Splash of color.

 {our 3yr old grandson...labor laws don't apply at the VCH}

We spent a day last week scraping paint off our windowsills and repainting!

The porch was done last summer but we never got around to the windows.

We stuck with the white theme... sorta.

Notice our splash of color?

We think it looks so good & we're very happy with it!

Can you see it?!

What do you think?

What the deck?!

Our back deck is the best place for summer outdoor gatherings.

Tons of space, patio table, sitting area, sitting nook, bbq, grass, view... we love our deck.

And we love it even more now that we've summered it up with our antique finds!

Book your next weekend vaycay & come over!

Bring your favorite book {or don't, we've got lots for you to choose from} and come spend a day

lounging outside in the country sun. You need the relaxation... say it. You need the relaxation.

Visit our booking site over at VRBO & pick a weekend. We'd love to have you!

The title -- did you see what we did there? We're funny..

Spring is almost here!

We are ready for winter to be over.  Snow is necessary for summer water, but seriously, we are into warm weather.  

It is time to think about your summer vacay!  The house is now booked for the entire month of July, but August and September are still available for outdoor activities, and then by golly we are into winter again.   

Meanwhile, Foosball Anyone?  

Check out one of our latest projects.  We  converted an old utility cart into a useful piece of furniture for our game room.  When I say old, I mean vintage and well loved prior to my snagging it from my husband's shop.   And, to up the coolness factor, we used an old Utah map formerly owned by my dad.  The map on the top shelf is Sanpete County, can you tell?  

 This is something you have to see in person to appreciate and we would love to show it to you!  

 This is while we were cleaning it.  Had to tear it all the way down, degrease it, and paint it. 

 Sitting happily under the wide screen TV, holding the blueray player (not pictured) and the cable box.  They aren't on the top shelf anymore, but you get the idea. 

If anyone has ideas on what to do with all those unsightly wires, let me know.  We love our game room, and so will you!  Call us today to book before the rest of the entire year is gone. 

A house favorite.

We have a lot of favorite things about the house, in the house, on the house, around the house...

Just everywhere.

One of our favorite things that we have is our homemade coasters.

We've got a set in the living room & another set upstairs in the game room.

I mean, right?! They make our vintage home just a tiny bit homier.

If you love them, we can make them!

Obsession.

Guest book.

 Meet Steve.

Downstairs bathroom.

Downstairs queen room.

Armoire knobs.

He came allll the way from Afghanistan. Welcome to America.

We may or may not have an obsession with owls.

And believe it or not, there's more.

But we love them.

We don't think it's too excessive... Do you?

Pink Tub?

Our last little bit of availability has just been taken.  We are now booked solid until the 26th of May, 2014.  If you needed to come during that time, we are sorry we cannot accomodate your dates.  Book now before the rest of the year just disappears!

I want to do you all a solid, and show you just  a hint of what you are missing.  A pink bathtub.  NOT kidding.   It was in the house when my parents bought it, they never replaced it, and seriously, if its not broke, don't fix it right?  I would rather have new carpet...

Happy New Year to all of our past guests, future guests, friends and family.
