BannockBurn {est. 1878}
BannockBurn 1878 is our home and the base for my design studio.
We have recently undergone an extensive renovation of the main floor and my studio.
This property is a special place filled with history. It is our intention to add to its charms while respecting and enhancing it’s historic beauty.
The care and feeding of a property such as this takes time… This house… This property is bigger than us. We are grateful for every day here knowing it was here long before us and will be here long after we are gone. Taking care of it… Loving it and doing our best to make it everything we can takes a lot of time. Someone commented recently that our gardeners must love working here and it made me realize that some people may be under a false impression of our life. We don’t have gardeners or groundskeepers, no housekeepers either…
So…
If you see a weeder a photo of the kitchen with some dirt on the floor, it’s my fault and if you see a pretty photo with beautiful flowers and perfect dappled light… Trust me, there is more than likely a bucket filled with weeds just off camera!!
