This weekend I found (via Instagram) this beautiful antique house for sale in Essex, MA. It is chock full of garden and landscaping inspiration!

Due to a persistent leak that is likely coming from underneath the floor in my kids’ bathroom, we may well need to add on a re-do of that room to our kitchen reno (as you may recall, the leak comes from the kids’ bath down to the kitchen ceiling. Wonderful). I have 49” space to work with for a vanity. I’d love a double sink, but that may not be in the cards cause it would be tight, so I’m looking at repurposing a dresser or chest, or using a trough sink.
Mostly, Craigslist, and I say this as someone who loves (some may say is obsessed with) it, is a big fat waste of time. Occasionally, though, you search and there are so many good things. Since lately I’ve been finding some real gems, I’d thought I’d post these so that someone local can snap them up!

I discovered Phoebe Troyer on Pinterest, where she has an amazing board about her home in Ohio that kind of makes me want to paint everything in my house white, trade in my comfy furniture for classic ladderback chairs, and upholster everything in linen.

Recently I went to an event at an expanded 19th century farmhouse filled with gorgeous, envy-inducing modern art. It got me thinking (and fantasizing) about modern art in older homes.
I constantly feel like I’m making no progress in finding things I love for the house, but then I decide to do another post on recent vintage finds and realize I’ve actually found quite a lot of things in the past few months!

I’m always trying to meld antique and modern in our house, and lately have been obsessing over brutalist décor and fixtures – which I think would work shockingly well in an antique setting!
