1,300 square feet. Attic storage (walk in), full basement with washer/dryer/sink. 3 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, 1 bathroom. 1/10th of an acre, with woods behind house. On street parking. Oil heat, natural gas for stove and hot water. House built in 1926, original kitchen cabinets and soapstone sink. Built in bookshelves, beautiful detail work for wood trim and door ways. Hardwood floors throughout.
Dining room with built in book shelves and crown molding.
My office upstairs...this room is intended as a bedroom. Low ceilings (hence "bungalow" style). Probably 12x16. The door you see in the corner lead to the attic storage space...you can walk right in. Several people have said that space would make a good second bathroom. It's a good idea. I don't have the $$ to do it, but someone will!
Living room, with dogs of course.
Kitchen, soapstone sink and original wood/glass cabinets.
Bedroom on the first floor. Technically I think it is a "den" because it has no closet, but I use it as my bedroom. It is adjacent to the bathroom, which is a nice setup I think.
Kitchen, different view. In addition to the shelving that I have, there is a built in pantry area (in the walkway next to the kitchen) that is huge. They built it over the basement stairs, a good use of what would otherwise simply be dead space.
Another view of the living room, looking towards the front door.
The spare bedroom on the second floor.
Garden beds in the back yard. If someone didn't want them, it's easy enough to take the frames apart and spread the dirt for the yard instead...
Looking at the house from the street. I don't have a driveway, but there's plenty of space in front of the house and the road is only driven by people who live in the neighborhood. It is a very low traffic area. On the topic of parking, though, it is possible to cut into the front hill to make a parking space or a driveway, I think. I have not gotten any quotes about it, but it seems to me that this is feasible.
The second floor landing, hallway looking into the spare bedroom. The door to my office would be to the left of this view.
Back yard again. Woods behind house (I am pretty sure it's unbuildable), nice stone wall, garden beds, flower gardens with perennials, and I also have a great compost pile in the far corner.
My office, looking from my desk towards the second floor landing.
A view from the flat part of the roof, into the woods behind the house. You can just barely see the garden beds in the back yard for reference.




















Caleb and Miriam's wedding was like no wedding I have ever seen. When they contacted me a few months ago and asked me to photograph their wedding, I was pleased- I knew Caleb as a student at WSC and liked him a lot. His energy radiated wherever he was and his sense of humor was infectious. Miriam made me feel like I was meeting someone unlike anyone else I knew...very strong, beautiful, kind, and interesting. She and Caleb were great together. Well, the wedding was yesterday at the Higgins Armory, and it was quite an experience. For perspective on this blog entry, I was JUST saying (Thursday night!) that photographers that wrote all the sicky sweet stuff about their couples in a blog were boring (well, maybe my choice of words were a little more colorful than that). That it was just a marketing tool. That I would never do it. And here I am, 5 days later, gushing about a wedding. Any way, the wedding was at Higgins, and I was concerned about the lighting. When I have shot for Higgins in the past, lighting is always a challenge...it goes from hard spotlights on displays to dark cavernous shadowy areas. Nothing in between. As it turned out, I needn't have lost sleep over it, it went just fine, and I used the existing lighting to my advantage. In fact, the best light I had (ever) was from the vending machine in their lobby! Yup. It was like having a huge softbox! Oh, I was in heaven when I realized what I could do with that vending machine. :)
