I know I’ve said it before..

But I will never not be in awe of the sheer beauty and design of this house. Not an ounce of detail missed.. the amount of planning it would’ve taken.. and so meticulously executed..

So dainty and feminine. Grand yet homey.

All without the help of a Pinterest board or endless internet searches..

I often wonder if the construction and design came together exactly as they envisioned or if they ever wished they did anything different?

I often wonder what the original builders of this 1800s house would think if they could see it now..

We’ve officially got lighting! How stunned would they be?

The house workers clocked out for the week..

Time to put headphones in, blast some music I don’t usually listen to around my kiddos, turn the blades on and mow some grass! My favorite way to recharge this time of year..

Hope you enjoy the concert, Royer neighbors 😂👋🏼
