Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy blankets and a steamy drink. I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Welcome friends! I am so excited to finally roll out my new blog today. I've been blogging at Bluebird1959 since 2012. I've had the itch to make a few changes and, after much thought, an entirely new blog seemed to be my best choice. So....here we go! Why Far Ago Farm? When I was growing up, there was a farm on our road with a very long driveway. At the drive entrance, a wooden sign post read "Farago Farm." My entire life, I always believed the inspiration for the farm's name was it's long drive - you know, far ago. As I considered names for this blog, I mentioned to my husband my plans to name it after that farm. He actually grew up next to that farm and his family knew the owners. He wondered why I picked that name. I rolled my eyes. ("Do I really need to explain this honey? ") Well, it turns out, the owners were Italian and their last name was Farago. Pronounced Fa-Rah-Go. Wah wah...There went my cute life connection...
Hi friends! Our upcoming move from Wisconsin to Kentucky has meant a lot of packing and purging. It also has caused me to think long and hard about what I want to take with me and also how we would like to style our new home. When staging our current house for sale, I really stripped the rooms to the bare bones in an effort to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible. Our master bedroom (from our listing photos) below ended up so fresh, yet so welcoming. It still is a little empty for my personal taste, but I loved how the staging turned out. It also has led me to a decision on my whole house color scheme. I really like the idea of a whole house color scheme. It gives such a cohesive feel to a home and also allows furnishings/decor to be interchangeable between rooms. For most of our married life, my color scheme has been burgundy/gold/green/rust. I really love those colors. In the last few years, I worked those colors into my whole house color scheme and enjoyed...
