It’s cherry blossom season ‘round here!! And the goslings are getting SO big!! 🌸 Snowdrop Primrose are now 7 weeks old 🪿🪿 They live in a coop outside (still heated on cold nights until all of their adult feathers are in) and we supervise their free range time grazing. We’re building an aviary & moving tractor for them. They can only come in for short jaunts now (if you know you know 🫣) but they still want to follow us everywhere. They love pets and cuddling up with us for naps (and having grass plucked and hand fed to them 😂) #themeadowhouse #themeadow #fairytalemodern #ididmyhomework check out LL&Co for outfit details
how to train your gosling 🫶 Geese are often misjudged and -though verrrry protective- are some of the sweetest animals on the planet. They are the strongest imprinters and will follow their “mama” around everywhere. We have two female embdens, Snowdrop Primrose (the white mother goose kind) 🪿🪿 If you want super friendly cuddly geese, you need to spend lots of time with them every day, take them out on adventures (they loooove grass and you can earn their trust by picking handfuls of it for them when grazing) and make sure to het them used to lots of physical touch, pets and company. They love their people in such a trusting, beautiful way. 🫶 ps- they aren’t really potty trainable so jaunts inside need to be fast and -even then- have your cleaner & paper towels ready! #themeadowhouse #fairytalemodern #geese #liessgeese

Reviving @battlerunfarm has been a dream come true!! When our clients, Anne & Chris, emailed about the diamond in the rough they’d found in the mountains with peeling wallpaper and crumbling stucco it was a pinch me moment!! We installed phase 1 this week (with more to go including curtains, MORE art, exterior & pool house!) SO grateful to Anne & Chris for their trust, sense@of adventure, and general amazingness, to my team at @laurenliessandco for their incredible hard work, dreaming; and attention to detail, and to the @welshconstruction team for their impeccable craftsmanship, dedication, and willingness to do cool stuff. Full video story coming soon on you know where!! #Battlerunfarm #laurenliessinteriors #interiordesign
We get asked a lot about our kitchen gardens / the structure etc so I wanted to share a video of our old garden in early spring (when the spring peepers were out!) I like to build raised beds with 5-6” ledges on top so we can sit on them for weeding/ hanging. The deer did NOT ever go up into this garden which was on a terrace with very low walls and filled with pea gravel. Don’t know if it was the stucco walls or the couple of steps up/ down needed to get in but they just didn’t enter. I also love a dining table or seating area in the garden because when I’ve done all that work to make a garden want to be able to sit, hang, eat and entertain in it. A central table also gets lots of use for picking in large quantities and having somewhere to set it all. 🌿 We also had wisteria growing up the back terrace and I never had any regrets about- it never hurt the house and I loved having something to cut back and I loved the romantic unbridled feel it gave to the place. 🌿 And finally, we have seedlings going in our cold frames right now and I am beyond excited!! happy planting!!
This is your reminder to open the windows in your home as much as possible!! Just 1 hour of open windows a day is beneficial!! (I am NOT good at this when it’s cold out but am trying to get better!) It doesn’t have to be all the windows/ fully open, just a breeze coming in, (the more the merrier tho!) By letting in fresh air, you’re not only refreshing your space but also boosting your physical and mental health. Or try what we do sometimes, pull a little table up to an open window and have a dinner date. 💨Fresh outdoor air helps to dilute indoor pollutants and reduce the buildup of carbon dioxide, dust, and allergens, promoting cleaner air in your living space. 🌿Increased airflow reduces the concentration of harmful chemicals, such as VOCs from household products, which can lead to improved breathing and lower the risk of respiratory issues. ☀️Enhanced Mood: Fresh air and natural light can have a positive effect on mental well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, and boosting overall mood. 💤Better Sleep: Ventilating a room with fresh air, especially at night, can improve sleep quality by lowering CO2 levels and regulating the room’s temperature, (depends on the season) which creates a more comfortable sleep environment. ❤️Boosted Immune System: Regularly opening windows can help increase circulation of clean air, which may help the body fight off illnesses by providing a healthier environment. 😎Increased Energy and Focus: A burst of fresh air can help increase oxygen levels in a room, improving concentration, alertness, and overall energy levels. #loveyourhabitat #downtoearthhome
Do you know about the “secret stool?” For years I’ve been designing kitchens with the cook in mind and sometimes this cook likes to sit down at the island to chop or hang with friends/ family. 😊 I don’t want to have to leave my station because chances are I’ll be up and down but it’s nice to have that sit. We also love eating at the island as a family so we did two in this kitchen so my husband and I could face the kids. Whenever a client has room and/ or dining at the island is a request, in goes that secret stool! 🙌 Full HOUSE TOUR up on our you t. U. Be chnnl!
A historical bedroom transformation at @battlerunfarm 🤎 hellooo color!! | we said goodbye to the chimney woodburner that were taking up valuable space in the bedroom and made room for guests with 2 queen “saltwater” beds (from my collection with Woodbridge Furniture) 🤎 Mottled brown Limewash and robin’s egg blue woodwork were a bit of a stretch for our client (Thank you for trusting Anne! 🫶) but we absolutely love how it turned out!!! Antique trunks at the ends of the beds with a vintage rug, chair (not seen) and art are paired with new bedding and dresser for a timeless collected feel. Can’t wait to show you the full house tour!! | interior design by Lauren Liess Interiors | Renovation by @welshconstruction

☀️sunshine shadows in the restored kitchen at @battlerunfarm | we still have a few details to go- corbels on the range hood outlets covers- but swipe to the end to see what it looked like before we got our hands on it. With the range centered in the kitchen (taking the place of the brick refrigerator situation) and the pair of windows swapped out for doors to the future kitchen garden we were able to gain function balance and a whole lotta charm. A sweet floral wallpaper is juxtaposed against strong, rustic cobblestone flooring with mustard and oak cabinetry. We’ve had the best time installing here for our amazing clients this week!! 🫶 design by us at Lauren Liess Interiors | renovation by @welshconstruction | cabinets made by JD Cabinets
