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!)

ReplyDeleteHi! 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?

ReplyDeleteNew home development has various advantages. When you’re in the market for another home, you need to decide whether you need another home or a pre-possessed home. This implies you need to consider expenses and highlights to make sense of where the best arrangements are. To learn of the considerable number of advantages, you need to locate the correct home builder in Aurora. When you find the correct manufacturer, the advantages turn out to be increasingly self-evident.
Your 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.”
