Neligh Library Home

This blog serves as a journal starting in June of 2006 when I moved back to Nebraska with my three young children. Starting over with a new career in a new place can be overwhelming but I have focused my energy on the renovation of this beautiful building that will someday be a home for my family. The process is liberating and therapeutic. Since most of my friends and family are located around the world and are not here to watch, this blog will serve as a window to the journey.

We're In!






I guess I've been too busy enjoying my new home to blog much. Moving day was more like moving week. We slowly moved things so it was quite gradual and at some point we just started spending the night here. It's fabulous! The kids love their rooms (as do I) though "my" living room has turned into a racetrack for riding toys. I guess I should enjoy the time they want to spend in my company as in a few years they'll want more privacy. Things are still pretty cluttered as I find homes for everything then I'll have to figure out what furniture I still need. Enjoy the pics, ignore the clutter!

I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN!
and i noticed the living room rug:) keep it if you need it. I just don't want the mice chewing on it in the barn.

What a neat "library" house. Great design & effort. I'm sure it's a relief to be moved into your NEW home. Enjoy your hard work. I've enjoyed the blogs.

Hello, you have done such a wonderful job of restoring the library into your home. It looks so beautiful and inviting! I am originally from Royal, Nebraska but now live in LaVista, Nebraska, and I remember a few years ago, my dad had a meeting in that building (I believe it was called the Resource Center then), and I met him there on my way back home and waited there for him until his meeting was through. It looks very different now, but I am so glad to see that someone noticed the character in it rather than tearing it down and starting new. Thanks for all of your hard work in maintaining the historical beauty of the old library.
