Landscape + The farm animals

Here's some pictures of the yard and our pets.
This is Kobi, our Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

This is our Lop-eared rabbit Twil-Tee.

This is a large willow tree in our front yard.

This is our garden, it's only a small patch as it's our first, tester garden. Next year we hope to expand it. We're growing carrots, green peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.

This is our backyard, on the left is an old broke down wagon and on the right is our plum tree which produces delicious plums in the fall.

This is one of 3 barns on our property. This barn is in the worst shape and desperately needs a renovation or it will probably fall down.

All fixed up! - After Pictures

Here's picture's of the farm after a summer and a bit's worth of work. The bathroom was terrible so I will dedicate an entire post to it. Here we go, the pictures are in the same order of the "Before" post. If there's no picture of the room, nothing was done to it.

Here's the main living room, or the "Summer kitchen." All that this room needed was a fresh coat of paint (on the floor, walls and ceiling). The couches are old couches with couch covers on them.

This is the kitchen, we're currently putting in laminate flooring, so you'll see that in it's own post.

This is the main floor bedroom, we re-did the ceiling, painted the walls, and added a curtain. We just bought a new quilt for the bed which is not pictured.

These are the upstairs bedrooms, all we did was add furniture to these 2 rooms!

This is the dining room, just added furniture to this one too. Although, the ceiling needs a coat of paint, and new wallpaper/paint and we need to do the floors.

History

First Post!

This is the -over 1 year- history of the farmhouse while it was in our possesion.

When we first bought 'the farm' (as we now refer to it) it was in rough shape. The structure was mostly fine but there was alot of cosmetic fixes to do to it. Window shutters had fallen off, the inside was a mess. There was old paneling on the wall, gross (lead) paint covered the walls and floor. Alot of improvement occured.



As you can see, it was rough, the front door was pretty much rotted through.
This is the room you enter when coming in through the side door. You can see the remnants of red paint on the floor and the wall was a dirty beige colour. This is the kitchen, the floor is ugly, peeling vinyl and you can see the paneling I mentioned. You can't tell in this picture but the ceiling is absolutely black with soot. This is the galley kitchen which consists of a double sink, cabinets and very limited counter space.



This is the first floor bedroom, the light is literally a bulb hanging on a wire, and the ceiling is falling apart.
This is one of 2 of the upstairs bedrooms, the other one being identical to this one.
This the dining room (or parlour, as it would have been in it's day). And yes, that is just a mantle.

In my next post, I'll show you the farm in present times.
