Are you thinking of adding a library to your home?
If you do, don't tell Chowdah and Chili.
I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020. We relocated to Dallas and have been spending our time searching for our Forever Home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

Love the mansion, but the walk to the beach is too long, and it's a hike to the pool, too, so I will have to pass on buying it! But it is a beauty. The carriage house is cute and more my "size" - I certainly would not want to clean the mansion!
ReplyDeleteKatie, I will be busy clicking away on your shared links! Breakfast for dinner is always a good idea, so good I think I will make a frittata or perhaps waffles tonight! Ooh, warm desserts are perfect. I haven’t had breakfast, maybe that is why I am all into the food pics! Have a lovely weekend~
ReplyDeleteGreat post filled with links I love, home tours, decorating (I know I'm making all those living room mistakes) and food. I'm off to check out those mistakes and see if I may want to put an offer in on the house. Happy weekend dear Katie..........
ReplyDeleteI love Misterogers....cant wait to see Tom Hanks take on this role.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible post! My old furniture is just lucky to have a home at all! And Mr. Rogers must be played by Tom Hanks, my very favorite!! ❤️
ReplyDeleteOk, now I am hungry!! Can’t wait to read the all the links you provided.
ReplyDeleteWell, now I'm hungry, wanting wine, dissatisfied with my house and coveting your dogs. I am buying a zillion Mr. R. stamps. Meeting him was one of the greatest moments in my life and yes, he was the nicest human being on the planet.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the Mr. Rogers movie!! I love that his spirit lives on and that my grandchildren love the spinoff show Daniel Tiger. At the other end of the values spectrum, don't you think that Hamptons house would make a great location for an episode of RHONY meets RHOBH?
ReplyDeleteThat mansion is something else! I can't get over all that private beachfront!! Yes it is a hike from the house but it would help you look trim in your bikini ; ). I believe the Rockefellers still own & live on their estate in Pocantico Hills, NY (about 5 mins from my house). On Valentine's Day DD ordered pigs in a blanket; I was so jealous I couldn'tshare them. When my lobster tacos arrived all was right. Thanks for the Lent recipes (they look yummy). Bracing for more snow here. Take care dear Katie....xoxo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteOh my!! So much to take in!! And then those desserts...
ReplyDeleteOh, my, that mansion, goodness, I'd need both servants and maids! And, a warm dessert sounds wonderful about right now. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful smorgasbord of food and home design ideas. Thank you Katie.
