I might have mentioned a time or two or a hundred times that we now have a mountain retreat. When we first came to the house in the spring, we set up the house so we could stay here and also to get it ready for vacation rentals. This was our first visit since the spring. […]
Mountain house guest room
It’s time to go back to the mountains again for more of our tour there. This is a house we bought for retirement. It’s always been my husband’s dream to have a place in the mountains of NC. It felt like a crazy idea at the time, but that’s what we did. You can find […]
Remodeling a Dated Kitchen
