Let’s take a look at some of the stone we have exposed in our house and why we think it’s worth it at The Forge Cottage. One of the things we love most about our house is how much exposed stone we have. It adds depth, texture, and a sense of grounded history that you just can’t replicate with modern materials. But here’s the truth: while it looks beautiful now, these walls took a LOT of work. When you peel back the old lath and plaster, you’re often left with dry-stacked stone sometimes with just a whisper of mortar holding it all together. (Scroll to the end to see a uncovered stone with no mortar) To make these walls stable and showcase their beauty, they had to be repointed, which means adding fresh mortar between every single stone by hand. It’s a labor of love, and it’s slow but so worth it. From there, the mortar is shaped using a trowel either smoothed or recessed, depending on the design style you want. Personally, I love the slightly rustic, imperfect finish that lets the stones really shine. Stone walls don’t just bring character they’re functional too. They hold onto heat in the winter, stay cool in the summer, and quietly remind you that you’re standing inside something that was built to last. It’s humbling to live within these 200-year-old walls crafted with real materials, real tools, and a lot of sweat (and probably a few tears). The charm doesn’t come easy, but it’s always worth it. 🖤

If you want to do what we do, you have to be addicted to a good before and after. has the ability to walk in a house and see it as it should be. I on the other hand have never met an old house I couldn’t find current beauty in. You have to trust the process and trust the vision of those that have it. When you do spectacular things are possible.
