I have typed, deleted, thought and retyped this opening sentence no more than 10 times! I have a million thoughts running through my head and have no idea where to start. I have never considered myself a "blogger" but to save my family and friends from having to hear me constantly talk (complain), here I am "blogging"......
So what do I have to say? A lot actually but the event that started this blog was a dream aka huge risk come true. I celebrated my 46th birthday on June 8th and as gift to myself, I signed a contract on a 200 year old historic home "as is" (insert a drink of wine).
Here she is....My beautiful forever home with breathtaking views of the Ohio River. The Payne House was built in 1822 by John Payne whose grandfather was the founding father of Fredericksburg which is now known as our little town of Warsaw.
So what is the purpose of this blog? My scary but exciting adventure on the rehab of this historic beauty plus life as a mom, career, friends, faith, recipes or whatever comes to my mind.
If are interested in any of things mentioned above plus remodels, period construction techniques (there are actually huge bolts from one side of this house to another holding is all together) rehab successes and fails, DIY, design and even ghost stories, then join my journey. I would love to hear about your experiences and advice too!
I have only been on this journey for one week and I have already sat on the porch praying... "God please see me through this" But look at this view......
My 14 year old says that Instagram is the way to go and no one reads blogs. She may be right but I need to write it while she needs to Instagram it. We are compromising.... Follow us on Instagram at
