This gorgeous painting by @deborahangilletta_art shows one of the barns that used to be part of the Danascara estate. This barn is located just across the creek from the main house. The frame of the steel bridge connecting the two properties is still there, although the wood floor is long gone. The red barn and other hundreds of acres of farmland and buildings surrounding Danascara was sold off in the 1940s/50s after the original family sold the property, leaving the main house and carriage barn on 2.5 acres. This red barn and the slate cliffs behind it where the creek runs are considered some of the prettiest views in the Mohawk Valley. The creek and gorge were described in a book written in 1890, and set from 1757-1777 — “In the Valley” by Harold Frederic. This is everything I think about when I see this gorgeous painting - thank you for giving me permission to post your beautiful work Deborah!
Happy #tablescapetuesday! Potted plants are one of my favorite centerpieces any time of year, but especially at the end of February in New York when I’m ready for Spring! The blue willow dishes are by Churchill and they are dishwasher and microwave safe - our everyday dishes! The brown wicker ironstone is a set I found last year and I love the unique shape. We had chickpea curry over rice (for me) and chicken cutlet (for everyone else) with fresh green beans and sugar snap peas - easy and delicious comfort food!
All the pretty fabric samples from @fabricdotcom I ordered to consider for the bathroom shower curtain. I shared a bit about my thought process in stories the other day - it’s saved under “Bathroom 2” in highlights.
The results of grocery and thrift shopping were laying out and I couldn’t resist making a photo. This is the first time I’ve found cabbage leaf dishes at the thrift store and I feel like I manifested them @craftingculture style. 😏 I also found this little blue dish I may use as a spoon rest (is that what it was meant for?) and a basket perfect for silverware at a summer picnic. Not a bad $5 thrift haul! Hyacinth season at @aldiusa is in full swing - they last longer than cut flowers and the smell is amazing! I found this tablecloth @tjmaxx - such a great neutral stripe that will go with everything. And limes for chickpea curry tomorrow night because @circa38 had it the other day and now I’m craving it. 🍋 Hope you’re all having a great Monday!
Morning light in the living room ☀️
After patching, sanding, caulking, a coat of fresh paint, a new ceiling medallion, two new vent covers, and a little brown paint for the yellow chandelier cord, I present the only finished ceiling in the house. ✨Just don’t look below the shower curtain ring. 😉
