Introducing Chris's Film Blog

www.chrisfilm.wordpress.com

For those of you that know me in real life or online you may have heard mention of my hubby's love of film. After much deliberation (and encouragement from many) he has finally started his own film blog. It is very much in the beginning stages, but I encourage all readers to hop over there, subscribe, and follow the reviews. Until he gets more reviews up on the blog feel free to follow the link on my right hand sidebar entitled, 'Movie Reviews by Chris', to read further.

Happy blogging - enjoy!

Barn Cabin Fever

For the past several months I've been dreaming of converting an old barn into a weekend cabin getaway (not that I have the money to do this, or an old barn to convert, but I suppose that is why it is called a dream). So for the past several months I've toyed with this in my mind. About 2 months ago I mentioned it to the hubby. A few weeks ago I started collecting photos....and whining to the hubster..... :)

I should really stop torturing myself.

Alas, here is are some photos that I think would be wound into my cabin getaway.

A Michigan Heritage Barn - it looks like half a house & half a barn.

I LOVE this door! Wouldn't it be a perfect entry?This is my favorite bathroom. I think it would work in my barn cabin. This is from the Bracken Cottage in West Brooksville, Maine.This is the New River Bank Barn converted by Blackburn Architects.Barn Conversion by Shed Architects in Seattle.The Granery by Blackburn Architects.Another view of the Barn Conversion by Shed Architects.

Etsy Love

So I logged onto Etsy to look at adorable baby things in honor of my new nephew and on the front page I got completely distracted by this adorable purse. If one can fall in love with purse then I am in love with this little wonder:

Now that I'm done drooling, let my quest continue...

It's good to be an auntie!

I am now a very proud auntie to a very cute little boy!
Welcome Jay Michael!
