Well, we are all moved in with the exception of one closet that needs to be sorted through!
It feels so nice to know I can walk around naked and no one would see!
Except Gus....
Honestly, that is the look he would give me if he saw me walking around naked, too.
"WOW mom...REALLY....NAKED...JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN?!"
We're all different.
The day we moved went pretty fast, with only a few mishaps...
I love this picture. It exemplifies how we move from place to place. Really neat and put together in the back, and toward the end we get impatient and start throwing things in NOT boxed. Laundry detergent...random papers...books...a couple plates...heck why not.
I don't have any pictures of the actual unpacking process...Tanner would have killed me if I was standing around taking pictures for "blogging" purposes instead of helping haha.
I will put a few pictures of the house up...although everything isn't exactly in its final spot...it probably never will be but still. Keep that in mind. :) If you have any suggestions for decor, let me know!!!!
The island will be painted a creamy color, hopefully subduing the veiny cabinets (yes veiny...it's what I think of everytime I see them!) that we can't do anything about.
We hung the 5.00 farmhouse light I bought at Habitat Restore above the sink and it looks WONDERFUL. Any suggestions for a light fixture in the middle of the kitchen? We'll be making some mason jar pendants to hang over the island soon.
I absolutely love love love my lockers in the kitchen! I put Gus' dog food, treats, and leashes in one, extra paper towels in another, and my aprons in the last one! SO cute.
I have to tell you whats unique about this doughboy table. We found it in the cellar of the farmhouse! We went down to check it out, and there it was...covered in rat poo and insulation! Cute, right?
The boys hauled it up and we swept, disinfected, and cleaned all the drawers. I think it adds the perfect amount of charm to the dining room. It is original to the farmhouse which was built in 1906. I wish I knew the history behind it! It fascinates me to know that at one time it was a functional table used in perhaps that very room! So interesting...
Little vignette on the table...do you think it's too cluttered?
After we got moved in, Tanner and Pate (my littlest brother) decided to go down to the pond and catch crawdads...
I love this picture.
This is one wall of the potting shed, or "The Cottage" as we call it. All along the perimeter are herbs. Lemon thyme, mint, chives, etc. I will be transplanting the herbs I bought a few weeks ago into this garden. Don't you just LOVE that gate?!
(It has been weeded since I took this photo haha)
That's all for day one photos! I'll be taking more...and seriously, if you see something I could move around or change, let me know! I'm so open to suggestions!
Have an awesome Tuesday!

I'm loving everything so far...and so happy for you that you found this wonderful place. It's so charming and all of your things are going to look right at home in it. What is the finish on the walls in the room with the dough table? I love how it looks so aged, warm and cozy. Can't wait to see more pictures!!!

That doughboy table adds so much charm!I love it!The clocks are great also. What is it about clocks. I have some also. Have fun decorating:) LizlovesVintage
Looks like a great place. Love the doughboy table. Great find!
Oh Jana, it looks wonderful! Just as I thought it would. Very exciting
*sigh*
Perfection!
You're living my dream. :-)
so exciting!! we move in about 4 weeks...and i can't wait. i'm avoiding packing but it's going to sneak up on me before i know it. can't wait to see what you do with your new place!
I'm so excited to be able to follow along while you make your new house home. It's absolutely stunning! You were meant for this place!
Oh I love moving. It's a time of excitement and change. A time for getting rid of things and focusing on new perspectives.
This house looks very interesting. I like what you have done with your old pieces like the lockers.
Have fun...
Looks like a great location - what fun you are going to have! I'm envious. I'll have to drive by when I'm up in your area (from Bozeman) this summer... sorry to miss the Vintage Whites Market but it's the same day as our JunkFest. Jamie V

Oh my...I love it all so far...that table you found in the basement is awesome!!! More pictures please!
Jana, i love each corner of your new home!! it's a dreamy place- Hope to see more very soon xxx
Love love love! I just read the post before this one and actually cried because I was laughing so hard. That never happens. Whew. Glad you got to keep your legs.
Love the doughboy table, love the gate! Again, I see so much potential here, which is always fun and exciting--even when you're viewing it from across blogland. The vignette doesn't look cluttered, just not quite...settled. I think it looks good for now and over time you'll find new things to add to it or ways to rearrange it until it's just right. I think some wildflowers in a row of old glass bottles would look nice added to the mix.
Love your new place!!! Good job!
well i saw Gus and instantly fell in love.....we are boxer lovers, right now we have c00kie the cat, we loss our Jordan 3 yrs ago she was 13 and i miss her everyday so when i see a boxer i hurry up and check it out.......he looks very content in your new home (old) looks fun i must catch up since i just became a follower....best wishes!!!
Hey Jana,
I'm so excited for you. This place looks amazing and so spacious. You have your own pond!! My husband would cry with jealousy if he knew. Your light above the sink is gorgeous and your vignette looks great as it is. I'm off to France tomorrow night and am going to have a look for a nice little (and light!) housewarming pressie for you xx
Best Wishes to you both in your new home!
