Sweet Inspiration

I was digging through my photo files a little while ago, gathering photos for a couple of other posts I'm working on.  In a file from 2006, I found THIS ...



I took this photo outside Caravati's, an architectural salvage yard in Richmond.  Little did I know at the time, but I guarantee that there will be elements of this gorgeous Victorian gable repeated later as we renovate one of our outbuildings into a guest house.

THIS is why it pays to ALWAYS have a camera in your purse!

  3. Oh, can't wait to see the guesthouse! Love this gable - reminiscent of the gingerbread cottages on MV. Now if you could only swipe the green door to go with it!

    This gable is beautiful. Can't wait to see where you'll use it!
