MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

I'm sure I've mentioned this before but not in a while, so perhaps it's news.

The architect (he's also the builder) has submitted the veranda plans for approval. It's going to be deconstructed and reconstructed with new materials and adequate footings. He's also going to do the gables and maybe the money will stretch to a tessellated tile floor. Once we have approval, he'll put out the call for tender and do the first budget. Then we can get started.

When it's all finished, it'll be the first time in my life that the house has a smiling face. And I can't wait to see it!

Here's a before photo. You can see how shabby it is. And also it's easy to imagine how lovely it will be when finished.

When it's complete, I'll be hosting a dinner party on it with lights and bunting. It'll be my reward.

Very exciting. It does look like you have a great place to start with. I will be excited to see how it comes out for certain!

I hope you can include the tile!

That is gorgeous, MJ. Is that a pre~war model? It is going to be amazing when all done up. Will you plant the front with wild flowers again? I am so excited for you. I'd love to have something like that to play with!
