Well, it's taken some time, but I've finally put together pictures of the primitive kitchen. It's in the room where you enter the house from the back door. A little over a year ago I closed the store and this room had been part of it.

Closing in the Front Porch ...
We've been working on this since last summer. Brian bought the windows from our neighbor for $5.00 each and had the boards from a thrifty purchase made years ago. It's taking a long time to fit each board in the uneven porch but it's coming out so nice. It is "L" shaped so when you leave the livingroom to go onto the porch the double doors are straight ahead and a Sitting area will be to the left. To the right and around the corner is the largest area and has the dining table. We had the two doors given to us and the panes don't match, but I'm painting them white and if that doesn't help I'll work on a disguise! LOL

Flowering quince in full bloom ...
I just love this old bush and it is especially full of beautiful blooms this year! It's on the driveway side of the house just outside my dining room window. See why I love sewing in my dining room??? Lots of light and such a beautiful view!
