Welcome to Hartwood Manor ... Our Foyer.

This photo of our foyer and staircase is from a real estate brochure when our house was for sale in the 1970s.  It gives our 1840s house a distinctive 1970s vibe.  Things have certainly changed a lot since then.



Last September, I did a very comprehensive Before and After post about our foyer.  Click HERE to go to this post ... to see what things looked like when we bought this place in 2002, and to see where we are today with the renovation and restoration.

It's fun and motivating to see how different the Befores and Afters can be.  It will be even better once this is finished .... whenever that is.
