Modern Farmhouse Kitchen and Dining Room
By Roger Hazard
The Modern Farmhouse's open kitchen and dining room act jointly as the heart of the home. The open stairway brings in a constant stream of sunlight, and provides a reading nook beneath the stairs. The large kitchen island offers ample storage and workspace, and the dining area accommodates guests and even has room for our piano.

The Grey House: It's April, Fools
What a difference a few degrees can make. The snow is retreating. Birds are chirping. The crowds have returned to the village.

A Rare Sunny Day
Roger and I are in Atlantic City this weekend for the New Jersey Home & Garden Show. I snuck out of the convention center during a break between sessions to explore the boardwalk and take a few photos.

The Grey House: Recalibrating Focus
After doing a goat photo shoot (goatoshoot?) that involved chasing a tiny baby goat around the village and taking somewhere in the range of 600 exposures, I discovered that my camera's autofocus system was out-of-whack.

The Grey House: Bedroom Board-and-Batten
Roger and I decided that board-and-batten would make a nice addition to the look of our master bedroom. This time, I tackled the project myself. Here's how to do it and what you'll need for the project.
