The truly unique part is, if I saw this in a designer magazine, I would know that you did it-you truly have a great brand, I hate to use that word, but that’s all I can think of, and I mean it in the best way. You should have a firm. I love your minimalist way, but done with great glamor, a nod to the past, uniqueness, and the touches of black. I LOVE that stair carpeting, and it may solve a problem I’ve been having over a carpet for our front room. Funny, during covid, I’ve cleaned my home from top to bottom and got rid of pounds of stuff, made everything more streamlined, and even changed my inclinations in lots of ways.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well! Thank you so much for posting! Wish I could fly you to Pennsylvania to do my house!<br />Margaret Hess Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-80259142233443118112020-12-04T07:24:37.712-08:002020-12-04T07:24:37.712-08:00Hi Janet. I was happy to see your post. You have ...Hi Janet. I was happy to see your post. You have me thinking about sprucing up my small townhouse. I had a decorator come in for a couple of hours years ago to give me some advice, but that was years ago. It seriously needs painting and the cats have had their way with the upstairs rugs. I will not be doing any real travel anytime soon, so this might be a good investment. I have been studying what you did for Mary and see how I might tweek my place in similar ways using much of what I have and frankly love. Of course I will have to wait until this awful covid is over but God willing this will be soon. About my Thanksgiving. My family had all planned to go to a restaurant in Manhattan to celebrate. We would be 9 so allowed for indoor dining. Then things got worse, as they have all over the country, and everyone decided, probably wisely, to stay in their own bubble for the holiday. this left me on my own. I decided, since my family are carnivores, to make my own vegan feast. I especially thought about how you had posted over the years about your own vegan holidays. I used your recipe for butternut risotto, and for an apple crisp. I made maple glazed brussels sprouts from an old copy of Yoga journal, and a "creamy" mushroom soup with white beans supplying the "cream". There was cider from the local farm and bread from the bakery down the street. An old friend who's plans to see family were also cancelled kind of invited herself, which was great, but then she ended up cancelling at the last minute. Yes there was sadness, but also gratatude. Wishing you the best in these strange times.<br />DarbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-14509137485169158892020-11-29T04:36:53.644-08:002020-11-29T04:36:53.644-08:00Everything is really lovely...the fixtures and the...Everything is really lovely...the fixtures and the rug are great additions.ystoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304047321221257060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-37237017958311811492020-11-25T09:59:22.064-08:002020-11-25T09:59:22.064-08:00Hi Janet!

And, yes, I understand about blogger. I used to have the blog Vermont Cottage (like 7 years ago or even more) and have been thinking about a new blog; but, the setup isn't nearly as easy or intuitive. I kind of gave up. <br />Happy to see you are still at it.

I'm so happy you have had this project, during Covid, to fill your time and allow you to use your talents and creativity to help a friend. I can't tell you how many times I've visited your blog, soaked up your philosophy and calming photos during the last 7 months. I've been grateful for the reminder to simplify and and live with less.
