Setting Up a New Home...

Time flies when you are in transition. It seems that for the past few years when Spring rolls around I am compelled to move to a different location. In 2007 I moved from the "Blue Door Church" to my other home in Bath, Maine (which has since sold!). Then in 2008 a big move to Charlotte, North Carolina. Oh my, what an incredible year and quite an adventure. I loved living high up on the 24th floor in the Airee, it was my "Magic Year". A time filled with reflection, Art, fun folks, extraordinary family, adventure and ending in love, (which brought me back to Maine). Yes, magic indeed. It was great to gain perspective on life and figure out what the next several decades could be filled with! I was inspired to start painting again. I painted 24 pieces last year and am currently showing my work in a gallery in Charlotte.
I have been slowly moving into the home I now share with my partner, Neil. It is lovely space. We started the process last Autumn and now as of last week I live totally in Topsham, Maine. I have engineered our space for casual living and entertaining. We integrated the fabulous 1930's Magic Chef stove, which started it's journey in Malibu and now is folded into the kitchen of this 1799 home. Perfect. We will be cooking and entertaining with that stove for years to come.
Neil's Law office is also on the property and we recently completed the build-out, but that is a whole story for another day!
It is wonderful to be in this space, physically, emotionally and spiritually and it is exactly comfortable on all levels.



After setting up this house I have found "Home" and am so happy to be here.





So, readers, thanks for being patient during my "mini" hiatus. I am back and will be posting Home, Design and Lifestyle articles once again. Check back and see what's up.
I will be documenting the new gardens and the progress of my new "Home Laboratory".
By the way, this is my #101 article written for this blog which I started in December of 07!
Thanks!
