When I was perusing one of my favorite daily reads, Hooked on Houses, I found out about this 1930s New York mansion that was abandoned in the 1970s. It’s totally creepy, and totally awesome, so I just had to share it with you!

Spring Seasonal ‘Scape + A Giveaway
Happy Monday, friends! After working in the yard all weekend, Spring is definitely in the air around here! Flowers are starting to bloom and the days are getting warmer, and this weekend they’ll get longer too.
I am SO excited to be a part of a new series hosted by Lauren Nicole Designs called Seasonal ‘Scapes Blog Challenge. Lauren has rounded up some pretty fantastic bloggers to share glimpses into their seasonal homes, whether it’s a table ‘scape, mantel ‘scape, coffee table ‘scape, or vanity ‘scape. And first up is our Spring ‘scape!
This Week’s Links
Add this to my bucket list: the most beautiful building in every state.
Perfectionism at its best.
This Gothic Revival is breathtaking. And it totally makes me feel better that not every nook and cranny is decorated to magazine-worthy perfection.
Quotable Friday
What a week! Over the weekend I started feeling a little sick, and by the time I got to the doctor on Monday afternoon, I had strep and double ear infections. My sweet husband said, “Wow! You really committed!” But I’m feeling much more like myself this morning and am excited to get lots of yard work done this weekend. Happy Friday!
What are your plans this weekend?

Our Spring To Do List
The countdown to spring is on! Just 16 more days!
By the end of last spring, we were so burned out from all of the projects we’d completed recently that we decided to not try to tackle anything new for the summer. We agreed to just relax, enjoy the house, and take a break. And that’s exactly what we did.
The hiatus lasted a little longer than we originally intended, but we just haven’t felt motivated to get started again on all of the little (and a few of the big) projects on our list. But after going through all of our old before photos in prepping for my Home Show presentation, Charles and I both got the bug.
Woman Caves & Wine Nights
I’ve got big plans for our basement. Most notably, I want to turn it into a wine cellar. So when Chairish asked me to come up with some plans for a woman cave, I began brainstorming about how I could make this space useful.
The basement is currently accessed from our back porch, but we hope to eventually expand the kitchen so that the basement is accessible from inside the house. While most of our house fits into the traditional style, the basement is one place where we really could go for a more industrial look…which is exactly what I did!
