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.


Ow.
I'm not sure what it is about ladder work, but I'm a bit stiff today. Perhaps it's the tensing-up, not the actual physical climbing, that my muscles are complaining about. Either way, I'm not looking forward to yet another day of it, but the cold, hard, inexplicable fact remains...I gotta get it done! I'm on a roll and I'm not giving up now!
Ya know, it's not just about the facade. It's the fact that I can't work on the landscaping until the soap and the paint stop dripping. The change will be drastic, I know, and I've waited a long time for this project. Ain't no stoppin' me now....
Before and after pictures are going to be sweet!
