In September of 2010 the economy forced us to sell our beautiful modern mansion for something more affordable. I just knew that I wanted an older home. You know the kind, something with a little history. Something with charm and character galore. Well, we found exactly what we were looking for and it was in our price range. Built in 1939 and left empty for several years, there are many, many needed updates and repairs, but she is a solid house with lots of charm and character. I must admit I have never lived in or decorated anything quite like her so this blog is simply a journal of my endeavors to fix up and decorate my beautiful 1939 charmer of a home. I invite you into my journey to fix her up and dress her in timeless fashion.
I hope to let you in on all the follies and successes of this adventure, and I hope to inspire and encourage all those other ladies like myself who find themselves forever working to make their house a beautiful home.
I will share with you every little juicy tidbit of information I can that might help you in your domestic pursuits...
