Long time ago, I came up here to North Texas from Dallas, where I was in College, to attend Grayson…read morecounty College's Viticulture & Enology program in Dennison. It's one of the few degreed grape growing & wine making programs in the country. And while I was in the Viticulture & Enology program I started exploring the surrounding areas & found the extremely beautiful, stunningly gorgeous rolling hills of North Texas wine country, Saint Jo, Muenster, Lake Murray, Arbuckle Mountains etc., I fell head over heels in love.
Long story short, I found a little old farmhouse in the area on some land & decided that was where I was going to start my vineyard & Antique B&B, in North Texas wine country someday. Little did I know that would take 20 years LOL
Well, as a Chef, it turned out, grape growing was not my talent, herbs & medicinal homeopathic medicine was. Yep, Cooking, gardening & making
medicinal medicines & natural beauty products.
My hubby's nickname for me is "Dr. Chef"
Haha. I know, so corny.
Anyway, so ambitiously without a care in the world, shouldn't take long I thought, I set out with my hair on fire to Chef, garden herbs, gut the farmhouse & rebuild it from scratch while I traveled the country working & collecting antiques along the way to build this dream of mine Antique B&B. 3 cottages was the plan. LOL
20 years later, that little dream of mine has now become a reality, mostly with the help of "Old Home Supply House."
We bought a lot of cool stuff for the antique bathrooms from OHSH.
I mean I looked all over the country and mostly found what I wanted right here in Ft. Worth for the antique bathrooms.
For the guest bath, I wanted a old Brass antique free standing shower kit, that hangs from the ceiling, with small cast iron clawfoot tub all of which I got here.
For the master suite, I wanted a antique brass & stainless steel faucet with two colored Gucci style shower phone handle, with a LARGE soaking cast iron antique claw foot tub, all of which I got here.
Now, I didn't get them all at the same time. I collected it all over the years. It took a while to collect it all but it was worth it. You just
Have to keep looking, searching & collecting. I made many trips to OHSH. Haha.
Anyhoo, later, I found a tub guy in Dallas who refurbished the tubs. And he did a beautiful job.
Then, Hubby installed them.
It's been a interesting experience,
Hubby & I wouldn't change a thing! We have enjoyed every second of living in Wine Country,
Texoma area & rebuilding our old farmhouse. We are so very proud of it. We are completely "tickled pink."
We just want to thank you guys so much for all your help in making our dreams a reality. We couldn't have done it without you. I didn't forget I told you guys last time I was there I would post some pics when we got the bathrooms done.
Well, we did it! We finally finished them! LOL
Thank you again Old Home Supply House! You are a dream maker.
Working on Cottage #2! See ya soon! xoxo
Highly highly recommend!
