moving into gable oaks

“I give you this to take with you: nothing remains as it was. If you know this, you can
begin again, with pure joy in the uprooting.” 

- Judith Minty

This past weekend, my husband and I moved into our century home which we named Gable Oaks. Every century home deserves a name, and this one really stuck. There are two gabled ends on the house as well as many white oak trees on the property, hence the name. 

This weekend our family and best friends helped us move to the other side of Oro Medonte. In only three days and with the help of our friends, the dining room was painted a bright pale yellow (from brown), the trim, crown moulding, California lighting and wainscoting in the kitchen was painted white and the wallpaper was taken down. Our master bedroom (now a light gray) and guest bedroom (an antique blue) was painted as well. The carpet in the upstairs hall was taken up, now exposing beautiful original hardwood that we will refinish.
