Some of our treasures


We showed you how we made the niche, but never showed you what it looked like in the end. This is it. The sill still needs to be stained, but that's a future project. If anyone has a used "icon" they would like to donate to the cause...

Most bale homes have what it called a "truth" window. Usually a frame of some sort that is plastered into the wall that shows the straw behind it. We didn't want to commit to a frame "style" and couldn't come up with an appropriate location for one that wasn't in-your-face obvious. So we used an old heat register instead, and set it low to the floor. This is it.
