Well, at least I get to distribute part of the big news....the rest we are still waiting on but I will let a little hint slip. We have been approached as to whether or not we would like to be featured as a story on a very unique website. This is still in the works but we will keep you advised.

For those of you who remember, the kitchen is the big nucleus of the homestead. From the very beginning, the kitchen was designed to hearken back to earlier times. As a cook myself I wanted the kitchen to be warm, welcoming, well built, but above all, functional and easy to work in. I shun the moder... Comment - Like

The master closet is one of the three main components making up the master suite which occupies the back 60% of livable space on the second floor. In the master bath post directly below this post you will see the floor plan showing the master bath and closet. The two rooms share an interior wall and... Comment - Like

As stated in the our previous post, the interior at the F&H Homestead is really coming along now. Things took a long time and with larger projects, such as getting entire rooms up to speed for painting and completion, there was little to show and it seemed at many points that only I was seeing the c...

At long last we shall start covering the completion of the interior of the house. It has been a bit of a gap since we posted but since the last posts around the holidays we have been concentrating on the interior. Over the next few weeks we will be paying more close attention to the interior and as ... Comment - Like

It has been sometime since we have updated the blog and hopefully we will be on a more regular update schedule. In the last month or two the homestead has been receiving a wide variety of finishing touches and in many cases we feel the scene inside the work zone, while interesting and constantly pus...

Here is the backlink to the Better Blog:
So Long, Summer!
In between our regular updates I felt I wanted to stop and thank all of our loyal followers and those who have dropped by Ferret & Hound in the past. Just a touch over a week ago the F&H website exploded past the 30,000 visi... Comment - Like

The back of the house is now mostly set and time and mother nature must do the rest. As promised in my last post, here are the photos of the back of the house with things cleaned up (the place looked like a pigsty in the other photos of the back of the house). I am also including a couple of picture... Comment - Like

About three or so weeks ago I featured the final cleaning up of the front of the house. The grass is growing and we have a nice row of privet, boxwood and glass bells planted along the foundation. It has started to look orderly again. The remaining piece of the puzzle was out back.
The backyard in t... Comment - Like

Too cool of a free tool not to share... The Design Your Home 3D from My Deco renders your room with "actual" furniture (it's British and all the items are from British stores). It has its limitations, of course, but it makes for a fun way to play with furniture and designing a space without any know... Comment - Like

Today was an exciting day at the Homestead. Frankly, I was torn as to what was more exciting; the fact that we were to install the pergola or the fact that it didn't rain. Well, it did rain a bit but only near 6:00 this evening and only for a short while. True to predicted alterations in weather pat... Comment - Like

I found out that I was pregnant in the same month that we started designing the house. From the begining, I assigned the room above the library as the nursery - it is the smallest of the two bedrooms upstairs and it felt cosier and somehow, just perfect. Margot's room has been one of the most fun to... Comment - Like
