As many of us know, living as women in Western society comes with seemingly never-ending scrutiny over our appearances, from the pieces we choose to express ourselves with to the shape of our bodies themselves. Chest size, facial features, and body types have trend cycles mirroring that of clothing. As if we can remove and relocate fat from our bodies as easily as we can take off a top and buy a new one. While movements like body positivity and body neutrality have grown in popularity over the past decade as more women have subscribed to those ideologies, the level…

The new build took four years from conception to completion, but the final product exudes that “old homestead” feel and appears as if it’s been nestled in the valley overlooking the meadow and Lake Catamount for over…
