Pictures

[dancerjodi]

Here are some pictures from the house - some were before construction, some were during. Some are just plain silly. There are sections that don't have pictures yet but we'll get there (more likely to get there faster now that we have an internet connection to upload pictures with and some electricity to plug the computers into).

ya know...brimfield antiques fair is this weekend and the architectural salvage company Good Olde Things is always there. if you're looking for neat hardware, door knobs, some tin or other neat things (fireplace mantle, etc.) perhaps a quik drive out there might prove fruitful (and/or as a refreshing break from plaster dust.) it's also going on in september, of course. (just thougth i'd mention it.)

great house!

It's gorgeous! And I'm so jealous! :) At some point when I'm not sick with the flu I'd love to bring Jared down to help with any projects you have. Especially since we missed out on moving day.

So, when you house was listed, what type of house did they call it? It's looks a bit Victorian, but I can't figure out what people mean by "New Englander".

Ooohh

We did make it out of the house on Saturday and Sunday night but were working otherwise - I've always wanted to go to the Brimfield thing :)

I'll need to hit the one in September. Were you planning on going? Have you gone before?

"It's gorgeous! And I'm so jealous! :) At some point when I'm not sick with the flu I'd love to bring Jared down to help with any projects you have. Especially since we missed out on moving day."

The projects are getting less messy . . . we're getting to the end of plaster in most of the rooms and then can prime and paint (wheee). I can't wait to unpack things :/

"So, when you house was listed, what type of house did they call it? It's looks a bit Victorian, but I can't figure out what people mean by "New Englander". "

Its a Colonial (though I'm not sure what type - it doesn't fit any of the traditional styles you see around here most of the time i.e. garrison, greek revival, etc). A Victorian would be more ornate and would have more 'roundness' to it.

In all of the house listings we looked at I don't remember seeing any categorized as "new englander". Mostly were Colonials, Capes, Bungalows, Victorians (though they were limited), Ranch's and Split-levels.

Oh yeah, and Tudors *drool*

See, I thought Colonial was all about being one big box with two rows of windows and a single boring door right in the middle of the front. I think I need to figure out what all of these house types are. :)

But if you need help painting or unpacking at all, we're on call.
