Almost There!!
It's hard to believe, but moving day is only one week away. The inside of the house is practically complete....except for some last minute plumbing and electrical hook ups. Unfortunately, our master bathroom toilet is on back order....but at least there are others in the house....so we will not have to use the woods!! Here are a few pictures of some of the fixtures...
Guest bath....I found this adorable bucket sink and built the bathroom around it. The vanity is made from old barn wood. The faucet looks like an old pump. And, the mirror is one that we found in the attic of the old log cabin on our property. It is very old and was in need of re-silvering; which we had done. I think it looks nice and rustic...the effect I was hoping for.
Kitchen counter with gas cooktop. Note the pot-filler on the wall behind the stove. This pipe dispenses cold water to any pot on the stove as needed. No more lugging those heavy kettles across the kitchen during canning season.
Black iron farm sink and dishwasher...the faucets still need to be installed....as well as the refrigerator in that space to the right. I love the hickory cabinets against the dark walnut flooring.
The front decks are under construction at the present time....here is how they looked this morning....

Snug As A Bug
"Snug as a bug in a rug"....that is how I would describe life in our little A-frame. We have all the essentials in a very tiny space. I thought I would give you a little tour of our living quarters for the next year while our log home is being built....
