Follow Kim Putnam on her journey to reinvent herself and create Palisade Posh.
Finding Joy
Being sad for so long, truly sucks the life out of your soul and that certainly is not helpful to Andy, and it is not healthy for me. It is time I turn the corner and find my way back to me.
Accessibility
If I’ve learned anything with this experience, realities are anything but concrete and things can change on a dime with no warning. To survive, adaptation is of the utmost importance.
It Takes a Village
Andy and I are so luck to live in Palisade and to be a part of this incredible village we call home!
The Day My World Turned Upside Down
As I tried to lift him, I noticed his right side was unresponsive and I knew it was serious.
Life Lessons: Starting an Airbnb
Starting a business is not easy, but even with the bumps along the way it is rewarding.
Moving Into the Art Studio
After months of not having a designated creative space, the studio is finally finished, and I’ve moved in! Words cannot adequately describe the feeling of pure joy I feel as I unpacked both my art and art supplies.
A Touch of Paint
With the weather still on the colder side, the DIY projects in the main house continue. When the weather is nice, I work outside on the property, when it’s cold, I focus on the inside.
Giving the Kitchen a Facelift
While our contractor is building our guest house, I decided I could take on a few DIY projects in the main house.
Renovating the Main House: Phase One
I’ve decided to play it safe and only focus on one remodel project at a time, while the guest house is being built and we work to get the farm up and running. The rest of the house will just have to wait to be remodeled, as funds become available, we will tackle one room at a time, I’m thinking the library might be next on the list.
Harvesting Pecans
Growing up in Michigan, I have fond memories of going nut hunting as a child. I think this was one of the big reasons why I wanted to plant nut trees as part of the Boutique farm.
A Temporary Greenhouse
Moving household objects over the mountain is one thing, trying to move plants is a completely different beasty! I was able to move my interior house plants on my own in my SUV. The exterior plants, especially the larger ones I needed help. My friend Laurie with her refrigerated truck came to my rescue!
Assessing the Damage and Making the Repairs
The last item off the truck was our antique Queen Anne style buffet table from 1910. It was one of the first antiques that Andy and I bought as a couple. As the movers were removing the blanket from it, I noticed that two of the legs were moving. The buffet has no moving parts, so I knew this was not a good sign.
Gathering and Unpacking
Previously, I’ve posted about the trials and tribulations of packing. Finally, after eight long months, I can blog about unpacking!
Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Today’s post is focusing on the concept of Resilience and how one (in this case me) can use it to handle adversity when it slaps you hard in the face!
Moving, Moving, Moving!
At this point in our relocation adventure, Andy and I have concurred we are never, EVER moving again. This will indeed be our forever home!
Purge Baby Purge!
I’ve never been a fan of having a ton of stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I like having nice things and I make a point of investing in quality items when I make a purchase. But… having chosen the career path that I did, I’ve learned to focus on quality over quantity.
