mindful living and our january/february magazine

As I flick through our January/February edition of the MFCH Magazine, it strikes me how many of the subjects tie in to my current obsession, namely ‘mindful living’.

Last year seemed to go by in the blink of an eyelid and this year I am determined to live more mindfully. To pay more attention to my special peeps; to declutter and restyle my home; and to continue to grow the garden as an extension to the house, a place to rest and enjoy, in harmony with the growing constraints of our changing climate.

The interiors we show in the January

Homeowners, Tell Us About The Home Improvement You Did, Big Or Small, That You Ultimately Ended Up Regretting

I bought my first home just about two years ago. All in all, it’s been one hell of a rewarding experience! I’ve completed a number of major and minor upgrades around the house that have been well worth every penny…and, ya know, the occasional blood, sweat, and tears. Emphasis on the tears.

But I’d be remiss not to mention that I haven’t always been thrilled by the results of every single project I’ve attempted in my two-year stint as a homeowner.

Do you Suffer from Instagram Worthy-itis? (What It Means to Create a Sanctuary)

Do you Suffer from Instagram Worthy-itis? (What It Means to Create a Sanctuary)

Sixteen years ago I coined a phrase, Magazine Cover-itis which described (all in fun) an affliction many who love design and decorating our homes could relate to at some level.

A healthy pursuit of inspiration, along with a desire to create and be surrounded by meaningful beauty in our homes can be so beneficial for our well-being.

But sometimes the inspiration fuels an inner tug of war with perfectionism, comparison or discontentment with what we have. That battle within can turn all the fun of design inspiration into an affliction that does not serve us or our home in the

Bomb Shelter Discovered During Basement Renovation In Bristol Home

When a construction and property company were renovating a basement in a client’s Bristol-based home, they stumbled across a piece of history.

Berkeley Place was working on a basement duplex apartment in Clifton when handwriting was found on one of the walls. The notes were recordings of WWII air raids in Bristol, which was a target for bombing due to the presence of Bristol Harbor and The Bristol Airplane Company. There were six major bombing raids on the city, in what has since become known as the ‘Bristol Blitz’.

Cadott schools seek nearly $10 million in referendum

Jan. 14—CADOTT — The Cadott School District will ask voters to support a $9,965,000 referendum in the April election, with the money going toward renovations and an expansion of the high school/middle school building.

Superintendent Jenny Starck said the referendum would be paid off over 20 years. If it passed, that would mean a $3 annual increase on a home valued at $100,000, he said.

The high school/middle school building would get renovations ranging from adding air conditioning to the construction of a new career and technical education center, which would feature an auto lab, he said.
