House tour ~ First Floor Bathroom

 Again, not much to show of the bathroom.  We already removed the sink, and the rest is coming out when we get back in.  The floor under the toilet and tub is very weak and needs work before we use this bathroom on a regular basis.

House Tour ~ Pantry

 I apologize for these photos.  They really aren't very decent, but they're what I have of our pantry. 
First up is a photo looking in to the pantry. 

 Right inside the door, cupboards and shelves, in terrible shape.  The paint is peeling and chipping everywhere. There isn't drywall behind the shelves, just painted brick. 
One big cupboard at the end.  We assume there were at one time more shelves and cupboards on the right hand side of the pantry, but that wall was moved and now it houses an old washer and dryer.

House Tour ~ the kitchen

I feel like these picutres are fairly self explanatory, so the text will be limited.  Feel free to leave questions and comments though!



The view of the front of the kitchen. 

 Showing the hearth, cupboards, and fire place cover.  Also, note to the right is the entry to the pantry. 
 Pantry, and washroom doors, along with the wall that held the kitchen sink. 
 Wall opposite the fireplace, showing the door to the entryway and a bit of the hall towards the parlor.
 Largest of the three built in cupboards.
Hearth stones
The door covering the fireplace.  Note the charring. 
Interior of the kitchen fireplace, with the crane still intact. 
 Inside of the door covering the bread oven with lots of charring. 
 They placed an old slate in to cover the inside of the bread oven opening. 
A shot of the interior of the bread oven, which shares space with the bees hive oven on the outside of the house. 
Showing the curved top.  
The opening below the bread oven, which I believe is commonly used for wood storage. 


 Inside one of the built in cupboards above the mantle. 
 Closeup of one end of the mantle.
 The door that used to go to the summer kitchen.  I love the peephole that was cut in to it.
