When we decided to take the middle bedroom upstairs and make it a master bath, it sounded easy enough. It was anything but easy. It was the hardest, yet most rewarding, part of this farmhouse renovation.
Once again, it was the old boards that stole my heart.
Rebekah,
This is just beautiful!! I just love the size of the bathroom. Fascinating the things you find behind walls! I live in an old house as well, 1875. I have a clawfoot bathtub and I call the bathroom, "my office" when I take a book and unwind in the tub. There is such a peaceful feeling about having a bathroom as a bit of a sanctuary so to speak. Yours looks wonderful, inviting and warm. Love reading your posts! Snow dancer looks happy!!

What a wonderful beginning to a day -getting to read your posting – thanks for sharing. It ALL is so -so -so – well homey!!! and nostalgic. Just a thought about a mirror/mirrors for the wash area – first of all LOVE the side table use – if you can find JUST the right one will be great but if not one over each sink looks super too – oh I bet you already thought of that – it’s just the remodeler/decorator in me that says things like that. What a lucky old house to have someone love it so much. You know I can almost see where the unicorn horn can come out – what a lovely picture – looks great in purple. Will be waiting for your next posting. God Bless.
OMG!!!! It is all looking so beautiful and farm housey!!! I love everything you’ve done… A+++++++++!!!!
Keep up the good work… and give Snow Dancer the Unicorn a pat for me!
love Deb
Oh Rebekah, you and your hubby have created such beautiful rooms and I love how you desire to hold on to some of the original wood and other nostalgia. Such a work of love in progress. In our 1920’s small home, we have an old farmhouse double porcelain sink with metal cabinets and there is no way I would replace that pitted sink with a new one. I can just imagine all the women that stood where I stand dreaming while washing dishes. Thank you for sharing your dreams come true with us!!!
Fabulous! What a wonderful retreat from the world! It’s too bad you have to cover the window by the tub. I was hoping you could convince the church that you’re re-enacting John the Baptist’s activities each day with an immersion baptism–uh, bathing.
Oh, my! Would I love to live in your house. You have done a beautiful. Or, your "people" have. I can’t imagine waking up in that bedroom suite! You are truely blessed.
How awesomely beautiful!!!!! What a great job I love it
What foresight you two have. Your additions and remodeling are fantastic. Not only a real farm, but a sophisticated new modern "new" farmhouse. Well done.
I love it. Thanks for the tours you give us of the house. I LOVE those old boards. And you find brick behind the wallboard, so maybe you shouldn’t whitewash the fireplace brick. Brick could be a random repeating element in the house, like the other old bits you find behind the sheetrock.
I discovered that if I close the bedroom doors in the hallway that the living room keeps warmer. Also with a curtain to the front door hallway. I think I"m getting used to colder temps, tho, because I don’t notice it as much. Well, it’s back in the 40s now. It’s a different story when it’s down in the 30s. I hate to think if it drops to the 20s, which it does now and then.
Oops, TMI. Your house story gets me thinking about my house story.
WOW…absolutely stunning and inspiring…thanks for sharing!! I’m in love with that tub!!
I have the perfect mirror for your bathroom. Its in Michigan. It is an old mirror with a picture frame of flowers carved into it. I don’t have room for it in my apartment but I just couldn’t get rid of it. Boy it sure is heavy too.
When you paint your bricks, take sand paper to each brick, it gives it a old look. I saw this done on Restaurant Impossible, it looked good.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! All of it, everything, everywhere, I just love your taste in color and design. And I love your daughter’s sense of magic! She sounds like a delight. Like her mama!
Smile!
Rebekah-you are living my dream. thank you for sharing. You can come decorate for me anytime. lol
If you are looking for some small tables you should consider some nest of tables,
I purchased a nice set from ikea and thought they were
really useful
