    I cannot get enough of the Dutch door. What an enchanting decision that complements the Alice In Wonderland vibes of the place. It truly is like a Wonderland with Mid Century accents, like Walt Disney paid a visit and was inspired to produce a Disney version of the famous Lewis Carroll classic. What a feat. My restoration and other life goals are possible. That’s what these wildly near-impossible restoration journeys show me.

When we first moved into the house and hung the chandelier a visiting friend came in to "love on" our new home and she said, "Oh, this fixture is the first thing I'd change!" We about died laughing. I only paid $2 for it at a garage sale - no kidding. Don't we all just love finding treasures!
