Here are some before and after pictures of our new homestead. I will post pictures after I have finished decorating as well once we move in. One doesn’t need much to make an old, dilapidated looking house look fresh and inviting…like home. A bucket of soapy water, a few gallons of paint, and some friends can make an amazing difference!
A few more pictures…

Tomorrow we transfer a truck load of medicinal herbs and fix fencing. Two week countdown….

I love the wood cookstove! I hope I don’t burn everything the first fifty times but I do expect a certain amount of trial and error!
It looks cozy already!
I have so many ideas for decorating. I can’t wait to be in and settled!
