Hello everyone, Hope your week is going well. I had planned to do this post from down south but I had internet issues there. As you may know this is the boat house that my husband and son built a little over a year ago. I have shown bits and pieces but today I have more photos that I haven't shown before. There are still some little touches to be done but I can show them later. We used old windows and doors ,spindles and some old wainscoting as well as a couple of old barn beams. The posts on the porch were also recycled, I love how it reflects in the pond. Some of you might remember that I got the old door and the old iron bed at the 70 mile yard sale last September ~ both for $20, The little conservatory on the back faces south and we used old french doors in here.Although it is small I love it! If you would like to see more of it click here. A small porch across the front to sit and enjoy nature. It has already had a few changes as this was before the iron bed. Andrew's grandfather was a carpenter and this was his handmade ladder that Andrew treasures.I kind of doubt that either of them imagined it with linen and lace! The little nook is a cozy place to enjoy the view or read a book. It has an electric fireplace for ambiance. The loft is a favorite place for our grandchildren. This was the first year for this flower bed and it did well for a first season. We used soil from our own compost pile. I can't wait until we can sleep out here again.....it is such a peaceful retreat! The view from the side so you can see the tiny conservatory and the nook for reading etc. There are still little finishing touches to be done.....you know how I love to play house! Most people love to linger for a spell when they visit and some want to move right in... but alas I claim first dibs on it!!! I am sure you will see lots more photos of it this summer. I think Andrew and our son did a great job~ don't you? I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday, Common Ground for Be Inspired and My Romantic Home for Show & Tell. Thank you for visiting, Carolyn

It's time for another Pro-Follow update as we follow along with contractor Steve Wartman and his crew. If you remember, Steve brought in Victor and his team from Luciano Cristofaro Contractors to build the foundation, and today's article shares how they built the block wall foundation. If you missed it, read up on how Victor's team dug the footers, laid rebar and poured the footers at those links. Here's how everything looked after the concrete cured and a little bit of rain. Step 1: Mix Mortar The guys used a gas-powered mixer to mix sand, water and type-S masonry cement. Then they

What does foundation repair involve, and how much money, on average, does repairing your foundation for various reasons cost?
Each palette consists of twelve Benjamin Moore® paint colors in 4" swatches and no colors are repeated. The intentional selection of the twelve colors ensures that they are energetically balanced and will create the feeling of the dwelling for which it is named. Using the Color in Space approach means that the twelve colors in the palette may be used as the road map for your entire interior. Don't just think of the swatches as paint! One color could work as your sofa, another as the rug, and another as a dominant color in a piece of art. Don't stop there, use them to guide the tile on the backsplash in your kitchen too! You will then have the confidence that the color you choose from the palette for the paint will certainly flow with the other decor items and architectural finishes you have. The twelve colors complement each other and overall create a very harmonious atmosphere.
