the "new" homestead

The view of my house from across the road. (Don't mind the dates on the pictures, they're more recent than 2005)
That's right it's home owning time!  Which means the blog will now be used for home renovating ideas. My hope is to make the house as sustainable (or green if you will) as possible. I've been doing some research in to cheap and sustainable options and have found some pretty amazing ideas. Some of my favourites this far include a compost hot water heater and pallet crafting.

Currently the house is in rough shape, but with a little bit of work it will be amazing! I have an acre and a half bordered by my maple syrups friends' new farm's land. We are all very excited about the possibilities for this land. There is also a garage that has seen better days, that I have big plans for in the future.

I look forward to sharing the renovation plans with all of you and welcome any ideas (and labour) you may want to contribute.


Coming in the side door to the kitchen.

From kitchen door to front door... will hopefully be all open soon.
Front door in to 'for now' living room.
The barn... needs work.
