Mountain Living at its Best

This page is your guide to the unique spaces in our Vermont home, filled with creative ideas, eclectic charm, and stories to inspire. And don’t forget to visit our Coastal Maine Home Tour to experience our other slice of New England life!

A Walk Around the Yard

What drew us to this Vermont home was its breathtaking Green Mountain views, best enjoyed from the front porch or around our cozy fire pit with its inviting blue seating. Join me for a walk around the yard, where you’ll find inspiration in the rustic charm of a split rail fence, the inviting character of the fire pit, and the simple joy of flowers gifted by neighbors and displayed fresh from their gardens. Whether it’s a snowy soak in the hot tub, a crisp fall afternoon by the fire, or a friendly chat with neighbors summoned by the ring of a bell, these blog posts capture the beauty and community of mountain living.

Vermont Home Farmer’s Porch

The long, narrow farmer’s porch on the front of our home is hands-down our favorite spot. Overlooking the Green Mountains, it’s perfect for grilling, dining al fresco, and waving to neighbors who often stop by with just the ring of a bell. From spring blooms to our classic New England Vintage Ski Lodge Decor at Christmas, this porch transforms with the seasons, offering endless inspiration for outdoor living and timeless charm.

Vermont Home Sunroom / Craft Space

No Vermont Home Tour would be complete without a stop in the sunroom, a space that has beautifully evolved over time. Whether savoring morning coffee, diving into a good book, or watching storms sweep over the mountains, this cozy retreat is pure magic. Now transformed into a creative craft space, it’s where I blog, design, and let inspiration flow—all while soaking in those incredible mountain views.

Vermont Home Dining Room / Breakfast Nook

The dining room and breakfast nook are two charming dining spaces within the home’s open floor plan, seamlessly connected to the kitchen and living room. Anchored by an antique family heirloom, the dining room exudes timeless character, while the recently added breakfast nook offers a cozy, casual spot to start the day. Both spaces reflect a vintage-inspired, welcoming style perfect for entertaining and enjoying meals.

Three Vermont Country Inn Style Bedrooms

This home features three charming bedrooms designed to feel like a cozy Vermont Country Inn. The master suite boasts French doors that open onto a private deck with a hot tub and mountain views, while the guest wing includes two bedrooms, a shared bath, and its own French doors leading to the farmer’s porch—perfect for morning coffee. With newly added wallpaper, vintage quilts, a lace-canopy bed, and eclectic treasures from my Thrifting with the Gals adventures, each room is filled with character and warmth for a true New England retreat.

Open Concept Cottage Style Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of our home and a true standout in its design. Spacious, open, and perfect for entertaining, it flows seamlessly into the living and dining rooms. With all lower cabinets—ideal for those of us who are a bit on the shorter side—and stunning marble countertops inspired by Vermont’s legacy as a global hub for marble, this kitchen is both functional and full of character. Large windows frame breathtaking mountain views, making every moment spent cooking, dining, or gathering here an experience to savor. It uniquely blends charm, practicality, and timeless New England style.

Built-In Bookshelves

The built-in bookshelves in our living room and sunroom are a dream for anyone who loves eclectic decor and seasonal charm. From vintage book displays and neutral styling ideas to creative DIY projects like hanging salvaged windows, these shelves are constantly evolving with New England’s seasons. Whether showcasing old musical instruments for Christmas or curating vintage vignettes, these built-ins are a canvas for inspiration and a treasure trove of decorating ideas.
