Angie, thank you! That’s an interesting idea, to rename the blog. I’m certainly feeling far less scrambled :-).

I do believe you look positively lovely. Perhaps the time has come to give your blog a much more glamorous name, befitting your beautiful self and pretty house.

Thank you Mardel, I meant to reply earlier but the bluehost server was down!

I had no idea how much the thinning, lightening of my eyebrows was affecting the appearance of my face until I added the color. Voila!

The bathroom is fabulous! I love how you have kept its spirit but brought it from fusty to bright and lively.

And I adore my eyebrow powder and brush. Even when I am home and not wearing any makeup I still put on eyebrows. I too didn’t realize how much I had missed them until I learned how to put them back.

Hi Jennifer, thank you!

What is it about older houses? There’s some kind of wonderful peacefulness that’s hard to describe but I think comes down to the love of crafts persons for their work. Mostly carpentry. We call it the spirit of the house and are so glad we didn’t change the house very much. Also that we were fortunate to inherit it from the previous owners with minimal changes.

The neighborhood is historic — there are many homes in it that were designed by famous architects (not our home). The overall neighborhood bears the unmistakable mark of San Francisco Golden Gate Park designer John McClaren.

Ours is actually the smallest house in this neighborhood! In fact, due to a change in by-laws, no one can ever build on such a small lot ever again.

We like living in the teeniest house amid much preciousness.

Hi Paula, I’ve been tracking your colorful Florida outfits, just not commenting — BUSY. You always look great.

You ought to do a post on the 1970s use of color. You know? It might be fun to consider what worked and didn’t, and why.
