| The Glencroft | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I bought this house around 1990 and finished in in about two years. Since then it was moved around a lot, and my tastes changed, too. So for the past five years or so I've been trying to refurbish the poor thing... |

| This is the inside around 1993. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is how the outside looked in 1993. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| And some time later I applied new stucco to the outside, to make the wood look 'embedded' instead of 'glued on top'. I also removed the picket fence, which by now was very badly damaged... The sign says this is "Snowdrop Cottage" |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A few years later I replaced some of the faded wallpaper with stucco. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |

| Meanwhile I'm also redecorating the inside. I used the downstairs mahogany floor for the big bedroom upstairs, so now both rooms have the same floor, which is much easier on the eyes. The stucco in the small bedroom is still all right, but the wallpaper in the big bedroom was yellow and damaged in places. |

| At the moment I'm still adding more vines to the outside. Leaf by leaf - very tedious work!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To the next project... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
