Come with me while I share my work...

This is a home I currently have listed for sale in Middleboro, MA. The homestead sits on just over eight acres of beautifully treed land. The reproduction Saltbox home is surrounded stonewalls and fruit trees. As you pass down the meandering driveway and come upon the home you are greeted by the slabs of granite that are the steps to brick walk ways. The home was built with attention to detail and the fine workmanship shines through out the home.

 This antique door was fitted to the powder room and there is another on the laundry room. They took my breath away. All the other doors in the home have been handmade of Poplar wood for better results in staining. They have thumb latches~

 There are wide pine floors through out the home, Even in the finished basement and the game room above the three car garage.

The old red kitchen has three sets of french doors, a beamed cathedral ceiling, a convection stove, honed granite counters and a stunning view!

A little Christmas

Welcome to The Country Nest at Christmas! We have been so lucky no snow yet, lots of rain which the gardens and shrubs need to survive the long New England weather.
I didn't put out at least half of my decorations this year. I wanted to simplify this year. Some greens and my favorite things. My Arnett's Santas make me smile whenever I look at them. I have collected a few over the years and do have my favorites.

So come on in~my usual wreath at the back door~

 Some crocks with greens.

 This is my newest Santa. I love his face and he has a gingerbread man so he is in the kitchen.

 My Christmas cactus is in bloom, but it blooms at Easter too.

 This is a favorite. I love Santa in his union suit with his bid belly. Each face is a bit different and I love his. Don't you too?

 

 I got this one with the flag when my son was deployed. I thought it suited at the time. The little felted reindeers I have had for years.

Waiting for snow

My reindeer at the back door. Love his natural look. I am not into blowups or plastic stuff, but I did do some when the kids were young.

I hope you are all almost ready for the holiday. I finished my gift shopping yesterday. Now I need to get it wrapped and the start baking. I have a few projects I would like to do too. Then meal shopping and getting ready for the family to arrive!!

What do you have left to do?  Let me know.

Put on some Christmas music and enjoy.

 

Welcome to My Country Nest

Hi, Please come on in! Some of you may know me as Countryhome308 from RMS. I have decided to take the plunge and start blogging. I am not sure if I write well enough or am creative enough, but I have been lurking around blog land for quite sometime. The first blog I started with was Rues Peanut Butter & Jelly life. I had met her on RMS and I was hooked from there on in. I jump on my computer each day looking for new posts, peeking into your lives, being inspired to try something new. I already feel like I know so many of you. So bear with me while I learn to do this, please.

Come on into my home!

My kitchen is the first room you step into from my porch. We can sit on the porch on a nice day. It is only 34 degrees here today and cloudy....feels like snow again. We have had snow cover since Christmas! I can't wait for Spring. Sunday I took all my snowmen down and put some Spring out, hoping to make it come a little sooner~

The snow is beautiful when it first comes~

This was last week.

Well I am going to run for now, but will be back with more pictures and such real soon.
