The Historic District

Hi all....from the OWH and WG boards. I'm the one who lives vicariously though all of you. I have a 1972 (yeah, I know, not old) split level, which we are slowly making into a "old" house - sorta. Very much in love the colonial era/look so trying to get my "girl" into mode. My hu...
