My Antique Home
The beams and roof of my Vermont home were made from large trees 106 years ago. If you click on the photos, a new window will open so that you can view them large.
This first photo is shot directly overhead at the highest point in the roof.
This photo shows a large beam with the bark from long ago still on the wood.
Thank you for looking at my attic! See you next week when the theme is Soft!_/\_/\_
wow cool!
ReplyDeleteNever know what you are gonna find up there.
mine is up
Now this was an original idea for the theme! Great photos! My photo is up, please come and visit
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, I'm not sure I'd like to spend anytime in it tho----looks haunted. LOL
My antiques photos have been posted. Happy weekend.
What fabulous old beams you have in your attic. Do you have ghosts?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and what a lovely house - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love old buildings and architecture. You might have seen some of my post about it from Norway and with houses hundred of years old.
Wishing you a wonderful end to your week:-)
Hi. Was your house that old, or was it built with antique wood? thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei'd say that roof's held up nicely!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey don't build houses like that anymore. What a great photo. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is fabulous. We have a lot of this antique houses in the provinces and any of them are also still livable just like yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
What beautiful beams! I love the look of old homes...so majestic.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Mine is up.
Cheers!
Oohh i also fancy attics actually. There is something mystical about it. The pictures look nice. So derelict and fab!
ReplyDeletenice to meet your attic honey!
ReplyDeletesmiles, bee
ps: i peeked at the house too and it is lovely!!!
From what I can see you attic isn't full of junk like so many are! Is there a reason we only saw the ceiling?? I think it's amazing that those trees were 106 years old. It looks like a very sturdy place, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier. Looking forward to next week's soft side!
Wow! That's awesome to have a house over a hundred years old. All natural wood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
lovely old wooden houses are beautiful, and very much antiques :)
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool!
ReplyDeleteI love old houses!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! It must get pretty cold up there in the winter, though ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing when you consider that most of the power tools we have today were not available then. Yet most of the older homes are in so much better shape than the newer ones. Fantastic photos and use of the theme, thanks for stopping by and visiting me too.
ReplyDelete:-)
A unique house, is it insulated? Vermony is cold.
ReplyDeleteOH those are lovely shots!!! I just love the colorings. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a link to yours. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow - 106 year old beams - that is awesome. I check out your entire house - beautiful, especially when the picture was taken. I love the composition of it with the land and they sky. Was it taken during sunset or sunrise?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday...
It looks so romantic ! I just wished to sleep under them !
ReplyDeleteNot only is it amazing that the timber used to build that roof is 106 years old, but also that back in those days they were able to build the roof with such a high pitch! Amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home you have, and I *love the wood!
ReplyDeleteGreat "antique" photos! There's nothing like an old house. My farm house will be 100 years old next year. There's something very romantic and charming about a house that has stood for so many years.
ReplyDeleteI love the old wood. My house is nearly 120 years old but the attic is finished.
ReplyDeleteYour home is beautiful, and what a neat thing... wood that old!
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting. :)
Beautiful old wood - amazing! What a good twist on the theme this week! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Wow, that's amazing that they've lasted for over a century! Great choice for antique :) Happy Hunting!
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought of this. Yours is certainly original. Pictures are pretty original too.

ReplyDeleteVery cool! :) Those are great photos. What a wonderful old home you have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and have a good day. :)
Great choices for the theme this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
This is the kind of home I dream of, just beautiful and full of history!
ReplyDeletehave a grand weekend!
That looks wonderful. I contrary to what some others said, I think it looks like a warm place, not haunted at all. But maybe I'm wrong... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
your attic is a treasure -- thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Look at how they just hammered away. Better keep your head cold in this attic.:))
ReplyDeleteExcellent entry
Hello...thanks for stopping by. boy you live in Vermont!! I have always wanted to go there. I love your pictures!! Your house was built with wood that was 106 years old!! That is incredible!! Thanks for the pictures. I am really impressed!! Great post!! Again, thanks for stoppiing by...Sandy
ReplyDeleteOooooooooh how lucky are you - doesn't it just thrill you to live there?
ReplyDeleteA bit of history...
I'm impressed.. but are they strong enough?? Scares me.
ReplyDeleteThat truly is wonderful that the beams and planks have lasted this long already! So many people are now taking planks from old barns to redo their homes. Love it! Thanks so much for visiting me:-)
ReplyDeleteI always marvel at such antique dwellings. Such history they carry in their walls.
ReplyDeleteawesome, beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteWow, indeed! They don't build them this sturdy any more. Does it creak when the heat comes on? We had a church in PA that had heavy wooden beams across the top and it would creak and crack when the temperature changed... very spooky at night in the dark.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm originally from New England, I can really relate to these lovely old beams. Your home is just beautiful and so typical of Vermont and New England. Really enjoyed your photos and thanks for visiting my place.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beams, although it seems a shame that they were wasted on the attic. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteI have lived in a house from 1839. So I really enjoy these beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteGreetz from Holland!
I bet you just love laying on your back in the attick and staring at the beams... *grin*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit :)
That's a very cool shot and a great take on the theme.
ReplyDeletePlus, that Coke sign above could have worked too!
Neat, I love the stories with this week's photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my pic - I posted early because we were out of town until now!!
Thanks for sharing the story with us.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
I will Exercise for Comments!
