Hello Everyone!
I hope your week is going well thus far.
I have been soaking up the Autumn Sun and working on our home renovation for the last few days.
The one thing that always leads to another...
Our new hallway...
Is now complete~Ta-Da!
Since this house has never had a hall before...this is a very big deal for us!
The only thing we have yet to do...is install the doors and the transom glass.
We are not doing this yet because I don't want to have to keep them clean!
I am going to wait until every bit of renovation dust has settled ! Okay so not all of it. Just the big stuff!
This is the utility room at the back of our home and then the garden just beyond. I chose to use burlap draperies instead of doors...I really like the openness.
Out of this little window at the end of the hall...
You can see Tinker House and the cottage.
I am often asked about the cottage and how far away it is.
As you can see...just a few steps from the house.
Going back down our new hall ...
We pause for a moment so that you can see the Venetian plaster walls!
I love them!
The entire hallway was done in in this technique~even the ceiling!
We are now working in the new kitchen and dining room.
Well, currently waiting to rent the floor refinishing equipment.
Then, We will be working on the kitchen and dining room!
My hubby still has mill work to complete and I...
Must get back to work out in the cottage/studio.
We are now 17 days away from Horton's Christmas Open House!
If you haven't already,
Mark your calenders for
Saturday, November 12th
I will be there as well as my dear friend Rebecca!
I still have much to do!
Until next time...

It's looking great, Donna! I love transom windows. How lucky are you that your husband can do mill work?? Maybe I could send my husband over for an apprenticeship? :)

Love the new hallway and the burlap drapes are perfect. The transom glass will look wonderful-so fun following your progress!
ReplyDeleteDonna, it looks wonderful. Love that table style and what a great vignette.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so amazing Donna. You and your husband did a great job! Love the view out the window! :)

Burlap drapes instead of a door? Clever! Love your view looking at Tinker and the Cottage. I see the leaves are falling. Very pretty but clean up, not so much.
ReplyDeleteIt is so gorgeous. I dream of having doorways with transom windows. They are so lovely. I love the spaces you featured and all the lovely touches throughout.
