Finally!

On Tuesday, we will be closing on this old Victorian. Most of the outside Victorian details have been "simplified" over the years but quite a few still exist inside. We are very excited to get to living in and working on this old house. In it's current configuration it has six bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen, living room, dining room, breakfast room, partial utility basement, sun room, "extra" room (don't know exactly what it was meant to be), and a full attic. We can't wait until Tuesday at 10:30!

Getting started

This is my first attempt at a blog. I have really enjoyed the houseblogs that many owners of old houses are posting so I would like to try to document our house adventures as well. We haven't actually closed on our old house yet. It is a 1905 Victorian that needs extensive restoration. As soon as we actually close on it, I will start documenting progress. This was only a test.
