For over 6 years now, my boys and I have been making a 45 minute commute each way to their school (I know, crazy). And each year, we know fall has arrived and Halloween is coming when we drive pass this display of autumn perfection.

My Favorite Autumn Display and The Tobler Grounds and Garden Tour
Rabu, 22 Juni 2016
0 komentar Label: and, autumn, display, favorite, garden, grounds, my, the, tobler, tour, WoodworkingStanding amongst bails of hay, an assortment of colorful gourds, crows and chickens, is the scarecrow. A perfectly weathered and weary figure with a touch of creepy. Every morning with my sleepy kids in tow, he would great us and the boys would perk up.
Then just before Halloween would arrive, we would drive by to find the scarecrow surrounded by glowing sculls and boney hands reaching up from the ground. I always marveled at what a perfect way the scarecrow transitioned into halloween.
So, I left a note in the mailbox and was thrilled when I received a call from the home owner, Lynell Tobler. Lynell not only invited me to come take some pictures of the scarecrow, but also to visit and show me around her historic farmhouse.
When I met Lynell, she was beautiful, vibrant and guess what else? I found out she too writes a blog! It was one of those things that actually came as no surprise. Not only was Lynells home fascinating, but she was as well. She shared with me some of her own journey which included her transformation into fitness buff, her love of fashion and her devotion to animals to name a few. In addition, she had just returned from her sisters side after seeing her through brain surgery. Lynell shares these stories and more in her blog.
After spending time with Lynell and learning some of her homes history, I set off to take some pictures. In this post, I wanted to give you a tour of the outside and the grounds of the home. It was magical. The home retains so much of its original character and the rustic feel of the grounds suites its history. And let me tell you, the inside of the home was just as charming as the outside...and Ill share that with you in another post.
Enjoy the tour
and please drop by Lynells blog at www.lynellsvintagelook.blogspot.com and say hi!

and someone we now call friend.
Her living room clock is also amazing, it looks like a mercury glass mirror,
picking up all the wonderful colors reflectioned from the sofa.
Jen has come across some fabulous finds since setting up her home.
(these photos were taken 3 months after moving in)
The master bedroom is still being worked on but with a bed this glamorous to
climb into each night who really worries.
George has decided he wants a bed just like it, I want a patch work cow hide rug
She has fun accesories found in every room.

MOTHERS DAY HOME TOUR joannes livingroom
For all you shabby chic loving moms out there
I have a wonderful room tour to share with you on your special day.
Recently George and I had the opportunity to meet Joanne
and were honoured to see inside her beautiful home.
And she was kind enough to let me have my way with the camera to share with you.
I took a LOT of photos so you may be lucky enough to see more rooms down the road,
but for now I am just going to spoil you with her livingroom.
And trust me when I say,
"THE WHOLE HOUSE LOOKS AMAZING"
Joannes has been thinking about painting the gold fire screen.
My opinion was either way looks wonderful but I thought we would get your input.
