These legs are absolutely gorgeous......Hello Joan! <br />These legs are absolutely gorgeous...and HUGE! This is only my humble opinion but I would go with an upholstered ottoman with deep set buttons..I'm sure there's a name for it but I just can't think of it at the moment :( I think I'm going to have to go back to where I left off last time I was here and work my way forward..I don't want to miss anything about your renovation! I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday. Stay warm.<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-53245723229537835552010-10-21T23:31:48.716-04:002010-10-21T23:31:48.716-04:00Thanks again Flo!!

Have you and your husband tried Parkers Maple Barn or Pickity Place in Mason NH? Great places and a nice drive this time of year!<br />Yes our friends live in Carlisle MA which is near Concord Ma. They bought a lovely old home and are in the process of renovating now. <br />Where on your blog can I find pictures of finished rooms in your home to show them?<br />Thanks again...<br />debbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383083995586723440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-10534635600859356212010-10-18T23:11:03.032-04:002010-10-18T23:11:03.032-04:00What gorgeous legs for your ottoman.

I really appreicate it, as comments keep me motivated to keep blogging, so thank you!<br /><br />It's not an odd question at all- you'd be surprised how often I get asked!<br />And, you're in luck- as the pancakes are almost in your backyard... Swanzey Diner! They aren't typical pancakes, they are thin-more crepe like, but out of this world good! The service is very slow (especially on the weekends), but it's worth the wait. Have you ever been there before? And the dive antique mall is just down the road from the diner- Fairground Antiques! <br />I do hope you send your friend by to visit, is she in Mass too?! <br />joanfor the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-90529411559083558712010-10-18T11:59:29.689-04:002010-10-18T11:59:29.689-04:00I have never commented on your blog before but I v...I have never commented on your blog before but I visit it quit frequently. Love your home and all you have done to it. We have friends that are renovating a house similar to yours and I need to direct her to your blog for some "inspiration". I do have an odd question for you-where is this pancake diner you mention frequently? We live south of Keene in a small town in Mass and always looking for a great place to drive on a Sunday for a great breakfast!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383083995586723440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-70217290739194625982010-10-18T11:30:09.378-04:002010-10-18T11:30:09.378-04:00Great Deal on the legs, I have been trying to find...Great Deal on the legs, I have been trying to find some like that for my hubby to make into a coffee table for me.
