The Soule House is cleaning house……or barn as it were! We've gone through the 3rd floor of the house and 2nd floor of our outbuildings and have loaded up the carriage barn with our finds. Everything from kitchen items, old mason jars, old cast iron frying pans (1 griswold to be exact!), 1960's vintage head skis, misc chairs and rockers, antique carpenter's tool chest, old suitcases, barn board pulled from our 1880 cannery just begging for you to repurpose. Also a little bit of new mixed in as well!

Peep the new sign for the barn. 👀

We pulled out some old barn board from our retired 1880 Dairy Barn to have this sign created. Thank you Bill from Ye Olde Sign Shoppe on another job well done!

Newel Post Alert!🚨 (See what we did there?! Hehe! 🤭)

Newel posts have been used since the 18th century as architectural elements and structural supports for staircases. They became especially popular in the Victorian Era. While our newel post may not be overly intricate, we still love the stately vibes.

It is rumored that a copy of the house plans were rolled up and placed in the newel post upon completion. You will also hear it told in many historical homes that the presence of the “mortgage button” (the plug/cap at the center of the post) meant that there was no lien on your property. The k**b, however, is just a decorative way to cover up the joinery.

We are unsure what secrets may or may not be hidden in our newel post but the loose piece on top sure does make us wonder! Check out comments to view.

What treasures do you think lie within?

Brides of Yesteryear!

We have a corner in our foyer where we pay homage to our Brides of Yesteryear.

🩷1930’s Bride: The first featured bride in the long, silk gown is none other than Elizabeth (Willson) Soule. She is pictured in her home on Main Street in St.Albans where she grew up. Betty was the last Soule member to have resided in the house and passed away at the age of 92 in 2006. The Soule family owned the property from 1870-2015. Betty was Vermont’s first woman candidate for nomination to the United States Congress. One local described Betty as “one classy lady. A cross between class and country. Dressed to the tea in style that was beyond this area.”

💕1960’s Brides: The next two brides were Betty’s daughters, Linda and Eulie. These gals were pictured in our foyer on our statement staircase. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the wallpaper and stair runner are different from today but it’s the same beautiful light fixture.

🩷The last picture is of a mystery lady. We are not sure who she is and if she was pictured in The Soule House. She likely is wearing her Sunday’s Best but because she is so stunning we thought she deserves to be alongside the Brides of Yesteryear.

MANTLE MADNESS!

Here is a sneak peak at some of the decorating going on at TSH this time of year. We just love the cozy vibes the Holiday Season brings!

Which mantle is your favorite? 1, 2 or 3?

So what is it that TSH does during our off season you ask? Well we like to host dinner parties and get all dressed up! Here we hosted a Bougie Dinner Party with close friends and family a few weeks ago. We had decided to make it a mask party and some people fully understood the assignment!
