We were hoping to tackle some outdoor projects tom

We were hoping to tackle some outdoor projects tomorrow, but #hurricaneelsa might keep us indoors instead.

Plan B is to put up some shelves in the laundry and utility rooms, but you won't find any new shelves in the Charlotte House kitchen.

Our cabinets were bought second hand from @renovation_angel (formerly @greendemolitions), pieced together to fit our space, then painted.

The wood shelf over our sink was made from old studs that were salvaged from demolition on the second floor. We liked it so much that have countertops sourced from the same lumber all around the house 🪵

❣️ Ten more little toes have landed at Charlot

❣️ Ten more little toes have landed at Charlotte House ❣️

Mama and baby are both doing great, big brother and sister are smitten with their new co-conspirator, and all of us are ready for another nap, please 💤

Much like everything else around here, we didn't really have any control over the timeline of things, and her arrival came much later than expected.

But we left it up to the Universe and ended up with a beautiful, middle of the night #homebirth and the most precious little babe. Turns out Ms Charlotte is the perfect #doula, as it was our calmest and most intimate birth yet (our fourth home birth!)...we even had to go wake up Yaya in the guest room afterwards to let her know her newest grandbaby had arrived!

It's been an extra long #waitingonbaby experience

It's been an extra long #waitingonbaby experience this time around for us (Jack said it's a little like being on a vacation that you're not sure WHEN is going to end, but you do know it's going to have a *really* rough departure 😭), but views like this remind us that good things are worth waiting for.

One of the really fun things about working on a project like this has been seeing the spaces we've envisioned in our minds for YEARS come together in real life.

Though there's still plenty of unpacking and organizing to do, we've finally gotten the chance to sit still for a bit and enjoy some of the cozy spaces that are popping up around Charlotte House.

It's a little surreal once it finally happens, but it's been such a privilege to spend time with our little crew in the place we've dreamed about and been inspired by for so long.

Baby should (!) be here soon, and in the meantime we'll keep dreaming about all the fun and cozy ways we can keep making this old broad of a house our home 🤗

This little mama likes checking out the front yard

This little mama likes checking out the front yard from the porch, mainly to see if she can catch a glimpse of the bunny that's been eating our new dwarf blueberry bushes 🐇😭

The landscaping was VERY sparse when we first bought the house, aside from some big arborvitaes along the side yard and a couple of hostas out front. We finally started to add a few things last spring to the empty flower beds to see what would survive in our clay-heavy soil, and it looks like most of what we planted is going to do just fine.

It's been hard to hold back, especially since we're still on the @getblooming 🌿mailing list, but Operation Pretty Yard has been on pause this year...we've just had too much on our plates with finishing up the major renovations and populating the INSIDE of the house with our growing crew.

Hopefully we can get back at the yard game again next year, but at least what we've already got growing out there seems to be holding this one (and that damn rabbit) over just fine for now.
