A New House (Rental)


Mudroom/Entry 


Dining room. 


Formal living room. The painting is the first thing I moved in. 

Kitchen. 

Kitchen nook. 

Office. 

Upstairs Master Bedroom

These are a few photos of our new house rental. 

Our little cottage by the river has been wonderful over the past four months. We've also especially enjoyed the company of the folks that we rent from and share the property with. Logistically however, the small space created some challenges for us, most specifically with the kitchen, playroom, living and dining area all being in one room. 

So we stumbled upon a nice historic Cape that was available, and decided that it was time to move to something larger that we could live more comfortably in for awhile. 

It will also be nice to unpack our storage unit. We still haven't found our printer! 
Or the charger for our video camera, 
or my Canon Rebel, 
or our little one shot....

We do know that they are somewhere that was very obvious for safe keeping.

    Catherine,
    This is such a dear place to imagine your family spending the winter - I love all of the fireplaces! What a lucky house to have such inhabitants!

    Johane,
    We bought replacement chargers but they are complicated. Three pieces to attach together in order to charge battery. So the originals are much better and we can't wait to find them. Best, Catherine

    What a lovely house. Did I miss a post somewhere? Where exactly are you? Not exactly, exactly of course... :) I just can't seem to find out where you moved to. Are you still in the US?

    Oh dear...the infamous "safe place"! I hope you find everything. I can never remember what seemed like such a logical place at the time I put something there for safekeeping. I usually find it when I'm looking for something else!

    Catherine, I'm so happy you're blogging again and I can't wait to see what you do with your new cottage. Your style is so tasteful and I've turned to your previous home for decorating inspiration. Is this new home in Oregon, too? I can't wait to see the landscape photos because your other home had such beautiful scenery all around.

    It will be a lovely home for you and your sweet family. It's a shame it is a rental -- you would do great things with that kitchen. But in no time, you will make it a lovely home. Please share more pictures as you progress with decorating. God bless your family in this new home.

    Oh, unpacking would be a joy, right? I don't know how you lasted this long- I couldn't. And I'm sure you will find everything. I hate it when I put something somewhere that at the time I thought was realllly clever. The place is very cute. And holy cow that stove hood. I like it.

    I'm familiar with the very obvious place for safe keeping thing. That made me grin.

    Very excited to see the new rental photos! Thank you for sharing them. Very much looking forward to more. I try to get excited about the modern, and it can be great, but those ceiling beams are delicious.

    Take care, Em

    What a beautiful home! That's what I wish my home looked like--all except for the brick vinyl floor. I laughed when I saw it. When we built a new house in the early 80's when we were first married, that same floor was in our kitchen! At the time, I really wanted a real brick floor.
