Mary Margo's Room




You can't really tell the ugliness of the wallpaper until you look close.  Sad to say, this is not the worst wallpaper in the house.


We had this great idea to scrap the ceiling.  Little did we know, that this job would take more than a week to complete.  But it was well worth it!!  


We have dicovered the hard wood floors in the house.  They are everywhere.  We are so excited.


And here is the finished product!

A bump in the Night



At 4am Thursday Morning, less that two weeks after moving into our fix'r up'r, we were jolted out of bed by a very loud crash on our roof.  This is what it looked like at 6am when our friendly new neighbor rang our doorbell to check on us.  We knew it was a branch from this oak tree.  We had no idea it was the size of a small tree.

We look at this as a minor set back to ALL the work that has to be done.
