Enjoy Life: Bedlam Farm. The Hopper Room

Bedlam Farm went on sale eighteen months ago, and this has without question drained and challenged us. We lowered the price by $100,00 and we aren’t going to lower it any more. We couldn’t if we wanted to, and we don’t, it is, as many realtors have observed, very well priced. I’ve always thought it would sell this Spring and so we are getting it ready to show. We checked everything out today and it is in great shape, although the grass is high, it is so wet no one has been able to mow it.

I must confess to being a bit shocked by the attitude and manner of many of the people who came to look at the farm (my favorite was one Massachusetts woman who sniffed at the farm and said she was used to an attached garage. Not for you, I almost said, but didn’t. After that, I left the showings to Kristin.)

This is the guest room downstairs, I call it the Edward Hopper Room because the curtains and light evoke Hopper and his paintings (the Provincetown poster is by John Dowd, but it is Hopper-like as well). The sign was a gift. Our day at the farm was nourishing, very grounding. We both love it dearly and cannot wait to meet someone who loves it also.
