So you can see there are a lot of horrible, ugly, back-breaking problems that we’ll have to deal with all over this house, but to tell you the truth, I’m feeling pretty grateful for every one of them..As if having a beautiful country property on which to live out the rest of our days isn’t enough….

trempe l’oeil version in the Summer.one as well, because it was just funny..

I really didn’t intend on making this one terrible this time.I wanted it to be.
