Mid Century Home Virtual Tour, Modern Master Bath
As we continue our social distancing, I realized if we weren’t social distancing, we would be planning our open house or we would be having you over one by one as we planned. This inspired me to come up with a virtual tour of our new home via our blog. With that said, here is our master bathroom. When we started renovations, we knew that having two bathrooms upstairs would work best for us. It would be a way for family and friends to visit and allow us all more privacy. I will let the photos do most of the talking with this post. If you have read my previous…

Vintage Modern Living Room Reveal
Did you know it’s easy to mix new & vintage to get the look you want? In this post I’ll show you how we mixed vintage with new pieces to get the look we wanted. I will also share how having help with your design process can save you time, which saves you money. While running a business, I quickly realized that searching for new items for our new home was time consuming and overwhelming. Hours of searching online and going to Ikea was all it took for me to appreciate my friend Laura more than ever. As I mentioned in previous blog posts, Laura Werner is a professional interior…

Lavello Sink Reveal for The Cottage
As promised when we shared some of the wonderful renovations for The Cottage, the sink reveal is here! Check out our previous blog post about The Cottage, where we turned this space into a new home for Moon River Spa. The space is working wonderfully for our friend Jenifer Blevins and her business is flourishing. She says her clients love the renovations. We wanted to share the update on the Lavello Sink and how wonderful it looks in the space. We had a great experience with this company and this project was a perfect addition to the farmhouse style in The Cottage. Because the store counter piece was narrow, we…

The New Harmony Antique Show
On June 8th and 9th, we welcome you to the 18th annual New Harmony Antique Show located in picturesque downtown New Harmony, Indiana. This is a one-of-a-kind, indoor and outdoor, exclusive collection of authentic antiques, vintage décor, furniture, and collectibles located directly on Main Street and in the Ribeyre Gymnasium. Just a little backstory on our Firehouse Antiques journey, it was at this event in 2003 that Jeff fell in love with New Harmony and called me excited to buy the town’s 100 year old firehouse so we could live out our dream of owning an antique shop in a small town. After I visited New Harmony with Jeff…

An Inside Look At Our Fixer Upper
In our last post, Our Fixer Upper, I blogged all about the outside of our mid-century home on Brewery Street. Now is the second part, a post about some of the work we are doing on the inside. The most important piece of advice I can share is to consult an expert! Professionals know their business and for the interior house remodel I reached out to friends and valued customers. After closing the sale of our barn, now The Barn by Firehouse Antiques, we contacted our friend Emily. She shared many ideas how we could renovate the space to reflect our style as well as maintain the conveniences we need…

The Cottage
We blogged about The Barn by Firehouse Antiques and Our Fixer Upper and here is the final building of our recent purchase, The Cottage. The Cottage is located beside our barn and it was New Harmony’s Barbershop as well as recently, Just A Stone’s Throw who merged with Lowry Hollow and opened their new location at 310 Main Street New Harmony, Indiana. At first we thought this could be an Airbnb….ah dreams! But we are excited to announce it will now be the new home of Moon River Spa owned and operated by Jenifer Blevins who is a friend and longtime resident of New Harmony, IN. She’s a certified…

Our Fixer-Upper
As you know, last October we bought a barn. Check out our last blog post here for more details. When we bought this property, our main goal was to utilize the hundred-year-old barn for storage and as a potential event venue. The neat, but scary part of buying the barn was that it came with a house and a cottage which both need fixing up. Now we have our mid-century modern “fixer-upper”. In the beginning we focused on the barn and started preparing it as the space we dreamed of for 10 years, but over the last couple of months we started thinking of the work we wanted to accomplish…
