Burrowing away

As those of you who follow me on Instagram already know, poor Ike has still not recovered.  When the vet examined him on Friday, he found out that the swelling on his foot had not gone down because there were MAGGOTS burrowing inside his wound and eating his flesh and muscle.  Can you believe that?!?  His foot has spent the weekend completely wrapped up, bandaged, taped, and heavily medicated.  I've been hand walking him, especially in the glorious weather today, and he was just dancing in place to be outside again.  We'll be unwrapping it tomorrow and I'll keep you guys posted on how it looks.  Fingers crossed!

Now to another type of burrow (sorry, that's as elegant of a transition as I can manage), this sweet home was built in the 1930s and restored every so prettily.  I am in love with the merging of the darkly painted dining room and gleaming white kitchen - and a big yes to the open shelving.  Also, as it feels like I've been on a rug hunt for forever, I can't help but want the rug in the kitchen as well as all of the ones in the bedrooms.  And that sunroom screams Rooth's writing room.  I'm sure the light is perfect in the mornings.

  1. It sounds like Ike is feeling pretty chipper. That's a good sign.
    I like this house. All I would need to do is get rid of the rug in front of the fireplace and fill up the wine cooler with Fresca. :)

  8. Poor Ike!! That's so scary! I hope he's not in too much pain (though I am from just imagining that scenario!). As for this house: I love that duvet cover in the first bedroom. Reversible gets me every time!

  9. I've been worried about Ike all weekend, poor man. I'm glad he's chipper and ready to go, but what.a.mess. Please keep us posted on how he's feeling. How often do you get to see him? I'd want to be there every day, every minute!

    Now. This house. So much to say! I'm quite envious of it actually. We have a mid-1930s home (1936), and I think these guys have done a much nicer job of opening it up than we could have. The whole place just feels so open, which is what I crave. I love that all window, nooky, officey room. And open shelving in the kitchen? We have them, and I will never ever have anything else. :)

  17. Poor Ike, at least maggots only eat dead skin so they probably didn't do too much extra damage. I shouldn't know these things. :)

    I love this house, the trim, the floors, the light. I also like that it's brick.

    This house on the other hand...gorgeous. Love! (Talk about rough transitions.)
