Simply love those gunstock posts. My wifes family had a 1790s cape in Holderness NH with the same.

Here is an overall before and after:

I'm starting to do that with a few members, lol. I could (and have started to) spend all day on here looking at everyone's beautiful houses.

I know I've already posted mine, but this is a much better one. All the siding visible from the front is gone and this before shot has the sided gables as well. Can't wait for the true before and after when I have all the mouldings and sill corners restored as well as wood windows.

This thread has been dead for a while so I dug out some pictures from my archives to see if we can resuscitate it. Here's some before and afters of my kitchen project from several years ago. I replaced everything except for the ceiling. The flooring came out of a 1790s house. I built all the cabinets in my workshop. It took about 15 months from start to completion.

Thanks for the comments on the kitchen.

I had posted some pictures on OHW back when I completed it. I was amused a couple months ago when I received a typical email from Pinterest saying "you may be interested in.... "with pictures of pins. There was a pin of my kitchen in the email from them. Someone had pinned it from OHW.

For anyone on here that doesn't have a Pinterest account I recommend it. Its a great way to store ideas.

Oh I love my Pinterest! Whenever I get stuck on a project (specifically giving a shot at late Victorian landscaping), it gets my creative juices going again.
