If you were thinking about buying a home this year, but already pressed pause on your plans due to rising home prices and increasing mortgage rates, there's something you should consider. According to the latest report from ATTOM Data, owning a home is more affordable than renting in the majority of the country. The 2022 Rental Affordability Report says: Read more of this post

Steps away from Casselman Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools, the JR Brisson Complexe, and a short drive away from High Falls Conservation Area, Casselman Bowling, the splash pad, or Ahoy Adventures. When you need to head downtown into the office, or for an appointment it's a quick drive to get on Highway 417 and be there in 40 minutes. With no rear neighbours, and a spacious private backyard you're sure to enjoy plenty of weekends relaxing with friends and family in your personal backyard oasis!
Built in the early 1990's, this bright end unit town home features an updated kitchen, with plenty of modern white cabinets, and lots of counter space. Hardwood flooring flows throughout the open concept living space with lots of room for entertaining in both your living and dining rooms.
This home has a lovely curb appeal, with privacy hedges and a rock edged perennial garden alongside the covered front step with room to sit out in a conversation set with a friend after dinner, or in the morning with your coffee and a good book. Once inside the foyer, you will find the traditional kitchen to your left – with its modern white cabinets, and a bright over-sink window. Through the kitchen leads into an airy open concept dining room and living space with a patio door that leads out to an upper level deck overlooking the backyard.
Upstairs, you will find a spacious primary bedroom with 2 picture windows and a wall-to-wall closet, as well as 2 large additional bedrooms, both with picture windows and good sized closets. A fully updated modern main bathroom completes this upper level.
In the fully finished basement there is a large finished rec room with a separate den – perfect for use as your home office, with the ability to close the door when you need to take a call. Patio doors in the rec room lead out to the private hedged backyard.
Grab your groceries at Daniel's No Frills, or Metro, your essentials from Jean Coutu and Canadian Tire, and on take-out nights enjoy a meal from Eric's Pizza, Quesada Burritos and Tacos, or Casselman Restaurant.

Too cold to bother trying to work on the cupboard today. The shop stove does all right, but not when it's this frigid. Time to look at some leftover research on the shop that made the Essex County cupboard I'm reproducing. An earlier post looked at a couple of other cupboard-like things. https://pfollansbee.wordpress.com/2021/09/13/essex-county-cupboards-related-examples/
This time chests. Below is a photos from Skinner's auctions - a chest that I had seen in 1990. It was the first full-on examination I ever did of a joined chest, measurements, photos - all done at an antiques shop in Massachusetts. But I barely knew what I was looking at.
Essex Co chest w drawer
I didn't know it in 1990, but today I can tell you that all that turning on the front of this chest is replaced. None of it is like the originals from the shop. The format, arches, crossed middle panel, applied pairs of turnings - all that is fine. My pictures are gone, I can't tell about the moldings...
My notes from 1990 include a sketch I sent to Jennie Alexander explaining that the inside surface of the back was decorated with moldings and beveled edges to the framing. I thought it was on inside-out! I learned otherwise - eventually.
PF to JA undated, 1990
There's lots of these chests-with-drawer from this shop. Like the cupboards, they exhibit a great variety of decoration, but are clearly recognizable. Here's one from the Museum of Fine Art's (Boston) website. The finish was completely redone before 1932. But the large pilasters on the stiles are typical, the pairs as well. And the drawer front decorated by mitered appliques inset into molded grooves.
MFA #37.91
Some have checkered paint decoration on the panels like this one below. My notes say "Sotheby's 2005" - which to me means I barely noticed this existed. My kids were born that year & I was busier than I have ever been before or since. So I must have copied this off the web, stuck it in a folder and got back to 2 newborns. But some typical bits - especially the deep lower rail with two rows of integral molding on the ends. Those are on many of the cupboards. All (or most) of these chests use wooden pintle hinges for the lids - not iron hinges.
Sotheby's 2005
There's two painted ones in the Hoxie House, a historic house in Sandwich Massachusetts. This one's initialed "MP"
MP chest
And this one dated 1701 and initialed "IP"
IP 1701
There's some I've lost track of - if I ever knew their whereabouts. Today I poked around through some old articles and books. Here's one in a 1938 article in the Magazine Antiques. It had been in one family since the 17th century; this view is its un-restored condition.

In 1960 the same chest again appeared in the Magazine Antiques - the arch is fixed, the applied turnings on the proper right stile (our left) replaced. It's initialed HT and dated 1685.
now restored as of 1960
One just sold this month in New York. Flatsawn panels in front. Weird.
MK 1699
That's very much like one at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, CT. Deep rails, mitered inserts on the drawer front. Wooden hinges. Initialed and dated - AC 1699.
