After decades of dreaming, planning, saving, and so many weeks (ok, actually months) of #renovations than we can count… we’re finally here. Where is "here"?: The #Appalachian Mountain Bungalow in the #BlueRidgeMountains.🍂🏡✨

Our Appalachian mountain home is officially finished with the big projects, just in time for fall to paint the mountains and the hollers with plenty of colors of green, orange, red, and yellow. The fresh mountain air, golden leaves, and quiet mornings sipping tea on the front porch make every bit of the work worth it. But, if I were completely honest, these major renovations had me thinking, several times, "Why did we buy this 100 year old place?!??!"

Here’s to new chapters, slow living, and soaking in this season of peace and gratitude in the mountains. I am so incredibly thankful for every day I wake up and walk this property with the Yorkies. 🐾⛰️

As the masterful Ray Charles sings it, "Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind" https://song.link/i/1543969353

A smiling couple is standing closely together outdoors on a bright, sunny day in what looks like a peaceful rural or mountain setting. They are both wearing glasses and look happy and relaxed. The woman is in the foreground, with long dark red hair and a blue textured sweater, wearing no makeup. She has a warm smile and is holding the camera slightly above eye level for a selfie. The slightly sunburnt man stands just behind her with his hand resting gently on her shoulder. He has short white hair, a full white beard, and is wearing a beige T-shirt with a small Under Armour logo and the word “FREEDOM” on it. Sunlight highlights both of their faces, giving the image a cheerful, golden tone.

Behind them is a grassy yard bordered by a simple wooden fence and tall trees. The trees are full of leaves, suggesting early autumn with sunlight filtering through the branches. The scene feels calm, natural, and joyful.  A moment of contentment shared in a beautiful outdoor setting.The photo shows a peaceful autumn landscape in the blue ridge mountains Georgia. In the distance, a rounded, tree-covered mountain rises gently against a bright blue sky. The trees covering the mountain are in full fall colorsshades of gold, orange, and deep green, with some hints of red. At the foot of the mountain and across the lower half of the image, there is a vineyard with rows of grapevines stretching from left to right. The vines are mostly golden yellow with touches of green, showing their autumn change.

A narrow gravel road runs horizontally across the foreground, separating the vineyard from a grassy area closer to the viewer. Near the left side of the image, partly tucked among the trees, there is a small cluster of buildings. A couple of bright red trees stand out vividly beside the buildings, adding a pop of color against the darker evergreens and fall foliage.

The overall scene feels calm, colorful, and sunlit. Capturing a crisp fall day at Tiger Mountain.
