Kitchen now opens to Pantry

Go Figure!!!!  Since moving into my Arts and Crafts Home, here at Lawrencetown Beach, I've been researching my home and the "movement" to be confident that any changes I make are in keeping with the home's historic qualities.  I will be spending my summer doing something in the kitchen; but over the past 2 days, we finally "broke out" a wall. Prior to this, in order to get to the pantry, I've had to leave the kitchen, walk through the keeping room, down the hall into the living room and into…See More

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself:
I am semi-retired and recently acquired this property in Nova Scotia's historic Lawrencetown Beach. It is one of the oldest standing buildings in my community. Built in 1890. Gambrel Design as you can see from the photo.
Tell us about your Arts & Crafts house experiences and dreams:
I knew next to nothing (and still know very little) about the Arts and Craft movement, and am learning all I can so I can continue to preserve as well as continue the restoration of this home --- keeping in mind it's historic qualities. In 2011, I will be rebuilding the kitchen and expect that the experiences of the members of this site will help me enormously. What fun!!!!!
