A Texas Hill Country Blog

We’re Mia and Joel working on our Texas Hill Country “Fixer Upper” one sore muscle after the next. We’re happy you’re here! We hope you’ll find hope, fun, and inspiration as we share our slow journey to home in the Texas Hill Country, where longhorns meander, and wild flowers grow.

Inks View Cottage will become the home of our dreams if elbow grease, grit, determination and God’s good graces have anything to do with it! This blog is Mia’s humble attempt to share our cobbled path towards renovating a 1950’s lake cottage into a Texas Hill Country treasure. Sprinkled along the uphill journey you’ll find stories of love and fun with our family, and our love for a Lagotto Romagnolo rescue dog. Texas Hill Country is a slice of Heaven, and we’re happy to share our story with you! Our vintage 1969 Airstream Globetrotter dubbed “Loverly” is a happy addition, and I share our (mis)adventures finding, fixing, and adventuring in this sweet “All I want is a room somewhere” (cue Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady) guest room at Inks View.
