In early November 2007, my husband and I bought our first home, a 1900 Victorian, in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania. I chose this home because it has room for my studio/gallery space, and it is zoned GB (General Business). It was also inexpensive, but needs a bunch of work. As you will see from the pictures to follow, we have a lot to do, and not much time for it with hubby working full time and over time to help pay for repairs. I have been doing my part, and once the things I can not do on my own are finished ( electrical work, dry wall, etc.), I can get my studio together so I can get cracking on making new work and keeping up with this site.

Until then I will post new pictures of our progress on the house with some before and after pictures. Seeing them helps me feel like we are getting somewhere though at times it doesn't feel that way.
