just in need of a little, or a lot rather, of tlc… I’m thrilled to share the story (and the glory) of this magnificently remastered gem with you. I first saw this house on a home tour a couple of years ago but then Leslie Pritchard of Again and Again reintroduced it to me recently. Leslie worked with the homeowner, Jackie Alberga to take the historic home from a near condemned tear down to a gorgeous, beautifully restored home. I’ve included the before images as well!
don’t we all wish it was this easy to look young again… It’s been a while since I’ve shared before and afters, these are all from the home of Sarah Steele with the help and vision of design diva Tracy Martin Taylor (see her home here).

If the bones are there it’s a perfect chance to make something beautiful. before and AFTERS are going to be a huge part of the blog and I’ll share them with you as often as I can get my hands on them.

so much fun stuff to share. With that, I thought the best place to start might be HERE, my home. It’s a small place with big character and it says a lot about the way I think. I’m planning to keep all my copy short so I won’t drone on about where I got this and that, but I’ll pull out a few of the highlights as a taster of what’s to come! I thought it would be cool to show you before and AFTERs. I moved in about a year and a half ago…still work to do (ALWAYS!) but here’s the latest:
