CURRENTLY LOVING

Happy Monday, I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I apologize for the delay in updates, we are still slowly making progress around the house.

The past couple weeks I have been creeping my way through the insulation process. The electrician has run all of the new wiring and has started re-plumbing. Once we finish insulating, we will be moving onto the sheet rock! Hopefully, this week I will be back to posting more regularly. The insulating process has not been a very inspiring one :). I gave dad a little well-deserved break from working around the house while I insulate.

One of the projects I plan to incorporate in the house, once it is finished, is a gallery wall of some of my favorite architectural images from the house before the renovation. The weekend after I purchased it I took a few photos of the details around the house before the renovation started. Below are a few of my favorite images that I hope to compile into the gallery wall. I think I may make them black and white, what are your thoughts? Black and white, or color? The lighting was really pretty on the day I took them. It was evening and the warmth of the evening lighting really shines through.

Originally this was the back storm door. It has a full panel of windows. I have decided to use it as my pantry door.

Gracie doesn’t stay still enough for photos often, but I caught a beautiful picture of her. It will have to be incorporated.

This old birdhouse was probably crafted by the previous owner. He was the high school wood working teacher for years.

The kitchen windows are one of my favorite features in the house.

What do you think, black and white? Or color?
