The Old Stonehouse

I thought it was time to add an alter to the guest house. I used some of my favorite things to put it together.

I'm sure this will morph over time, but for now, it works for me.  The pumpkin on the black chest lights up.

I decorated my Murphy door too.

The black books are all of my witch books which I had bound at a local bindery.

 

 

The gold ones are all of my Kafka books.

I added more pieces to the sideboard. Isn't this going to be fun to clean!? You can see how they leveled this piece by pouring a concrete footer under it. This floor is so crooked that on the far right there is an 8 inch difference.

I moved the old candy cabinet to the TV room.  For years I have filled these drawers with boxes of candy for visitors.  Anyone that comes here can open the drawers and pick out candy to take it home with them. People make a bee line for it.

I also started to fill up the pantry.  It is filling up fast and I am being very selective of what goes in here.

It was a wonderful weekend with very Fall-like weather.  We built a fire in the outside fireplace and worked for hours on the ponds and creek.  We filled large bags with leaves and hopefully will have everything up and running soon. As soon as it warms up here, I will be power washing all of this.

Willie helped.  

So did Winnie.

We raked all of these leaves. This should have been done in the Fall but we were taking care of Willie's boo boo and never had the time to do it.

These two chow chows had a very good day. But to be honest, every day is a very good day for them, as it should be.
