The office
Not sure of wall color yet, but probably Svelte Sage
Ceiling is Dover White
Carpet is the Habit for Humanity ReStore remnant in sage with ivory leaves
Minka Aire ACERO F601-ORB ceiling fan in oil-rubbed bronze with mahogany blades and opal frosted glass, 100-watt mini-can halogen (at least I think I'll put this here, or maybe in the living room, guest room or master)
The house before a 1929 remodel. The photo date is an estimate based on the apparent age of Dan, the little boy on the rocking horse. L to R: Dan (b. 1891) in the wagon with the team of horses, George (b. 1845), ?, ?, George (b. 1897), ?, John (b. 1888) and Annie (b. 1858).
Farmstead: Before
This is a satellite view of the farmstead from Google Earth. We can't wait to see what it looks like next time they update it. So much improvement has been made! You can't even see the house here, but that will soon change.
