Copper~n~Things: From This To This

Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

From This To This

Here are a few photos of my dresser turned kitchen island and

much needed counter space.

Remember this?

And This?

A little better, don't you think so? I still haven't gotten the hardware on the drawers yet.

I want to add a little more character and get reproduction hardware online.

So being used for a quick meal, extra prep space for cooking or a place for my burlap pumpkins to hang out, I like my island.

Thanks for visiting.

Sandy
