Firstly, cedar was installed in the gable ends. The contractor worked with us to get the bell curve (under windows) just right!
Next, (much to the dismay of the family of squirrels making a home up there), the architectural trim (soffit, fascia, crown moulding, etc.) was installed.
Below is a soffit and crown moulding detail. The space between the stone and the crown is to allow fresh air into the attic. There are venting strips in that space to keep critters out.
Finally, the copper gutter was installed. Love it! It's currently still the warm and shiny colour, but in a few more months will oxidize to a bronze colour and in many, many, many years turn the minty green colour (think roof of parliament buildings in Ottawa).
(The first set of gutter clips put on were very ornate. Luckily we had a first class contractor who changed them out for these simpler clips. Much better.)
As a friend of ours put it: "It's like jewellery for your house!"
Beautiful! I am totally on board with the lighter trim. A stone house down the road has recently had all of its trim painted black--very trendy, but much too heavy IMO. Your house looks beautifully light. (And sparkly thanks to the copper!)

Thanks so much Jenny from Germany!
DeleteHi! Love your blog and Instagram feed. Your home is incredible! I have a question about the shelving you've done. I have old 2x12 material, but wasn't sure what you did to prep it before mounting it. Did you sand, put any type of clear coat on it, etc. Thank you! Also, what type of mounting hardware did you use?
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen tile can standout or contrast, but you always want them to blend in with what you’ve got going on the cabinets and the floor. You do not want to get dizzy walking into your kitchen from all the “busyness.”

WPC wall panels are highly durable and long-lasting. They are resistant to common problems associated with traditional wood panels, such as termites, rot, and decay. The plastic content in WPC panels also provides protection against moisture, making them ideal for use in areas that are prone to high humidity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
ReplyDeleteWPC exterior wall panels are such a fantastic choice for outdoor spaces! They offer the perfect combination of durability, weather resistance, and a beautiful, natural wood look without the maintenance. I love how these panels can elevate the aesthetic of a home or commercial building while being eco-friendly and long-lasting. Plus, their ability to withstand the elements, like rain and UV rays, makes them a smart investment for exterior applications. Definitely considering WPC panels for my next outdoor renovation project. Thanks for the great insights!

ReplyDelete"Awesome post! High-density polyethylene sheets are one of my go-to materials for so many projects. Their incredible strength, chemical resistance, and UV stability make them perfect for both industrial and everyday uses. Whether it's for creating durable signage, protective barriers, or custom storage, HDPE sheets always deliver. I also love that they’re a more sustainable option, being fully recyclable. Thanks for sharing these insights—HDPE truly is an underrated material with endless possibilities!"
