In June of 2019, Mike and I purchased a beautiful piece of property in Rappahannock County, Virginia near the town of Little Washington. It was a longtime dream of Mike’s, but it took time for me to feel ready to take on a second home and even longer for us to find the right place.

The property that we finally found has everything we dreamed of…except for a house. This is the story of rehabilitating a gorgeous but neglected slice of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Building a home to gather with our family and friends. And celebrating the beauty of life with those we love.
