Oh hello there, beautiful heritage home.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of touring this gorgeous heritage beauty. It is located in Port Hammond, British Columbia, which is the town where I spent most of my childhood years growing up so I was immediately drawn to checking it out. I always love a little summer nostalgia 😉

The story caught my eye when I saw the ad in the local newspaper.  The owners were doing a public tour to showcase the history of the home, as well as talk about how they were going to “renovate and retrofit this 1923 Craftsman-style cottage into Hammond Forever House – a house that heats and cools itself, conserves both energy and water, and keeps their family healthy and happy – on a budget.”

I was inspired to share their story and blog with you, because it is amazing to see people pour this much love into their home, as well as care for the environment and the future of their family. It’s not everyday you come across people with a progressive view of both caring about the history of a building, and wanting to think about its impact in the future.

If you have some time, please check out their story, and the progress of turning their dreams into reality. We can learn a lot from James and Leanne!
