My favorite part of the house..so far.

Most of our house is still under construction, except for a big portion on the first floor... this is my favorite part of the house right now! A little corner under the stairs is looking very warm to me right now. It does not have the furniture I was dreaming of (a little console, a standing coat rack, and a new lamp) but it is working pretty well with what we have right now! So, I'm happy!



Here is the picture of my little corner...



Enjoy your week,

A sunny weekend


I'm suppose to write about the house (it's what stress me right now) but we had such a sunny, cold beautiful Sunday that I just want to share some pictures with you...


This is how the house looks right now...not to much snow huh?


And a couple views of rural WV.

Hope you were able to enjoy the "nice" weather too.

The Beginning

Okay, my lovely husband convinced me! I should have a blog! It's supposed to be good therapy and at the same time I will keep family and friends posted about our new life here in Morgantown, WV.
We just moved from Boston, Mass., and coming from a big city to a small town has not being easy for me. Thank God I'm being entertained by my toddler son Max, and my new obsession, fixing and decorating our first home (no more renting, yipee!), an old and beautiful 1936 house that needs what we call a lot of TLC.
So, this is the beginning. I will be posting pictures from before, and of course after, and probably the many questions I have about what to do and what not do when you have all this empty space to decorate, and not so much money to do it. Hope you can help me with some answers.
