We fell in love with Charlotte’s Old Woodwork, but Wow. What a headache.
This is the story of how we became the owners of a dirty old frat house.
![We spent most of Mother's Day cleaning and setting up furniture at Charlotte House, and Jim surprised Jack with this Renovation-style "arrangement," complete with a paint bucket "vase" he found in the utility room 😂
We've been building a foundation for our family for quite some time now. Between buying and renovating this crazy house, experiencing the birth - and loss - of children, and figuring out how to maintain our careers, mortgages, and a mild level of sanity, we've certainly had our share of ups and downs over the last few years.
Later today we'll be taking some family pictures and decided there's no better place to document what life currently looks like for us than right here at Charlotte House. This space reflects years of patience, frustration, and laughter for us, and as we get ready to officially move in over the next few weeks, every piece of furniture, rug, and light fixture that goes in makes it feel more like "us."
We know Ms. Charlotte has played an important part in the lives of a LOT of people, and it's been such a fun experience to hear from all those folks who appreciate her. We're happy to share how she's doing with all of you and hope you'll keep following along with us on our journey.
Most importantly, we are so grateful to have climbed this mountain together and created a space for our family to grow and thrive. It's almost time to settle in, enjoy our efforts, and finally call this place Home 🤗
