Getting Ready for Pilgrimage

 It's been called, " The prettiest little town in the South," and at Pilgrimage time each year in Eufaula, AL one could never argue that fact.   The Shabby Old House got a fresh coat of paint and some new flowers for the pots.
 Each evening hubby had to scrub off layers of paint from his hands and feet.  Yes, I did say feet.  lol
 And because of scheduling conflicts for so many years in a row we had to once again pass on a chance to paint our door the color of the rockers.   All homes in the historical district must have an approval before any changes get made.  Perhaps next year we will make it before the approval committee.
 But until then these are the only changes we can make and I must say I loved how the color livened up our front porch,

 to welcome our out of town guests for the 47th Annual Pilgrimage.
 I love this time of year.   I get to dress up!
This is the Petry-Honan house on Cherry St where I have volunteered for the last two years.
I hope that if you ever get the chance that you will come for a visit.
We just may open our home for the Christmas tour of homes.  That is,  if I can get the Shabby Old House ready in time.

Hooked on Houses Tour of Homes

This is our house that we are restoring in Eufaula.
And my blog is about the restoration of that house but the photos below are what lead us to buying a home in Eufaula AL
While on a road trip we discovered a wonderful town in Alabama. We fell in love with the town of Eufaula. So much so that we started to look at houses in the town. This is the home that we almost bought.

It was completely renovated.


Highland View. It actually is for sale today.

This lovely home has been totally restored and the grounds are so beautiful.


Stepping into the dining room you will see why this home was one that was chosed to be on the Pilgrimage Tour of Homes.



The pocket doors were stunning. The Antiques were beautiful.


This picture was used in the flyer for the Pilgrimage Tour.



Unfortunatley the picture was dark but still try to see the beauty of this room





This is the rose surrounded pool...ahh I just wanted to jump in.





This is the family room.




This is a strange window that you actually had to raise the window to step out onto a very special porch.



Up the stairs there was a library on the landing.



This is one of three bedrooms.



Another picture of the beautiful stairs.



Nice bathrooms.















Now it is time for a wonderful adventure.
