New Blog Post: Where the Tomcats at? A look at our 2026-2027 school year updates for our family. The Curee Schoolhouse happenings. Check it out in the link below or in bio. #freckledandfree #homeschool #publicschool #changes #ccpcollege Part 2. Transporting and reinstalling our antique butcher block table from our 1855 year old home, to our new historical 1800’s home, took more of them country boy smarts. With the help of some great friends, @mantiquingwithmywife and I were able to get our 900 lb table settled into place. With a lot of wisdom and ideas together, they made it happen flawlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. They again, utilized an engine hoist, man strength 💪🏻 and talk, as well as some Egyptian inspiration rolling it on pipes, and last but not least, a good ole’ tractor. If you missed part 1, check it out here on our socials. To our friends who helped, thank you!! #freckledandfree #mantiquingwithmywife #countryboysmarts #movingbigstuff #ingenuity How did we move our antique butcher block table? A lot of country boy smarts and a little bit of hard thinking. @mantiquingwithmywife and some great friends made this 900 lb table move look easy. With a little help utilizing an engine hoist, man strength 💪🏻 and talk, as well as some Egyptian inspiration rolling it on pipes, and last but not least, a good ole’ tractor. We can’t thank them enough for their help. As you will see she made it to the trailer safely, that’s part 1, stay tuned for part 2. #freckledandfree #mantiquingwithmywife #countryboysmarts #movingbigstuff #ingenuity Always an exciting week when this arrives in the mail. #countrylivingmagazine #countrylivingmag #countryliving #funmailday #freckledandfree That’s a wrap on our Kitchen on the Sunny-Side Up. In case you missed it, you can look through our social post or check out the blog to learn more about the history and stories that led to this bright and cheery kitchen design of our 1855 charmer. Link in bio. #historicalhomes #kitchenreveal #yellowkitchen #countryliving #freckledandfree After all that fun, we prepped to sell, packed and said our goodbyes officially. At the suggestion of our realtor, we took out some of the large antique pieces we were using for storage, so they could really visualize their items here and maximize the space. I styled it off simplistically and it sold swiftly. It was bittersweet to walk away from. Mixed emotions galore. To not complete all the projects we wanted to is hard, but I am still proud of what we did get accomplished, and look forward to what my new kitchen and dining room will one day be like in our new (old) 1800’s historical home. We walked away with even more experience added to our design and building portfolio, more added to our cooking skills and memories as a family, and we left our cheery kitchen with our heads high and handed her over as a gift to be adored by the next home owners. For more on the stories behind creating this space check out the blog. Link in bio or below. #freckledandfree #stylinghome #kitchendesign #countryliving #yellowkitchen If you’ve been following along here, it seems like we were finished on this space, however, we were most definitely not. The next step for us was to update the ceiling. I wanted to make it feel a part of the space by adding v-groove bead board for that old-charm texture and color-drench it in the same yellow. Lastly we planned to source and find actual antique lighting to install. But…if you have been on this journey long enough, you know, sadly these plans were never going to take place. You can read many of my previous blogs where we share the story of why we had to leave our beloved 1855 historical home for the arms of another historical home. That call to land was too strong to deny. So while, the ceiling was in fact the next project to be completed, we had to quickly move from project mode to get our house ready to sell mode. Finishing only what needed to be done to get this beauty up on the market. We made it happen. It was a bittersweet one to walk away from indeed. But—here is what we WOULD have done differently IF we had got to finish up the space. As pretty as blooming daffodils. Oh, the lovely little details.
