Bringing it back up!

So, our 200+ year old stone house is finally getting some needed attention. We've evicted the snakes, mice, and rats (yes, rats) and Brian and Foster are working at bringing her back to life!

We have plenty of stones on hand to get the job done too. The lintels are from our fields.

The Dog House!

Ok, so this is a bit much, I know, but we needed to put something under the steps to stabilize them and I had seen this somewhere so I figured, "why not!" We have yet to see the dogs in it but I'm sure it will popular during thunder storms.

Our new kitchen!

 So I bought these cabinets at a place called Green Demolitions which is a non-profit that sells showroom kitchens and high end cabinetry that would otherwise be discarded. I bought these in 2013 and they've been in our barn ever since. I love them and I was able to find a dealer who could match them as we needed a few extra!

 This is our beautiful island made my T. Johnson in Hopewell. Its made from steel and salvaged

box-car wood.

It's quite heavy. Notice it's on rollers here.

 For comparison here are 2 pics of our previous kitchen. Rich is catching mice........nice.

Our new window seat.

This is Richard sitting on our new window seat in the bedroom. It was his idea and it was a great one as we have 4 huge storage drawers underneath. 

Eventually we will get a cushion made so that it's nice and comfy.

Finishing the Chimney

Dan and Dale are making it to the top, it was an amazing amount of work but it looks great!

Been a long time! Sorry

Ok, Ok I've been busy. I haven't posted anything since March but lots has certainly happened. I don't know where to begin so I will start with some pics and go from there.

The dogs are making themselves at home!
