Serendipity ~ a natural gift for making useful discoveries by accident
aka... "This Lady's Home Journal" 
When we purchased our 105 year-old house we thought a thorough cosmetic overhaul was all it needed. We have since learned that houses built in 1900 need a little more TLC than that.
It has been our experience that most of our projects are delightful accidents, thus the arrival at naming this site. We're not restoring, but face-lifting. With a poorly-executed country theme prevalent throughout, we've begun with the largest project, the kitchen. Striving for an Olde World style, we're making progress... albeit a snails pace. It is our hope that you enjoy watching our progress as it unfolds.

I've found an amazing free download!! Check it out! You're gonna LOVE this!!
I was able to use my own picture, play around with colors, and it's totally free! The great thing about the program is that it doesn't cover up the part of the image you're trying to change. For instance, the shutters are still shutters, not just a block of color. And the door still has its detail, but I've changed it from white to blue. There are 90,000 colors you can download from various manufacturers, a tutorial my eleven-year-old could understand, and has many other features I haven't used yet. Simply scan in your own picture...of anything...and go to work! While it's meant for painting, I supposed I could check out a new haircolor!!
Enjoy!!!
