Our House in Riga
 
 
We bought the upper half of a Tsar Russian house and restored it—Yes! That's right; just like in the book —Holly, Egils, Jess and Erin
 
   


The old kitchen was rather nasty before renovation
Kitchen after renovation
The antique gas heater in kitchen was lovely
But we voted for a new one and then built a cabinet around it
Riga kitchen—completely done and bright
This bathroom was ... quaint; especially when the pull chain worked
But we prefer the new one
Jess strips white wash off of bedroom ceiling
Bedroom almost done
Bed room done
stairs to loft
The loft where Emily was born
Looking downstairs from our loft
icy view from loft skylight
icy tree outside of skylight one morning
