I'm impressed at the level of detail, such a great looking place. We did a similar gut job with a house we bought in rural Bedfordshire, needed a hell of a lot of work but it was worth it.

I do walk the house a lot just looking at the rooms! What I love about the layout is that you have to walk through rooms or by rooms to get to others and I always look around!<br />Virginia- we are in SW NH so probably not, but I love the romantic thought. It, in fact, reminds me of my own college days and is a post I am working on!<br />Christie- Thank you so much!

We incorporated the existing granite foundation into the garage. If you click "garage" under "topics of interest" on my sidebar you'll see some posts there, but you comment makes me realize a comprehensive "making of the garage" post is in order. Thank you!<br /><br />Catherine- you are sweet.
