as of tuesday, i have a home. i (along with mr. smith) am now an official resident of accord, new york. i’m an accordian (i love saying that). and i’m a homeowner. i’ll no longer dread the question “so, where do you live?” which has been so hard to answer for the past 11 months.
the pics above are from when we were merely looking at the house, which explains why i am dorkily placed in them. the furnishings are those of the previous owner. our style is more floor-to-ceiling cardboard boxes, newspaper, and bubble wrap, for the time being anyway… and i couldn’t be happier about it!
Oh the potential is just oozing from this little old house. I am particularly in love with the ceiling in the upstairs bedroom!
An old house full of potential is just what I needed to come out of lurkdom and comment. I found you through your book. I have made my first skirt pattern and my first skirt. I’ll try to post it on my blog sometime in the next couple of days. Thanks for such a useful and timely book!
its BEAUTIFUL! congrats, cal!!!
WOW! that’s my dream too! congratulations, looks like a beautiful house!! love the sunporch and all the wood and windows in that bottom pic!
Hooooray!!! Homeowner & Accordian! Is that a separate ‘studio’ building??
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. It looks beautiful, especially the last photo. Can’t wait to come visit! Lot’s of love! xo
Happy Home Time!!
Congratulations and have lots of fun doing whatever you want with it!!!
Congratulations! It looks a very desirable house and land.
Congratulations!
Moving out of NYC, getting some land & chickens has been an amazing experience for me. I hope you enjoy years of knowing your property — knowing which chairs the sun will hit at 3pm, and what your apples will taste like in the fall.
I LOVE the house — can’t wait to see more pictures (hint) and the hodge podge farm sign (hint). All the best in your lovely new home.
Congratulations! It looks fabulous!
WOW! What a beautiful house! I am so happy for you!!
Congratulations on a lovely new country home. It is exactly how I would picture your home would be!! Hope Gertie likes it too!
We moved to the country from the city and had to move back to the city from the country.
I so long for country living. So happy your dreams are coming true. Enjoy your lovely new home!
Congrats. It looks like a beautiful house, I just adore that sun room!
congrats! it is adorable! love the solarium room:)
Your house is adorable! You SHOULD be proud. Congratulations!
It is beautiful!! I love that room with all the windows especially!
I am so pleased for you! I just heard your podcast with Jennifer and am sorry i didn’t get in on the drawing, because your book sounds fabulous. I’ll go look for it around town. I hope it becomes a textbook for those poor fashion students who have to deal with double darts and leg o’ mutton sleeves! I hope you come to Northern California sometime as I would love to take a class. I have been wanting to make a skirt that fits!
Good luck!
I started reading and said, that house looks so familiar…my sister lives in Stone Ridge (sells Real Estate) and I’ve driven through Accord many times over the last 30 years! What a nice house! Congratulations!
Congrats! Found your blog via trueup.net Love your book and have put it in my amazon wish list.
I am so happy for you! Another farm owner that I can live vicariously through in my tiny 2 bedroom los angeles apartment. I heard your interview on craftsanity. can’t wait to get your book. its on my christmas list!
I’m so very excited for you and your new home! I just moved into our first home and I can share in your excitement. I am very glad I came across your blog. My husband purchased your book for me but has it wrapped up saying I can’t see it til Xmas! The nerve! I love the bead board ceiling and looks like you have some fruit trees too! Very nice!
