Welcome to My New Home





Hello Again From The French Hen's Nest,

  It has been a while since I've posted anything.  I recently moved to my new home in Fredericksburg, Virginia, which was built in the 1800's.  Fredericksburg is located about an hour south of Washington, DC, and about an hour north of Richmond, VA.  This is an area steeped in history.  The farm where George Washington grew up is near, and the home that he bought for his mother is just a few blocks away.  It's also the site of many civil war battles.  

  The old town area is lovely and located on the Rappahanock River.  I'm looking forward to exploring the area more.  And as I do, I will share it with you.

  It has taken me a while to unpack everything and find the right spot for it, but I've finally (almost) finished, with the help of my nieces who came from North Carolina to help me. 
  I love the charm of this old home, ten foot ceilings, ten inch moldings, and three fireplaces. Today I will share some photos of my living area.

The moldings are so pretty I didn't want to cover them

     Thank you so much for the visit.  I've really missed all of my blogger friends.  Please join me next time to view my dining room.  Have a wonderful week.


Till Nest Time,

Jeannie
