Finally! The Carriage House apartment is ready for a tenant! We are so excited, mostly because it was a HUGE amount of work, and an ENORMOUS amount of time. It took a few months longer than I had hoped for, but we are very pleased with the outcome. I think it's cute as all get-out, and I hope a lovely tenant out there somewhere thinks so too. I think we're good neighbors, anyway.

Do you want a tour? I thought so...

We'll start with the kitchen, the hugest project of all:
It's not a large kitchen, and it didn't function well. That big patch over the stove was a problem, which led us to take out and replace that wall, the ceiling, and the wall opposite (Nate and Jake did the sink wall, the contractor did the rest).

This is the "after." You're excited, right? Me too. It's adorable.
I painted all the cabinets, fixed the trim, and helped with the installation. Bonus shot of me painting those neat floating shelves...
The rest of the apartment was getting new windows installed, refinishing the floors, and LOTS of painting, painting, painting. Huge thanks to to the incompar​able Alice Trost, the Octogenarian Wonder-Woman who paints with the best of them! Here's the tour--the captions are your tour guide.
That's it! Five months of Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, with some Fridays thrown in. We're pretty pleased with the result. What do you think?

    Welcome! I'm Michelle, and Lavender Fields Farm has filled my imagination for years. I am passionate about gardening and old houses, and the beauty and strength they represent. I celebrate these qualities in every person, as well. I am skilled at event planning and ceremony-crafting, and am trained in spiritual direction. I can create a ceremony for any milestone or transition in your life, and provide the place to observe it, whether by yourself or with a couple dozen friends. I'm excited that this dream is
    ​being built...
