Our Remodeling Project

For Ed's family who lives outside of the U.S., we like to keep updated photos of our ongoing building, remodeling and landscaping projects.  Below are photos of the front part of the house.  Looking forward to eventually remodeling the bedrooms and bathrooms!

Fire place with my grandmother's clock and pictures. 
The clock originally belonged to my great grandfather, Ernest Simpson, and was made in the late 1800s.
The pictures are from the book, Sunshine All The Year Round, written in 1888, and belonged to my great grandmother, Susan Stanwood.  My grandmother loved both clock and photos, and as long as I can remember, had them above her own mantle.  When she died, my grand father gave them to me, and I had both items restored.

My heritage cabinet, with restored photos of my great grandparents.

Our antique hutch, a restored French country piece made c1920.
My mother was an avid Hummel collector, and her pieces are prominently displayed,
along with the ashes and photos of our dogs that have passed away.

One of our favorite places in town is the Maurice Car'rie winery, shown in these illustrations by local artist, Ronald Chambers.  The one on the left is called View From the Gazebo, and the right is Balloons Over The Winery.
