Drying In The Downstairs

2023 gave us one more gorgeous day to get one side of the house ready for the next step… bricks! 🙌🏻

Mike and I spent nearly all day “drying in” the back side of Pauline Manor. This project turned out to be a little bit more than we bargained for once we got into it, but turned into another chance for us to work together as a team and get it done.

We then hosted some friends for snacks and drinks, rang in the East Coast New Year (11 pm our time lol), and called it a night. I barely remember a half-asleep Mike saying “Happy New Year” when the neighbor's fireworks went crazy waking us at midnight 😂 It was the perfect way to close out 2023.

2024 has started with a warm, sunny day as well, so I’m spending it sitting on the front steps, sipping coffee and watching the pups play in the yard. Still in awe of this home and how much we have gotten done in just one year. So very excited to see what 2024 holds.

Happy New Year friends. Sending you all the love and blessings for a great 2024.

We’re Mike and Lynsey Kmetz, a couple with five dachshunds and one very big project — restoring a 1908 Victorian we found on Zillow that’s now Pauline Manor. Nestled in Cantonment, FL, it’s where a micro-bakery, garden, and slow-steading lifestyle meet thrifted charm and a whole lot of heart. We’re keeping history alive—one loaf, petal, and project at a time.
