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 must say, the downstairs bath has been my favorite project thus far... and with better-than-hoped-for results! But the proof is in the pics...
Before... After...

Before... After...



There are, of course, a few oddball things left to do...aren't there always?
1. Make window sill.
2. Install threshold.
3. Hang towel ring, bar, toilet paper holder, robe hook.
4. Finish painting frames and hang pics.
5. Hang shelves.
6. Attach latch assembly to second entry (next to sink).
7. Find small white wicker chair for corner (optional).
