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'm not entirely sure how flattering it is, but Serendipity House got it's first mention (that I'm aware of) in a newspaper article. Thanks, Aaron, for pointing it out!
Now, if I could just get the town board to appreciate our efforts. They're entertaiing a zone change down the street to allow a new housing development to go in, in a neighborhood of of 100+/- year-old homes. You would think this is a no-brainer, but there's already been two public hearings on the issue.
Any suggestions?
