Lovely looking home Lisa. I must have missed something while reading this post. I can't figure out why you let that house go. Hoping you'll be as happy without it as your were with it.

Thank you so much, Nancy! I appreciate your compliments very much––on both my words and makeover efforts. It's also just great to hear from an old friend. You put to mind my reason for the move, which is to return to small-town life. ;) I hope you're doing well!

Hugging the newel post: I can relate! Old houses love a bit of love.

My last house (1955 and looking better than ever when I sold her) got lots of surreptitious hugs on the day I walked out the door the last time. My realtor caught me in one, laughed and handed me a tissue!

Can't wait to hear what you do next, Lisa.

Karen, I love those mid-century moderns! I restored a ‘57 rambler back in the early 2000s. Thanks for your note.
