My home was built in the mid 80s and was a rental house for a little time but I would love to know about some of the folks that lived here before me. Actually more about the land. I live right over from the home of President Andrew Jackson and before property was sold off years ago this was part of his land. I live on a small creek which makes me wonder if there was ever any homesteading done here. I love your little place, and you have done an amazing job decorating it.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-57663444682201815212016-01-27T11:14:20.046-07:002016-01-27T11:14:20.046-07:00I love this story - and this house was clearly mea...I love this story - and this house was clearly meant for you to love it!!

The fact that you actually found a picture of the original owner, that she was an attorney back when few women were, that you saw the house on Pinterest. Well, I could go on and on, but what is most fascinating to me is the ear pulling! We were in Savannah last month and did a 'ghost tour'. Now, I have to say I neither believed nor disbelieved in ghosts. But all that has changed. As I was about to take a picture, I saw the orb of light fly past my camera. Apparently they aren't seen by the naked eye, just the camera picks them up. So yes, I can easily believe she is watching over you Rue. :)Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-29299384596683228582015-02-05T13:47:47.168-07:002015-02-05T13:47:47.168-07:00A lot of my plans were put on hold here too.

In fact, it took me 3 years to finally paint my bedroom lol Look for that post soon :)<br /><br />Like your house, everything was painted beige/brown, outside and inside. And they wondered why it took 5 years to sell it lol<br />Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-74108637523642740872015-02-05T09:46:30.368-07:002015-02-05T09:46:30.368-07:00So cool that you have so much info on your house! ...So cool that you have so much info on your house! Our last house was a mystery house. Part of it had been built there as an office, then not long before we moved we found out that part of it had been moved in and added to. Remodeling it you never knew what you were going to find - we were going to move a wall once and found water pipes in it. Have no idea what they went to! Our house now is only 9 years old and I miss the squeaks in the hard wood floors from the old house. I've tried to make it seem somewhat more like me. The previous owner had not changed one thing from the builder grade. It was a beige box. Walls, ceiling and floors all beige. Not a curtain to be found and very few nail holes so I assume she never put much on the walls either. I don't know how many gallons of paint we have gone through but it was worth it. Still have lots of plans but some of them have to stay on hold a bit.TinaTxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373224016715969220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-140631889903815822015-02-03T14:59:48.781-07:002015-02-03T14:59:48.781-07:00How very cool to have all that information and his...How very cool to have all that information and history about the house.

We know a lot about the owners, from neighbors and since we are only the third owners, there was a lot of documentation in the house, but I think your story is cool!!
