The nursery, or...

This is one of my most favorite rooms in the house. It's right next to the second bedroom and right now, is serving as a nursery (will provide more pictures soon). What it may end up as down the road, remains to be seen. But what ambience, eh?

The second bedroom...

This is where the little girl that lives here sleeps. Isn't it just the coziest little room???? The bed was completely handmade and stitched by me. The rest of the room was furnished and decorated with odds and ends I already had on hand.

New exterior shot...

Ok, quite some time has past and its the year 2008. The mortaring between all the exterior stones has finally been done and a lot more of the exterior timbering and plastering has been done. It's making some progress. This has been a very slow moving project, but this has allowed me to savor each moment spent on it.

Bathroom...

Typically, old tudor houses didn't have full bathrooms; but this one does. And although a bit Victorian in nature, I just felt this style looked much better than many of the porcelain bathroom sets on the market today; so I went with it. I'm very pleased!

The master bed...

This is the handcrafted bed that was made for me by Martin Pierce of Willow Models in England. Isn't it just beautiful?! The headboard was personalized with my initials and my family crest. I'm looking forward to making the mattress and bedding for it one of these days when I get a free moment.

Finished kitchen...

Well, I'm sure I'll find plenty more to add at some later date, but for now the kitchen is finished. I love this room!

More kitchen...

Kitchens are one of my most favorite rooms to do and this one has been no exception. I had a dilemma about what to do with the empty wall space over the stove, so I built a chimney of sorts. It took a while for this to grow on me, but the more I lived with it, the more I liked it so it stayed. I'm hoping the copper band will patina over time.
