The reveal of our custom built California Closets walk in pantry in our 1850 farmhouse on the coast on Massachusetts. When we first moved into this house, we struggled with what to do with this long, empty room in the corner of the first floor. We first thought of having it as a mudroom, since…
Life in New England
coffee break.
Things have been C-R-A-Z-Y around here. So crazy, in fact, that I haven’t gotten around to successfully finishing a new recipe to share with you all this week.
