This inspiration house is amazing. ...Hi Catherine,<br /><br />This inspiration house is amazing. And, since we see so few whole-facade shots of your home, is a great reference for us. I'm not sure you've before hinted at your locale. I knew you moved from extreme west to east, but that's about the extent. Do you like the area? Have you been exploring nearby towns? Any favorites?<br /><br />Best, Kelly<br />Minnesota<br />1870 FarmhouseKelly Christophersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611798606177940062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-30298650657422254032015-09-16T17:18:52.219-04:002015-09-16T17:18:52.219-04:00Hi Flo,

Long time reader, first time comme...HI Catherine! <br /><br />Long time reader, first time commenter. Your restoration and renovation of the new place is so fun to go through with you. It keeps our renovation in perspective and my patience in check to know there are others out there going through the same thing. Your home is going to be incredible when it's finished. I had to laugh because I have the Alden house all over my pinterest as inspiration for our house as well. It is just so elegant and the owners have kept things simple so as to let the architecture shine. You are also so right about "old house people". We can tell each other a mile away. It's that crazy look in our eyes. Plus the incredible, generous and supporting nature of all we have met. It's nice to know you aren't alone and everyone with old house love is rooting for you. We just want to save them all!Megan Shepardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142556555288800695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-86799031179517249302015-09-15T14:13:57.091-04:002015-09-15T14:13:57.091-04:00the steps to the house are just wonderful...love a...the steps to the house are just wonderful...love all the photos!Pura Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423379787232688763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-64425308898855773392015-09-15T14:02:36.453-04:002015-09-15T14:02:36.453-04:00Wow!

And what intricate details. It is interesting to see a completely different house style that still shares a lot with Scandinavia: using wood to imitate stone. Such as those cornerstones. If no-one restores them they will disappear, since no modern house builder goes through the trouble of creating so much extra work for themselves. Only old house people do, I guess. We are a crazy bunch ;-)Sailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424130517694807680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-86680210131532964952015-09-14T19:53:05.600-04:002015-09-14T19:53:05.600-04:00Wow, you do know how to pick out "charming&qu...Wow, you do know how to pick out "charming" homes! I can't believe you even found a rental that has charm. I love all things old, and soon I get to spend some time at the French Lick Resort. I think you would love it. : - ) It too has amazing history.

Having just a half-story however, we are looking forward to more space. Mike is especially looking forward to being in a home that he doesn't bump his head on so many things. At six feet four inches, he bumps his head quite a bit! <br />Best, Catherine Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-5707299095762745172015-09-14T18:31:16.964-04:002015-09-14T18:31:16.964-04:00Hi Catherine, I am enjoying your posts on the arch...Hi Catherine, I am enjoying your posts on the architectural details of your restoration. Your rental house is also lovely! What details about your rental house do you like or not like based on current and past house experiences, and what things drew you and Mike to the new house that you are restoring? Is there anything you miss about your farmhouse, or things that you plan to incorporate in the new place?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747269423561843247noreply@blogger.com
