. As most of you know John didn’t really want another dog. He liked being able to go away and not worry about doggie care and he also didn’t miss the chaos a dog can sometimes bring to an already hectic family life. But…I pushed for it. I wanted my boys to have this experience. With Murphy it was like they woke up one day and there he was, already in his senior years. They still loved him tons but never had that puppy experience. I am not going to lie, I was nervous being the one who ultimately made the decision on this. So nervous! You hear stories about puppies and how they uproot your life & change the dynamics of the whole house. I needed and hoped so desperately for a good experience with our new little pup. Well….it has been 7 months that we have had him and he is now 9 months old. He is the biggest love and we all adore him so, even John.
