A little about us

Welcome to Living 511! We are so glad you are here. Just a little about us. Charles and I have been married for 19 years. We share love for historical homes, antiques, and most of all each other. Oh, we love coffee too! In our free time, we enjoy scouring antique stores and flea markets searching for items for our home.

Our faith is the foundation of who we are.   So while you are here at Living 511, we want to share our lives, our home, our faith and our testimony with you but most of all we want to share the love of God and his son Jesus

Love and Prayers, Renee and Charles

Forgiveness… it is something that we all have experience with whether we are the forgiven or the forgiver. We always associate forgiveness with acknowledgement of the wrong followed by an “I’m sorry” or “I apologize”.  Forgiving someone is never easy but it is easier when they acknowledge their wrong and want to make it right.

A New Year, A New Direction

Hello Friends! How is your new year going so far? Great, I hope.  As the new year approached, I began thinking about different goals and ideas that I wanted to pursue in 2019.  One of the areas that was on my list of things to pursue is this little blog of mine.  This space has been an area of neglect for the past few years.

Hello friends! Well, it has been a while since my last post. At the time I created this wreath, I never intended it to be a tutorial. Honestly, this wreath was created primarily out of the need to make a fresh wreath fast. However, when I posted this picture on Instagram, I received several request to do a tutorial. I decided to create this post so you too can make a simple and easy DIY wreath of your own.

My dear friend Abbie from The Gray Cottage reached out to me and asked if I would like to participate in a “simple” fall home tour with her and a few other bloggers. So grab your coffee and take a little tour of our Cotton Mill House.

Our Journey to the Cotton Mill House

Two years ago Charles and I visited Edenton for our anniversary. We sat on the front porch of the Penelope Barker house and began to dream about one day living in the charming town that we had grown to love.
