Tour of historic homes preview party.

Had a great time at the Preservation Greensboro's Tour of Historic Homes and Gardens preview party at the home of Edward Lowenstein (now owned by his daughter). 

Also home of the world's largest pair of pearls.

Re-do of the old-do.

Sometimes, you just got to be out with the old in with the new, and sometimes, that means re-doing the old "do". 

This adorable bungalow in Sunset Hills is about to get a new kitchen and a new basement. Stay tuned for design sketches and construction photos as we start removing the "old do".
