Saying adieu on 123123

On By halfpass

It’s been quite the year. I sold my beloved Bella Blu Farm, moved to a smaller home in Florida, my dearest Joylena has a new and wonderful owner, then the we sold the Cove House and moved into our new lovely, but flawed, place on the Bay in West Islip.

I’m still unpacking. And yeah, I’m tired. Definitely too many goodbyes for me this year. Looking forward to 2024, which SHOULD be uneventful by comparison. But, you never know!

Here are some photos from the last 2 months. Most are holiday but I’m trying to give you a sense of where we are on “ before and after “ here at the new place.

Living room from the pass through of the kitchen.
Still thinking to paint the built ins white to open the space up.
Holiday drink at Tres Palms.
Christmas walk at Robert Moses.
The tree!
So much still to unpack so the foyer was only modestly decorated.
From the second day floor.
Painters priming
Before the gray got eliminated! Loving it white.
Before in the library.
Schuyler and Spencer dreaming by the hearth.
The tree at night.

Hoping, as the boxes dwindle, my posts increase. We are off to Bella Blu South soon. Wishing everyone visiting my blog a happy and prosperous New Year!
