Updated green front door with some structural repairs and a fresh green color. A $40 auction find (oriental rug) moved outside for fall and winter (after the rains and before the snows) along with some fresh from the potager pumpkins!

Stonecrest Manor was overgrown and empty after sitting in foreclosure for years. The one plant that survived it all were the daffodils and there are thousands of them.

The fog rolling into the valley is one of the best parts of Stonecrest. When waking up to mornings like this, the firepit overlook feels like it is part of a different world.

The front porch of Stonecrest Manor was built with marble tiles upcycled from Western National Bank in York PA. The rockers were from a Hershy Hotel Auctions and stump tables were cut from the property. This spot overlooks the valley and is the perfect place for a cup of tea!
