Have kept the yards and landscaping rustic but also have cleaned up extensively and added flowers, hostas, window boxes, tables and umbrellas and chaises etc. to create a comfortable and welcoming space to relax and entertain… a bit of Olde Cape Cod in a time capsule. Even now we continue to make improvements to the outdoor spaces, to be posted soon or eventually!

Project last spring to make the railing above the stairs safe! decided to just use cleats and rope, thanks to the suggestion and idea of a friend! came out looking good, and functional even more than visually interesting.

Ok, this light and fan was selected and installed in the Cottage unit. It appears somewhat cheaply made, but is just wonderfully bedazzled with faux jewels and has a reliable wireless remote control to adjust fan speed, brightness and even color temperature to change from cool white to warmer amber hue. The fan keeps the cottage cool in summer and functions quietly. It was theorized that it suited the antique nature of the space nostalgic of something like an old speakeasy or gambling riverboat. I won’t skew the poll by sharing anyone’s opinion about it, but let us know, do you like this fixture for the space, Yes or No… (or other). If you have read all this you’ve gotta vote!

Ok, here are a few random items and small projects that were tackled. Slide 1 and 2: dimmable bistro lights on smart switch for ambiance on the wraparound porch. Slide 3: new outdoor lanterns on either side of the entry door. Slide 4: removed sink and prep baseboard and wall and floor for new vanity, sink and countertop. Slide 5: updated connection for new stack washer/dryer in the small laundry room on the porch. Slide 6: just a look at the cleaned out crawl space behind the original plaster and lathe of the second floor walls. Slide 7: update and repair/replace fittings for the washer/dryer at the laundry room in the basement of the cottage unit. Slide 8: just one of the many fittings that needed inspection and replacement, this one in the section of the basement with a crawl space of more that 8 inches hahaha. Slide 9: paint the tarnished brass king headboard black to match all the other black accents and make it look new again (with the help of Kobe of course). Slide 10: just a peek of trenching the main driveway for conduit to get the 100m run of fiber optic cable pulled through to the house for high speed Internet…

Board fence and chain link were installed to create privacy and separation between the cottage and main house. A second path was created toward the pond through the gate at rear of chain link section behind the main house. The fenced private yard is great to make a pet friendly rental, the gates provide privacy, and the two new outdoor showers were installed right afterward, pics to follow soon!

Became time to do everything at once. Investigate the ancient sheds and structures on the property, replace appliances, find some relics such as the croquet set, procure grills and griddles. This was just the beginning but it was great to start making progress! The neon 🦞 sign was just a surprise bonus!!!

Some photos from the 2020 listing when the house was going to go on the market. Photos enhanced, small furniture used, fisheye makes spaces look large and grand, looks very clean. On close inspection, mostly it is lipstick on a pig, but the house still showed its awesome character and antique charm!
