The latest work at Peartree......

In the living room, Charles has designed and fitted small flip open windows to let in the natural light...

Hes  fitted an old door that opens into the garden, and done a lot more insulating...

The stair case from the kitchen is looking mighty fine too, with a neat work space at the side and fine plastering. You might even notice that he has wood paneled , all the stairway using reclaimed church pews !

Here is my favourite thing, the unwanted aga, that he has fitted and is now working a treat ( I know as I have cooked on it recently ! )

I love the old door he has chosen for the doorway from the living room into the kitchen.

Here you can see the lovely kitchen , Charles has restored an unwanted cupboard for the belfast sink and added hand made knobs, as well as cutting down an old cupboard and making me the large pine larder, its marvellous and very beautiful !

I had to show the floor in the kitchen, all created by Charles.

Another beauty of a door with hand made hinges...

You can see the paneling on the stairs and my little peep window which shows the clock face on the clock tower opposite :)

more of that amazing paneling....

At the top of the stairs it opens out to the library landing. Look at the lovely ceilings !

A close up of those ceilings and the paneling around the window there.

Also Charles commissioned local potter Marcus Holmes to hand make the ceiling roses using clay dug from the footings of the building.

Now the master bedroom has been plastered !

Its such a beautiful airy space, I am looking forwards to sleeping there.

The roof is made up of recycled pallettes, carefully cut and nailed into place, behind which nestles the sheeps wool that he has carefully chosen to insulate .

A view from the handmade window in the master bedroom.

This is taken from the far side of the master bedroom looking down towards the library landing and the new hallway that has been built.

These are special windows designed to catch and push light into the bathroom and Finns bedroom from a light box. Charles has used rose tinted vintage glass.

The ceiling in Dotties room is going to be rather spectacular, due to the recessed lighting.

Heres the hallway....

The arched window in the bathroom !!

The attic space which Mr Finn is very interested in !! ( as den space !)

Finns room is now taking shape, Charles is also building him a bed in there and a desk, using reclaimed antique furniture.

At last the bathroom, is getting there, I cant wait to be in the bath !

Here you can see the wall being created, the wonderful arched window and door.

Its going to be a very cosy place.

Attention to detail everywhere !!

Here are those rose tinted windows again.

Its all getting very exciting !!!
