If Music be the Food of Love, Play on

One of the daunting tasks of downsizing is where to keep your treasured things. Coming from 2700 square feet, there was an extra reception room for our many musical instruments. In the cottage, they've been stored under a bed  for lack of a better place. As that's not very conducive to spontaneous playing, we needed another solution -


Making the instruments part of the decor keeps them always at the ready for a session. 



Music is a theme throughout our home -


Below is my grandfather's first violin, all the way from Texas. 


The next project is to to find a space for the banjo, mandolin, bagpipes and autoharp!

  2. Well now, I have a good explanation for that! It's part of the "Texas" room that's not quite finished yet. We just added a bed to that room with a vintage quilt, my Daddy's boots and hat, a Texas sign on the wall that was Mom & Daddy's and the famous Texas pillow! ������
