A Step Back in Time....

We made our trip to Schellsburg, PA this past week and let me just tell you, the joy of living in a house completely different than yours is unbelievable! Anyone who has been to our house knows that we are as contemporary as it gets; slanted roofs, broken dish fireplaces, sculptures, etc...What a smile I had on my face after stepping back in time at our vacation home for 3 days.

Built in 1890, Maxines (named for the original owner) was due to be torn down. My goodness...could you blame them?!!

In came Frank, a lover of all things country and antique, to save her from her ill fate. Check out the results!!

The inside was just as charming! This bed frame was original to the house :)

The original doors were preserved. So bright and cheery!!

Original furnace grates...what style!

Original unharmed wallpaper was kept in the newly built closets so you could see what once was.

Though two bathrooms were added to the house when it was bought, the outhouse still stands out back.

Have a seat ;)

Many updates were made in the house that was roaring and ready for our stay. New release dvd's, computer in the study, bin of toys for our little ones, stacks of brochures for site-seeing, toiletries, washer/dryer, spices and kitchenware...the list goes on and on!!

We can't wait for our next stay!!
