Murphy Residence - Small House Design















We appreciate friends KC and Ralph Murphy continuing to keep us abreast of the exciting renovations and rebuild of their lakefront cottage in Burlington, Vermont!

We last posted photos on November 21, 2011 and are glad to see the steady and great looking progress.

Moving into the interior, we see large windows and wall insulation made of fiberglass batts.

Not intended or designed for year round use, the home is the perfect destination for vacations from early springtime through late autumn.
