If the eyes are windows to the soul.....

..... does that mean that windows are the eyes of the soul?  I wonder whether houses could be said to have a 'soul'?  I know they certainly have personalities.  When we first walked into our RL house, it embraced us with loving arms and said "You're home".  The Fairfield definitely has a personality of its own too.  As I've been constructing it, this personality has revealed itself to me bit by bit.   I have fallen in love more and more with this house despite the challenges it's thrown up at me and despite the changes in plans I've made which have made things somewhat difficult at times.

Now I have installed the windows on all rooms except the tower room, and I'll do that tomorrow hopefully. They still need to have the top 'eyebrow' added to most of them. But as soon as I put those windows in the house seemed to come to life.  How about coming across to the Fairfield blog and follow progress as I finish this delightful cottage and 'plant' the garden as well as doing the rest of the landscaping, furnishing and adding accessories?

    1. Audra, the tiles are the closest I could find to those on the porch of the Federation house (built 1913) that I grew up in. It was our family home, built by my grandmother and I love it dearly. So I love to put the same type of tiles on any Victorian house I do. They are common in Australian homes of the period, and are lovely.
