Autumn at the Farmhouse
Ben Ashby
My house is very much still a work in project, but we are taking it slow and having fun as we go. I have found that during this incredibly weird year baking, cooking, crafting, and enjoying my time and my guests is far more important than having every detail of the house picture perfect. I would however like to power wash the house before winter. Please ignore the algae in the photos of the front.
I took these photos a few weeks ago before returning to The City. The yard has been decorated for our A Kentucky Handmade Weekend events.
This autumn, my first autumn owning the house, has been a bit surreal. Dreams of the way I’d decorate for years were coming true…while also realizing the limitations of what you can realistically pull off. Pumpkins and mums aren't actually that cheap. My favorite area became the side yard. I am still overwhelmed with how to make the front porches really pop. I am hopeful that Christmas is when I will figure out how to make the front porch shine.
