It's been a busy time. We completed four projects in the past year - including refreshing a charming older home in Rockliffe, a first and third-floor addition and renovation in Westboro and a complete "stud gut" and addition in the Glebe, which we have just finished. More on our Glebe reno in another post, along with some awesome photos.
For now, I am pleased to announce we are back with another overhaul project.
We couldn't get much closer to home with this one. The long-time owner of the house across the street from ours passed away, which was a sad event for all on our street. Our lovely neighbour, Daisy, was a real treasure to all of us and was always ready with a smile and a wave. We miss Daisy and her warm family, who we got to know well over the past year. Daisy proudly owned her own home for many, many years, and we can't wait to restore it to its former glory and create a wonderful space for a new family.
The house is not without its' challenges. It still has knob and tube wiring, and because it's an older home, the layout needs to be refreshed to better suit the needs of a modern family.
Here's the house now .... with tons of junk sitting outside.
We are currently emptying the house ... (Ok, not "we" but it's getting emptied thanks to Warren, Steve and the goods folks who respond to Kijiji ads).
Bin #1 has already been carried away.
We've found some cool old stuff like this old bottle of "Bay Rum" Mentholated ... good for" insect bites, headaches, face wash and shampoo".
We have some wonderful plans for this home - I think it's going to be beautiful!
