HISTORY & RENOVATION/BUILDING SPECS:

When we bought 124 Shouldice in 2012 the primary farmhouse
was long gone and all that remained as a residence was a
small granny suite built some 100 years. With no insulation
and cracked single pain windows, we renovated with the
hopes of maintaining the old country charm, keeping
original wood floors and staircase as well as pressed metal
ceiling throughout. Although weathered, the original wood
siding gave character and had a story to tell so rather
than cover it over we spruced it up with countless coats of
stain to bring it back to life.

Things we focused on during this reno and the subsequent
build of the addition are warmth, energy efficiency, space
efficiency, simplicity, and creating a bright welcoming
space where one can observe the beauty of the surrounding
countryside
