We're moving, everyone! We'll be back Monday, February 9th.
So with that, good-bye, city life. Green acres here we come...

Washer and dryer, you say? Well, this morning, I woke up in my 1890s Victorian era farmhouse to hear the sound of my cats going after the tube leading out to the dryer vent. Yes, the birds have once again loosened the cage over the vent to come in from the cold.
Congratulations on your home ownership and welcome to the wonderful world of old houses!
Posted by: suzq | February 06, 2009 at 11:33 AM
Greeeeen Acres is the place to be...
...and you're going to love it!
I made the move from the city to the country 15 yrs. ago and have never looked back.
I'm excited for you, and cannot wait to see what you'll do, to turn that house into a home.
But, I guess you're entitled to a few more days to lollop around the proverbial cloud nine before the magic begins.
Congratulations!

Congrats! Can't wait to see how you decorate! Now you'll have room for all your tableware - sheesh - I always wondered where you put it!

You guys are having too much fun. So, stop and get packing. Ok, I'll put my whip back in the closet.
I can't wait to have you guys back on the 9th. Good luck moving.
Posted by: Elsa Guzman | January 30, 2009 at 03:05 PM
Oh my God. When I read about your move I was so happy for you but I will admit I did have a "Green Acres" moment of panic. I didn't want to mention it because I thought it might be rude. It is so weird and now you have addressed the issue with such a hilarious photo. Good Luck and can't wait to hear more once you get settled. Penny

Congratulations on the house, I am so jealous. I cannot wait to see what you gents come up with on decorating, this is so thrilling. I am living vicariously through you and I know you won't disappoint. Is that too much pressure?
Posted by: Cheri | January 30, 2009 at 01:33 PM
So funny!
Posted by: Holly | January 30, 2009 at 01:20 PM
Wow..the house looks great. I can't wait to see the rehab..I hope it is a tv show/book or at least LOTS of pictures here.
I've been reading for some time, but never have commented. I love your style. This is generally the first thing I read so I'll miss your blog.
Millerton looks like a nice little town (I goggled), bet you could set up a shop.
Come to DC and flea market. My husband has a weekly route, but he could use your upscale taste. We moved 2 years ago for space issues and then inherited lots of family stuff from my mom. Moving is a chore, but well worth it. We back to parkland and even in the city of Alexandria we have deer and fox in the back yard. You'll love the country. Looks like good neighbors...how can you not love the sheep!

Omg....you guys are hilarious. "Green Acres is the place for me..."

so excited for you both...looking forward to living the adventure with you.
Posted by: Darci | January 30, 2009 at 12:55 PM
silly me, I just read your previous post and answered my question about the animals. Even better, you can enjoy them w/o all the work. Hopefully you can have your own flock of chickens if you want them, of course. Best wishes.
Posted by: Lesley | January 30, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Your blog is just going to be better than ever! How far away from the city is your home?
Posted by: Meridith | January 30, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Hi, a few questions....is it the house w/ the complete acreage? Are the animals included? I can't wait to read about it in your future blogs. Best of luck to you both! 70acres is a lot of elbow room.
Posted by: Lesley | January 30, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Congratulations on your new home . . . the photos of it ~ and your new "neighbors" are wonderful! Am looking forward to more details as you settle in.

That's it? One day we get an email with photos of your new house and the next day you are moving!!! Your timing is good Eddie. . . when I saw those emails I wondered how long it would take to start seeing the transformation of that house! This will be fun!

First and foremost, I am SO happy for you both.
That said, what about me? Waaaaaaaaaaaaa - no posts until February 9th? I guess I will survive somehow :-)
Looking forward to seeing all the creative things you will do with your new home.
Posted by: Christy | January 30, 2009 at 09:20 AM
Okay...that picture is slightly disturbing...can't say I'll sleep well tonight after that visual Eddie :) Congrats on the new home and you must be a whirl with ideas for it I'm sure. It will be so much fun for you guys to shop for your new place...no more storage issues...no more stacking things for space...lots of room to entertain now :) Have a safe move and don't lift things that might yank a ham string...one word "Advil" take care and Whahoo on the new digs. It's so exciting to buy your first home, I remember hugging the wall when I walked into my first place. Yes I hugged the wall!!! I highly recommend it, very bonding with the structure. Tee Hee!

Pink is definitely your color! Enjoy the move -- use it as an excuse to repurpose and reinvent all your decorative goodies. And, of course, an excuse to go looking for just the right thing for that little nook in .... Ah, but I doubt you need an excuse!
Posted by: Sharon in Chicago | January 30, 2009 at 08:52 AM

if i were lucky enough to be your neighbor i would bring you a fresh baked pie in a vintage pie tin (that i happen to have picked up from an estate sale) wrapped in some kooky 1960's linen dish towel to welcome you two to your new home!
all the best, your devoted fan.

Bless you both,moving is so not fun.Of course looking to a new place and all that you can imagine to do is the fun part.
Bad weather to be moving.What about that Apartment moving sale? I would love the b and W prints....
Posted by: Clara | January 30, 2009 at 06:45 AM
Move in safely and well wrap and bubble wrap your most precious items and mark the boxes clearly on all sides ---in your pre-determined code FM= family room how simple was that??? Please take my suggestions as mere suggestions for you or others that read this comment zone . These are comments and I hope they are seen as comments not something mean spirited.
Posted by: Annie cox | January 30, 2009 at 06:20 AM
I love the photo but that house is fantastic!!! So much of the original charm...lucky, lucky you!!! I see alot of great posts on the way with your new adventure of city boys to countygentlemen!!!! I can't wait...
I wish you were on my side of the River so I could bump into you at the shops!
Posted by: mary | January 30, 2009 at 06:13 AM
OOOh I am so excited for you. I know you and Jaithan have been looking so good luck! I hate the actual moving part of moving but having the opportunity to make a fresh start in a new place is always refreshing. PS What do you think about what happened to Domino!
Posted by: Missy | January 30, 2009 at 06:05 AM
I love your house!!! How fun will that be to decorate. I can't wait to see what you do. You two are so lucky! Keep the pics coming.
Posted by: Cheryl | January 30, 2009 at 04:12 AM
I cannot wait to see what you do with your new home. Does your neighbor have an Arnold the Pig?
As a military spouse I have moved so many times (even trans-atlantic moves) it's not funny. I love to move though because it give me a chance to mix it up. Have fun with your move!

You too guys are 'hysterical' but alas 'Great Minds' think alike -- the same thought occurred to me was "Green Acres Show- well maybe not exactly, "Great Minds" ..... the thought that flashed through my mind of the late & beloved "Tasha Tudor" at her beautiful homestead I think it was in Vermont? --with her Corgie dogs.. Wishing you both Smooth Sailing" and throw in a couple of Alpaca's and you are set to go!

Your 'Dah-ling' photo made me smile profusely, as I too this weekend take possession of my country place. It's not so rich in character and history as yours, unless you call stuck-in-the-70s-bad-rusted-harvest-gold fixtures & appliances character!! As an interior designer in Vancouver, I plan to escape to my seaside shack up the coast where I will be in renovation heaven, all the while checking your blog for terrific inspiration. All my best on your new home and cheers to country living!
