Richmond: Welcome Home

I think I would have an overwhelming sense of community, of belonging, if I walked out of my house every morning and could see this endless view of historic porches.  And the crisp American flag down the way clinches it.  This is a street that is proud to welcome you.

My dear friends have bought themselves a historic house in Richmond, Virginia and they are in love.  With each other, of course, but also with this little piece of Americana.

 

I was thrilled to "get a tour" of the house and admire the fresh paint, original fireplaces and all the touches they have done to make a house a home.  This little beauty will be 100 years old next year and she is darn lucky to have such devoted owners.  After a century of families, friends and folks living here, I can only imagine what she would say "if walls could talk" but I'm pretty sure it would be...Welcome Home.
