Welcome!

Welcome to the Frog Hollow Farm blog! I've been blogging since January 2010 and have switched from Blogger to Word Press, but I'm back to Blogger because, for me, it's easier to use. My husband and I live on a little farm in Northwest New Jersey. We have some chickens and a very large vegetable garden with asparagus and raspberries, and rows and rows of sunflowers, snapdragons and zinnias. Traveling, entertaining, gardening, spending time with family, studying Italian, blogging and reading keep us busy and happy. With all of this going on, moving towards a simpler life seems almost impossible but it's definitely a daily goal.

Home of the Month

Hello everyone!  Today's post is short but so much fun for us to share with you!  As you all know, FHFB and I have been working with two wonderful designers, Susan and Pam, through their business, Design Works, for the past couple of years.  

They've helped us in so many ways - 
  • reorganizing our conservatory with all of our own things to make it look cozy and comfy
  • guiding us with the bedroom and bathroom choices of wall and floor colors (we painted the wood floors upstairs), curtains and bedding
  • helping our dining and living rooms 'grow up' with elegant functionality, yet keeping many of our own antique and furniture pieces!  

I've posted the changes for all of the rooms in various blog posts since March, but now you can see even more of our farmhouse by linking over to the Design Works website.

(still under construction in many parts).  
Our home comes up immediately as their first Home of the Month!    

Happy New Year to everyone!
Ciao, bella!

    Your home is beautiful and cozy and warm. I'm glad they included a picture of the fireplace, I have been curious as to what it looks like. Do you know much about the history of the house and its original owners? Love the dining room and the chandelier over the table! And the bedroom! It's all just beautiful.
