Moose can often be seen outside the windows of the cottage.

On an average day, this is what the cottage living room looks like.

But today, the fisherman is repairing his net.Β  (Thank you, Hubs!)Β  The camera stays out too, in case of more moose sightings.

The house is still under renovation.Β  The ceilings haven’t been restored yet.Β  And they have only just begun to work on the front entryway.Β  Drop cloths have been hung in the doorways to protect the rest of the house from the renovation mess, of course.

    Excpet for the moose, it looks a lot like my own fisherman’s cottage: it’s the exact same floorplan and it’s even also under renovation πŸ˜‰ You’ve done an amazing work!

    This house is so fresh feeling! So open, spacious, and refreshing! You can tell no kids live here, unlike my own house, where stuff is scattered everywhere, LOL!

    Thanks again for hosting a wonderful contest!!

    I’m proudly sporting some new gray hairs as evidence of my personal achievement πŸ˜‰

      I finally figured out how to comment! haha!

      This house is a wonderful renovation, just the coating of a lighter color made it look so lively and opened up the corners to add a fantastic depth!

      The kitchen is wonderfully done it looks very classic!

      Thanks for holding this great contest!

    The moose in your last post makes sense now. XD

    I love this house Christina!
    The furniture looks so stylish, but still feels like it belongs in a fisherman’s cottage.
    I really like how you even made it look “still under renovation”, that is so clever. πŸ™‚
