the new addition

Well I finally have some better pictures of the new rooms that were added on this past year.

It took just about 12 months from start to finish with the addition.

The weather was our biggest enemy.

This is the new den right off the kitchen and connected to out new downstairs bedroom. There is a basement on this side of the house and the stairs are to the left of this picture. We have a small cast iron wood stove down there which we plan to use for secondary heat.

We now spend 99% of our time in this cozy room.

This is our old bedroom upstairs. I repainted the walls applesauce, not totally finished,

still have to paint ceiling. I want this room to have a cottage feel.

The chest of drawers & nightstand were my grandfathers.

I painted them blue years ago and left tops natural.

The bear is made from an old quilt that my mother had from her family.

My family knows that I have a thing for mice...not live ones!

Sister, Anna Marie found this cute display with 25 bisque figures.

It now has a home in the cottage bedroom.

This is our new bedroom on the main floor.

The furniture was a set that

I helped my parents select when they moved to Halifax in 1976.

There is still many things to do, curtains, finish some painting,

get the cabinet doors hung on the

two built in bookcases in den & bedroom....

.and plenty outside work..

But I love our home and hope to have many family & friends to visit!
