I know I do! So, let's get right to it.

| July 2007 - just a mere five months after moving in... |
and another...
 |
humble beginnings; salvaged chairs given a seat and paint job....

 |
| So much history in and behind this door... |
 |
| On the outside looking in... |
So many people who buy old houses start the process by replacing the leaky old windows. We knew that a lot of the value in an old house IS those leaky old lead-filled glass panes and their wood sills. We chose to keep them. Sometimes, in January and February I cuss at them. But most of the time I like the way they look.

Well, Welcome Home! Let the fun begin!

And so it began...
Next time on farmhousewife TV we'll tell the story of "How We Chose Our House Paint Colors!" |
 |
Coming along...

And, she is finished. My husband, Captain Strong-Arms scraped, primed, and put two coats on this old girl all by himself. He's my hero.
