C5 Acres We’re going back to our roots! Fixing up our neglected 1916 Craftsman home and property to bring it back to all its glory.

04/05/2026

Now that the home is going on the market, might as well take yall on a little tour! We love the traditional craftsman style of this home. We never wanted to modernize it. We just wanted to update it to showcase its original charm.

Let’s start in the kitchen and dining room. If you enter the home from the mudroom, you will come into the kitchen. This kitchen has a TON of storage and we even removed a very awkward cupboard that basically hit you when you walked through the door. The kitchen would have been our next major makeover. We had big plans for this space. Remove the drop ceiling. New U shaped counter. Open up the wall to the dining room so it would flow together. But over the last 6 months or so I’ve heard that open floor plans are not trending anymore and people are actually closing off their open spaces. So maybe the new owners will like a more traditional floor plan.

Who remembers the floor to ceiling floral wallpaper in the dining room?! This room was the first to get a makeover since we spend a lot of our time gathered around the table as a family. Removed that lovely wallpaper, textured the upper half of the walls. Kept the beautiful original shelf, but added board and batten on the lower half to bring it back to its traditional craftsmanship. Those windows are still original single pane. Along with the kitchen remodel, we wanted to push out of the dining room and open up into a nice outdoor entertainment space. The backyard is huge and has enough room and then some to expand out.
The built-in speaks for itself. Has great storage space on the bottom and nice size shelves on the top for showcasing those special things in your life🤍

What an honor🥰 I had no idea I was even nominated for this!!

When I was asked to take over the library last year I couldn’t wait to get in there and turn it into a place students would actually enjoy coming to. I had no idea it would also bring me so much joy as well. I’ve made this place my home away from home. Even my own kids beg me to take them in on my days off so they can hang out and read books.

Working in a school right now isn’t always easy but I’m so lucky to be in a position to not have to follow a certain curriculum. I could be a regular librarian who just reads to kids and lets them check out books but I choose to be a librarian who does that AND teaches them about all different things like holidays, traditions, random fun facts, along with creating arts and crafts. This is a space students know they can come into for calmness, quiet and a break from their regular class time. That’s what makes me most happy. So just being nominated for this award means more to me than anything.

With that said though… I’m still very competitive and want to win so if you could, follow the link and vote for me please!!!🤣🥰 thank you so much!!!

First day of school for our 2nd grader, 3rd grader and 5th grader🤍📚 All so very different but also very much the same. No matter how much they argue and fight over the summer, when they go to school, they are a pack. I’ve said the same thing to them every time I drop them off for school. “Take care of each other.” They really do. We’re Carlsons🥰

And oh look, Matt’s side piece made the first day pictures. She’s getting her morning shower😒🙄🌱

✨Did you know?✨

🥚A chicken egg contains 7g of protein.
🥚A duck egg contains 9g of protein.
🥚A turkey egg contains 13.7g of protein.
🥚A goose egg contains 19.9g of protein.

The average woman needs at least 45g of protein a day. While men need 55g. Are you getting your recommended daily protein intake??
If you’re interested in trying any of these eggs, our entire flock is laying right now. Let us know!

🔊Calling all dudes!🔊

True or false?

There might only be a few things that feel better than a clean and organized shop🙌🏼

Matt feels ready to attack any project when his shop is in tip top shape. Tools are organized and easily accessible. No more tripping on boxes and equipment.
Is it the way he wants it? Not really. It’s been a work in progress since we moved in. But does it feel like a huge weight is lifted when the work bench is clear and the floor is swept? Yup!

Did I ask him to help me get the house clean and organized before spring break and this is what he did? Yep🙄🤣🤷🏻‍♀️
