I begin my 3rd year of my BETWEEN subscription. It’s a treat “to me” that I cherish each Sunday. You are a part of my every Sunday morning with extras throughout some weeks. I just love reading it.
The fireplace is brilliant. I have studied the picture numerous times to really check it out… seeing the beauty in it. And…for free. It really looks great. Nice job, Tim…and Rebecca!
Can’t wait for your family to have this area finished, and you can cross it off your list. Hard work pays off.
Enjoy your week. Northern Colorado will be having almost 60 degree weather for the next 10 days. What has happened to winter? I’m not complaining at all. The snow falls in the mountains where it should fall!
Love your writing Rebecca, I feel as I am there with you, it's sunday morning in ireland 🇮🇪 and the rain hasn't stopped for weeks .looking forward to March so I can get to do jobs in my own garden.
Love your writing Rebecca. I've just subscribed . . . as much to support you in all you're doing as it is to read more detail and depth of your story. I admire what you're doing so much. It must be a never-ending slog, every day during the winter months working to bring your lovely home back to the vibrant existence it deserves. You're doing a very valuable thing! I don't think I would have liked to know about the baguettes and croissants you've bought during the whole year! Quite daunting when you express it like that! Maybe one day I'll come and stay as a paying guest. Keep going and enjoying it all, despite the 'grind'. You've made a lovely job of that radiator btw!
Ahhh the old bookcase discussions, I know them well. We went through a similar process ourselves. We ended up with a sort of an ikea hack as my clever husband made kitchen cupboards the base for our now complete birch plywood shelves/dresser. We then papered the Ikea cupboard doors with multicoloured prism wallpaper. I love it. It was a lot of work as there are no nails or screws as it’s all biscuit joints. I’d share a photo but not sure I can ☹️
Good luck with your plans, everything always starts with graph paper….😊
This is just what we’re going to do. Ikea base units for the cupboards and then something bespoke for the doors and shelves. It’ll be a bit more work but I’m sure it will be worth it.
It will 🥰 You will have lots of ideas of your own for sure but happy to send you photo of ours (sorry, I am VERY pleased with ours and G is so clever at putting my ideas into action!)
We converted an internal double garage in our 1980's gas fired farm bungalow into a library/sitting room in 2017 - with a woodburner, and full glazing across the front. We put tall kitchen wall units (less deep) around the base of three walls, then a clever carpenter built worktops and up to ceiling bookshelves out of mdf boards. Still working on the seating arrangements though - three doorways, mix of second hand leather sofas and a bibliochaise won in a competition don't work well for conversation, but are 'characterful'.
I feel I was there with you, a bystander with and without the cameras. I love how you always inspire me to cook, to garden, to just live. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your week, so beautifully written as ever: a friendly contemplative read 🥰
Gosh, I was nervous right along with you! As always, I love reading about the food, yum!! We have big snowbanks here. Before turning onto side streets, we have to inch the front of the car out into the street to peek to see if the way is clear. Nothing will be growing here till May.
You are a big part of my Sunday mornings - thank you. I am very envious of yours snowdrops - I love them and they are an exciting introduction that spring is on its way - hopefully!. The salon is looking fabulous - keep going,
Hi Rebecca.. another newsy read! You really don’t need to worry about your meals for guests! It was all very delicious! Cornwall was a mix today rain a bit then a sunny afternoon! It has been so wet here!🫣.. signs of spring here.👏.. lovely to read your news as we stayed at Chateau de la ruche! Have a good week.. 😘
As I stare out the window on this early Sunday morning, the rain is pouring down as been all night, I so share your feelings on the grey, dark day!! Let’s hope we see signs of bright days here too, thank you for journal it’s my Sunday morning treat
Your photos in this post are beautiful - even if you are pleased the fog lifts, those shots… lovely. I sit here reading your post and think, would I ever come up with your cleaver words. (highway of branches) Thank you for helping me forget a -30° day today in Southern Ontario but the sun in shining! SO cold!

Happy three years Barb - thank you ♥️
My Sunday mornings would not be complete without your weekly catch up. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. H xx
Totally agree! Thank you Rebecca for inspiring and delighting us with your brilliant creativity and hard work! 🙏🏽🫶🏼👏🏼

Keep writing to us Rebecca.
What a beautiful job you have done on the radiator Bec, the lace pattern really is pretty.
How fabulous the new fireplace looks. Tim must be really chuffed with his handiwork. Your room will soon be as beautiful as all your others.
Can’t wait to see all your bookshelves and books in place. You are creating more of a home for you now every day… it must feel so comforting♥️
Sending good wishes to you once again from rainy NZ. We did have sunshine yesterday for the wedding.

Keep being you 🎉🎉you make me smile 😊 I so enjoy your weekly check in ❤️
These pictures make my heart sing, especially that foggy blue shot. 💙
Sounds like a very busy week! (Aren't they all...). The fireplace is gorgeous.

My own heart beat a little faster as I read about the mantel installation. Whew!! 🫢
Love this peak at the Chateau from the trail in the woods!
