Christmas Visit

On Friday afternoon, my mother, Carolyn; son, Fain and nephew, Garet drove up from Georgia....

These were the conditions when they reached Boone, NC on Friday.



A snow plow is not something you would normally see in Georgia.
Fain looks a little nervous!


Of course, Garet got to really enjoy playing outside in the mountains. 




This was preferable to ending up in the creek.


He also really enjoyed the kittens.
That is an armful of cat!
 




One of the reasons for the trip was my Mother brought me this beautiful bedroom furniture.  It belonged to her grandmother (my great-grandmother, Mammy) and I have wanted it since I was a child.  It fits the cabin perfectly and I just love it! Thanks, Mom!






A couple of shots of the back loft sleeping space.


"Overflow sleeping"

Now just waiting for the girls and Sweet Pea to come on Christmas Day.

Voila!

French doors!  For all of those who were shocked that we were not going to have a door going into the bedroom.  I really love how these turned out and how they created a more defined entry both into the cabin and the bedroom.  






This will be our "attic" space.  A railing (as in where the Spring Lake Farm sign is) will be continued around the open corner, hopefully hiding most of the storage unit.  I will probably add a curtain to the shelves to further disguise them.
