These shots of The Matriarchs Coupe were taken to send to the man who we hope will plaster our dry wall. This is a very specialised job, not for the faint of heart. I thought you may be interested in the rough shots as well. They are boney and raw. And I hope you can ignore the bad mannered advertising on the builders paper.
You are entering from the corridor. Lets walk down there. Look past the window. Around to your right is the door that leads into the cloakroom of the main house. So walk to the end of this corridor and turn completely around, putting your back to that wall.
Now look back towards the goldilocks windows facing the sunrise.
On your right will be a door to the South Patio. And on your left is the bathroom. Keep walking. Your eye is better than my camera at wide angle but once you get to the middle of the room look straight up to the beautiful ceiling.
If you run your eye down the right of the tallest of the goldilocks windows to the floor – that is where the first tall barn beam pole will be. (I know this is hard to visualise).
Eyes up still and look across to the South and see those windows right across the top, they will catch all of the winter sun and only a whisper of the high summer heat. They will open in the summer to let heat out of the building.
Now keep looking up and turn to your right 190 degrees and lets see the mezzanine.
That open area on the right is waiting for coloured glass. It will be back lit by windows (see above far right) to the South leading in much needed winter colour and the bathroom lights.
Even though this house is a tiny house I do not think Tiny!
Now look down and back to the south, see that join in the green timber along the mezzanine, that is where the second of the barn beams will go, it will reach straight to the ceiling. And running south of this barn pole will be the free standing double sided shelves with more coloured glass. See that window to your right, it faces the sunset, and the light will come through there then through the interior stained glass window and straight across the foot of the bed which will be situated to the left of that ladder.
Behind you are the open french doors to the North verandah, but we will look out that way another day. Yesterday was gray and cold, snowy and rainy and windy. A breathtakingly dreadful day.
Good morning. The windows and doors come at the end of this month, yes they open outwards and yes the doors are baked-on RED (of course).
So, soon the changes will be fast and brilliant.
You all have a lovely day, we have another windy and cold one. (sigh)

Looking good – cannot wait to see the end result – thanks for sharing! Have a Great Day on the Farmy:)
A thrilling tour of a well thought out living space. It will be an extraordinary living space. So much thought and love have gone into this coupe. How absolutely lovely. V.
So if I’m not mistaken, one can travel between houses through the cloakroom? Like Narnia?! *L* Or is a cloakroom like a mudroom?
the cloakroom is a small bedroom that I have always called the cloakroom as this is where we sling our coats, in fact it has Cloaks stencilled in gold on the door! It will be kitted out as a wardrobe for all, so Yes! I guess we are going to enter our other world through the wardrobe.. How clever! I love it! c
Wow that Wendy house is coming along beautifully. I love light and the ceiling. and well everything.
Love the tour. It’s so exciting to see it coming together and I look forward to the next installment. Stay warm!
Thank you for the tour C, it is indeed going to be a lovely little house. Will there be a small kitchen? My husband convinced me to get a red front door, and now I love it.
There will be a little bench with a window and a sink with plugs for the toaster and coffee machine and a fridge underneath.. it is on the west side of the free standing shelves.. using that side of the shelves to store white cups and bowls etc.. c
Wonderful! It’s going to be fantastic! Love those south windows.
Enjoyed the grand tour of the charming doll house. Well designed and thought out – no doubt will be a joy to inhabit. It’s so much fun to watch the progress!
Can’t wait to see how it turns out! And, I did notice my friend TonTon in yesterday’s post!
It’s beautiful, C! Can’t wait to see more photos of the progress and as you breathe life into it! 🙂
