I absolutely cannot believe it. I spent a half an hour today working out the schedule for getting client’s homes decorated for Christmas. Didn’t I just do that last week?
Time must be compressed!
How about you? Ready?
Let’s go shopping. Obviously, I am way behind the curve.

Just days after I posted about the historic Gay House (here) a friend started talking about another amazing old house in Montgomery that hubby and I actually looked at a lifetime ago, the Winter House.
The story goes that there is a tunnel that was used to escape Wilson’s raiders that leads from the basement to the river.
The old grainy photo is from some ancient files that I dug up but take some time to examine this glorious structure. Notice the unusual balustrade around the porch and the trim detail between the columns. It looks like a key hole. See it? I love that charming little window over the front door. Steve Mouzon you need to jump in here with some more interesting info on this house.
And speaking of front doors does it get any better than this? I want them.
I know. It makes me cry also. Check out those corbels. How many must there be in all????? And by the way this is how shutters are SUPPOSED to be used. Have you ever seen the vinyl version that some builder stuck on a building BACKWARDS! Please.
Love, love, love those fish scale shingles and that awesome window.
Southern Accents you might be headed back to town.
