The one thing I like about winter.. having a fire going. When we started renovating our old house, we decided to put in a wood burning stove to have the room warm and at the same time you can use it for cooking. You can even direct a stream of warm air to the bathroom on the other side of the wall :-)
Would enjoy to have (real) chat there with you, by your fire ⛄️ 🔥
Good morning! You definitely have your priorities set right. How’s the renovation getting along?
Good morning! Having a fire going yet?
Sometimes, I think fixing the place takes forever. Some areas are coming along nicely though and the kitchen is just about finished. Lamps, window handles and a few other details... In spring I want to finish my bigger "summer studio". The "winter studio" is small, has its own stove (in addition to normal radiators) and is right next to the kitchen, so it is nice and cozy in the area where I spend most of the day :-)
Nope, not yet. I was distracted by the beautiful light so instead of carrying wood, I carried my camera.
When are you planning on moving in?
LOL... that's a true artists spirit!
Our house actually consists of three smaller buildings combined. There is the "newer" part, that was added in the 60s and that could be fixed to the point, where it was "inhabitable" rather quickly.. been living in that part for a few years already. Its small, but nice, because it has a balcony towards the back yard.
As for the rest.. well, we are.. half moved in 🤪 Will start using the new kitchen within the next few weeks.
Well that’s nice! Prob a lot easier to slowly start using the new parts too, don’t have to do everything at once.
In a way, it was good to take the time. A lot of things turned out to be better done differently than I originally planed. Nevertheless, its going to be nice to have no major (dirty) projects going on any more!
Have you ever thought of having your own house?
Of course I want to own a house at some point in my life, and it has to be in the countryside :)
