And so it begins...

Neither of us thought we would ever feel the need to write a blog.  That changed on Thursday, July 18th 2013 when we officially became the proud owners of Greenwreath, a historic plantation house located between Greenville and Falkland in eastern North Carolina.  As a building listed on both the North Carolina Registry and the National Registry for Historic Places, it was clear to us that our renovations needed to be faithful to the house’s time period, as well as thoroughly documented in order to keep the public abreast of what we are doing to one of the local architectural treasures.

What follows is an account of our experiences and adventures and the ongoing renovations of this amazing place - or "that big old yellow house" as we quickly found out how people in the area know it.  We will try to post our updates in a timely manner!
