I've been pretty quiet lately. There's a reason I've been so
busy..... :-)

About a month ago I was bored so was cruising about online and decided
to check out the real estate listings. I found the most *adorable*
1928 Victorian cottage. It was a foreclosure and selling for a
ridiculously low price. I made an offer, it was accepted and today I
became the proud owner! It's a one bedroom, one bath with a finished
attic- which will become a second bedroom and a quilt studio. I'm
doing nearly all the work myself. I started working on it this
afternoon as soon as I signed the last piece of paper. I've always
wanted to restore a Victorian and this little diamond-in-the-rough is
just perfect!

Howdy!
Will you live there some of the time? Escape? Stay-cation?
Get away but not far-away?
For small retreats? A little bit of B&B? Love Shack for newlyweds?
Storage? Quilt shop? Training center?
H.B. over-flow? ;-

Congrats! Love what a little "cruising about" can do for you.

R/Sandy - p.s. how 'bout those historic floor coverings? g

Right now I'm thinking a vignette (sp???) in the bay window with my
treadle sewing machine and my 'kinda black-wrought-iron-looking'
decorative dress form and my black metal ice cream parlor chair- and a
tall plant... or two. But that's subject to change. VBG I am
doing a lot of dreaming (and planning) at this point.

Here they are in my current house in the landing area-

Tomorrow I start sanding the original hardwood floors to refinish
them.....

Happy Day, happy dancing for you. I love it. What are you plans for the
bay window? It's too beautiful to 'hide' but is really calling for
something marvelous. Polly

That makes TWO of us with new homes. It is a cutie and I am so happy
for you.

It's soooo cute! I'm very happy for you, these projects are so fun! I
remember redoing my last house. I had a blast!! Of course, the paint
department at Home Depot now knows me by name! LOL
Good luck with it!!
