The house's "two sides" always brings to mind childhood books and stories about mysterious houses with hidden passages and so forth. And the miraculous closet reminds me of the same circumstances in my former 150 yr. old home in Fauquier County (a closet maybe 5 inches deep more like a space between the walls . . .) <br />We are all looking forward to being back soon and again to hopefully be among the first guests to occupy the newly expanded rooms. <br />Laura G.<br /><br />PS Alice Lohr's buckwheat pancake recipe from the cookbook has become our favorite . . . We started out making it with buckwheat flour from the old mill in Millwood (Clarke County) back in Nov. and now settle for what we get in bulk at the market. It's so simple and the most delicious--topped with your maple syrup of course (we still have a small supply!) Leland's breakfast of choice every weekend!

Thanks fo...Hi Nancy,<br /><br />It's lovely to meet you!<br /><br />Thanks for the invitation to the second phase of the reno of your farmhouse! How pretty it will all be; I can visualize the finished rooms looking fresh and clean and colourful. Are you going to use heritage hues, in keeping with the age of the house? The old furniture, piled up in the centre of the room, to me, are little treasures ready to be rediscovered. Are you going to refinish them, too? Best of luck with your new project! Looking forward to the reveals!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092859819349833883.post-60942691224768316772015-01-21T11:44:04.570-05:002015-01-21T11:44:04.570-05:00Hi Nancy

It would suit me to a tea - oh and can I bags the rocking chair to sit by the window and dream of times gone by!<br />A great post and so lovely to catch up with you!<br /><br />Hugs for 2015!<br />ShaneRoses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092859819349833883.post-65881043923961591602015-01-20T20:42:16.614-05:002015-01-20T20:42:16.614-05:00What a great project.
