our friend nancy has quite an eye for antiques and really has a knack for putting it all together.  for years, she lived in a ‘big ol’ house’ chock full of visual treats.  now she’s moved in to a smaller house that she created from a shotgun house she moved to her property and added onto, with the help of her talented carpenter friend, james.  lots of wonderful additions were made, and now it is just perfect, with a treehouse like porch on the back overlooking the woods. here are some pics of the pleasing interior.
