Pinewold Cottage

A 1915 foursquare cedar-shingled cottage, nestles into a slope after its exquisite transformation by the Knickerbocker Group. I featured a front porch view of this cottage recently (shown below) and everyone loved it.

Yellow Kitchen Love

This yummy yellow kitchen is in a guesthouse at Martha Stewart's farm in Bedford, New York. It seems to be an awful lot of kitchen for a guesthouse, doesn't it? I love every inch of it though and wouldn't change a thing except I would have Webster dog instead of the Chow. This is where Martha houses her collection of 19th century yellowware mixing bowls.

Peony in the Rain at My Cottage

The rain let up for a minute or two and I ran out front and snapped a few quick photos of my peony buds that are opening slowly. I hope the week isn't as bad as they are predicting with rain every day. I no sooner get ahead with my grass cutting than I'm way behind again. Oh well, what can you do? At least it's not hot yet.
