Cottage Construction Chronicles I

This is the living room. I love the casement windows with the diamond shaped mullion design. The drapes are another story:



Bret and Adam made this temporary dining room table. They made it for the breakfast nook, but it was too big. After the furniture arrives, or we buy new, I still want to keep it. It'll come in handy!


We received a wonderful surprise in our first mail delivery from Susie and Greg! A group photo of da gang!


Here's where it sits, so we can see it all the time!

Adam's new room, tidy as ever:

Our tall trees out back:
...Out front:
I love the ivy creeping up the brick with the casement window. It looks like out of a fairytale to me:

And that is our first full day in our little cottage in the woods...
