I'll Meet You At The Door
Therese's paintings of Kalypso and Gilgamesh, and our fleur du lis doorbell with Mardi Gras decorations, appeared on page 10 of the Inside Out (Home/Garden) section of the Times-Picayune this morning.
when we were renters in the upstairs apt. over there we allways dug the way yalls home used to be a single family unit back in the day.
we could imagine what it would take to bring it back to that state.
we couldnt afford that house so we wound up buying a 1100 sq. ft. 1934 cottage in gentilly and lovingly restoring it.
thank you for letting me and trish watch it thru your blog.
please at some point post a history of your home as to when it was built and how it evolved up to this point. i am a geek for that part of new orleans history.
