The music is actually perfect for looking at these pictures. One of them just yelled, "I think I see a ghost". I typically think about ghost stories when I see a home like this.

I love going through old houses, and I really enjoyed seeing this one. Thanks for the tour, and I hope you'll post pictures after you've restored it. I bet you and I are best friends!

Made me think of a large, neglected home where I once searched for estate sale treasures. I couldn't help feeling sad that all its contents were now lined up for strangers to scurry through. But in an upstairs bedroom, I noticed decades-old lines and dates written on the sides of the closet door frames to serve as growth charts. It was such a vivid reminder that vibrancy and growth and life were once a part of that home – and could be again.

I went on a journey through the photos aware of every detail. Beautiful. A home is one of the visual representaions of our life. I love it. Since I have saved two houses in my day, this one needs to be brought back to life and lived in well! Can't wait till the next post. Have a great Sat.! Best post by far.
