Our Home

we live in a 120 year old Victorian house
that everyone in town calls

the Duff House

that's because
from about 1930 to 1980
the family that lived here was called

Duff

it is a work in progress
so bear that in mind as you take a peek

kitchen

don't you love the plastic on the window?
just one of the joys of living in a drafty old home

living room

dining room

Noah's room

Fiona's Room

upstairs bath

schoolroom

reportedly

this space was originally the office

of the doctor who first resided in the duff house

you can see it has it's own exterior door

upstairs hall

staircase

some exteriors i shot at christmas time

this is the original front of the house

sometime before 1930 the address was changed

the entrance reoriented to the side off the kitchen and driveway

the style is called folk victorian

this is the front now

we need to do some porch repairs and have it painted

which will hopefully happen soon

when we bought the house

the previous owner had wanted privacy

so he planted numerous trees and shrubs that almost totally obscured

the house from the street

when we started cutting everything down

we discovered the lamppost hidden inside an overgrown shrub

and the lightbulb still worked

next on the list?

some more new windows

work on the front porch
