Brightening this little corner of my world started with a thank you card from my mother.

Main level bathroom  of the Wilson Farmstead in Colorado that was a kitchen pantry in the 1919 era and on the plans for the house in 1914. Started by putting up a thank you card from my mother, Janet Polley that said,  "You brighten the corner where you are". It had a sunflower on it. My sister gave me a nice gold frame mirror (not pictured) and I got carried away adding golden things to the bathroom. There is a hidden pocket door on the right side top. It used to be the entrance to the pantry. May you start with a little something and brighten the corner where you are today. #Encouragement #Beforeandafter #oldhouse

Animation of changes at the 1914 Homestead Cottage

Just thought I would try to share an animation of how the 1914 Homestead Cottage rescue is coming along. Most of the photos are of the South wall. I did just notice that the one with Rocky in it is of the north wall and maybe a few others of that wall are accidently included. Just experimenting to see if this is a good way to show the before after and during. A collage just did not allow for enough of the changes to be seen. A master carpenter named Joseph L. has been helping us and just donated his first 12 hours of wok on top of what he is getting paid to do.

Enjoying the Memories of Janet Polley, my mother.

Just thought I could share the memories of my dear mother here. Please see the link below. The first page of her memoirs is below with a photo of her Simpich (Layton) family. She also has the whole Dangremond side of her family. Some are pictured on the link. Encouraged to see that as of June 2018 over 800 views have seen this.  Maybe I will share more about her story and mine.
