Baby Boy Nursery Ideas

A while ago, I did a post on girl nurseries, now I’m finally getting around to baby boy nurseries! Not having a boy, it was difficult to get in that mindset, especially after so many years of glitter and tea parties!

Keep Silos, Dovecotes, Pigeonniers and Think About the Possibilities

When we bought our land, one of the questions that was frequently asked was: are we demolishing the silos that stood upon our acreage. You see, our property was at one time farmland, so with it came an old, dilapidated barn, crumbled milking sheds and, my favorite of the structures, the silos. For aesthetics, the prevailing sentiment was that we should take all these structures down, but I loved these structures and think ...
