SEEING The Light At The End Of The Tunnel!

It is dim, but yes I can see it....it's the light at the end of the tunnel. What tunnel you ask?

Well for over two very long years we have been in the process of renovating our 1872 Italianate Victorian Home. Of course we are the providers of the home and we pay the bills but we have a wonderful contractor who may seem slow but he is very involved in making this renovation as close to original as possible. I have put two pictures on this blog of the house and it's beautiful outside.

Now comes the detail interior work. The woodwork is all stripped, the floors are sanded and the drywall is being primed. Colors for each of the rooms have been selected, stain is established for the now beautiful walnut woodwork upstairs and the tile for the bathrooms is on the agenda. We are lucky that the woodwork downstairs is in great condition. After being talked into a complete kitchen renovation and having the cabinets ordered and at the lumber yard in storage I am ready to "git er dun". However furniture has to be acquired, window treatments selected and light fixtures ordered. And then all the linens, towels and dishes have to be purchased.

Did I say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel? Yes, but it is dim. Our Victorian Guest House will be everything I have ever dreamed of and I can not wait to share it with our town.

Perhaps a step back in time is what we all will need to get through the unforeseeable future. I can not wait to step back in time, how about you?

We will introduce The McClure Guesthouse to our community with a VICTORIAN TEA in the springtime. Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
