The Homestead - a look forward
Our cozy 3 bedroom cottage is nestled beside the Similkameen River just outside of Princeton, BC.
Spring through fall are the best months to enjoy some time on the 40 ft. wide deck right outside the door!
We love to enjoy some time around the fire pit with friends & family
We added an outdoor chess and checker set for some game time on a nice summer day.
The renovated kitchen is rebuilt in the same layout and foot print as it was. We splurged on this beautiful hammered copper sink to patina and age.
The one change we did make was to open up one wall. The half wall leaves a nice open concept feel from kitchen to dining room. We used a old reclaimed piece of wood from the wash stand outside to top the wall.

About Us
Jamie & Nordina
We are the Newtons, Jamie and Nordina. We fell in love with Princeton BC and decided to buy our "forever" home here. The Homestead is a 1930's cottage that we renovated from the ground up. This is where we will retire, in the meantime we enjoy sharing all it has to offer!
