Stratford Outside in June

Remember this?



Well now it looks like this ...



This is not to say that there isn't work to be done outside at our new home - I have lots of ideas. A few more pictures of the yard and deck as it looks in the early summer.







Most of the work this summer will be cleaning up and thinning out. The soil here is heavy clay and the plants are quite overgrown. Also, we are thinking of making some changes to the decks, adding a storage shed and garage - so any serious work on the gardens around the decks will have to wait until we decide what we're doing.

Stratford Reno - Almost There

The renovations to our new home in Stratford are almost complete. We decided to change all the floors and ended up selecting an engineered hardwood through most of the house. The kitchen and bathroom floors are limestone and the stairs are carpeted.

First some pictures of the main floor as it is now.






The kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity, built-in closet and stereo cabinets are all in matching cherry wood with an espresso finish and were designed and built by Woodecor





Here are Roel and Zeus sitting on our new carpeting and waving hello. And next a dog's-eye view of our new living space.





I'll end with the view from our bay window that I'm pretty sure we'll be enjoying every day. You can see more before and after pictures at Katamat.
