Light and Airy

The name of this fiddle tune from the Fiddle Tunes of PEI seems an appropriate title for this post. The Wayne house on Pine Needle Alley indeed is light, and airy. Contemporary is the descriptive word of the day... lots of windows, southern orientation, a lot of wood and personal attention to detail.
This photo looks from the kitchen through the dining area, to the greenhouse beyond. The greenhouse breaks the direct sunlight from coming into the house itself, and collects warmth from the sun.



The main living area extends vertically to the second floor, and has a balcony & railing on the second floor which looks down into that main living area. A fan would be a nice addition here, to circulate warm air down in the winter, and to bring the hot air up in the summer to vent out the upper windows. The space is really nice though, it brings in a lot of light to the center of the house, and unifies all the spaces.


There are so many more photos! These will give you some idea of what the interior of the house is like. There are a lot of built-in shelves which add to the storage capacity of the home.


The kitchen, though not centrally located, functions as a center of activities. The main living area, the dining area, the back porch, the hot tub room, utility room... all these areas open off the kitchen. And from the kitchen you can see through to the music area off the living room, to the front entrance, into the greenhouse, and even up to the balcony a bit. The cabinets and counterspace are a little irregular, but there is a lot of storage space and some really nice touches that make it seem inviting to the cook and to the helpers! Butcher block low level counter seems conducive to chopping things while engaging in conversation.

We'll know more in the next few days if we're in a postition to purchase this house. Stay tuned for updates!
