Thanks for choosing Elmira! 💛 #repost @thefairlylocalfamily👇🏼

When we first got here, there were trees inches from the walls of the house, and lots of them. We had to cut a radius of full grown trees and brush around the house so that there was better air flow. There was moss on the exterior of the house from the damp. The inside of this sun room was dark, and the painted dark blue walls didn’t help… but now things are different. Now this room is light filled and bright.
It took two coats of primer and one coat of paint… and we should probably do a second coat of paint at that, but for now it’s good. We touched up the trim. We changed the electrical sockets and panels. We switched out the original wood stove that was here for an @elmirastoveworks cook stove, which emits more heat and that we can cook on. We are warmer now than we were in October, before we made the switch… and cooking all day on it has been a joy!
Sure, there’s a bit of paint on the wood floor, but we need to sand all the floors at some point anyways. And we need to switch the lights eventually. But this feels like home. ...
