What do you think of this house?

Always remember, you can prune and bonsai anything(says my wife).
Just visited friends who'd removed their front garden hedge. Turns out it consisted mostly of a bay tree that had been espalier'd 5 feet left and right, rather than growing undisturbed 30feet up!
Who knew I'd be leaving with a trunk of wood for carving

House update.
I’ve replaced all of the receptacles and switches. Happy to find that whoever wired this house did a decent job.
Installed board/batten wainscot in the living/ dining room. It will be painted kind of a dark sage green. Nice to use my tools again!

Board and batten detail in Jack’s room. Not sure what color it’s going to be. It’s a “Minecraft” room - not sure what that means. You can see some samples on n the wall.

Kim painted her office walls herself. I call it the Pumpkin Room. The rest of the house will be painted by pros in about a week.
Carpet going in!

@Steve-Miller Oooh I love the wainscoting. Very nice! I also love the pumpkin color paint. Looking good!

Ordered a dark stained butcher block top for the rolling island.
Lighting makes the island look a different color but it’s the same color as the cabinets. New sink is a black composite model

The previous owner built it from four wall cabinets and did a really nice job.

Grandson Jack’s room. Minecraft theme. Sharon made the Minecraft drapes.

Laundry equipment came with the house. Kenmore direct drive units some 30 years old and they still work!
