A few of you asked about the original newel post on which our Victorian Diana fixture stands. We grabbed some close-up shots to show you the beautiful detail. It’s a pedestal worthy of a goddess!

We’ve got lots of finishing touches to complete, but it’s a big day for us as our staff finally starts moving in. Today has been years in the making and we are so excited!

Thanks to our REALTOR Partner @marathonmovingcompany for doing the heavy lifting!

We aren’t quite ready to welcome guests for tours, but we will post here when details are available.

Michael Strickland of Stained Glass Associates is the artisan who created our replica window. He worked with us over several months to carefully match the dimensions and scale of the original, and then brought us samples to consider colors. We’ll share more about those color choices soon.

Of all the striking features on the first floor, perhaps none are as beautiful as the stained glass window.

Stay tuned this week for more about the design and installation of this work of art.

The signature piece of our lighting plan has now been installed and she is a beauty. Traditionally, newel posts like this one at the base of the main staircase would have had a sculpted light fixture to welcome guests.

We were not able to locate any photos of the original, but we chose this replica of an antique originally created by Mitchell-Vance for their 1876 catalog.

Our Victorian Diana reproduction is made of brass-bronze and weighs more than 100 pounds.

There weren’t any light fixtures left in the house when we started - just the shell of one tired hall pendant and a few grainy photographs were all that remained for us to go on.

We think the replicas we chose do the original design justice and make the house really sparkle. Paired with the ceiling medallions, they make you want to look up in every room.

PS - we’ve got one more really amazing light to show you later this week so stay tuned!

These screen doors are being restored to go back on the north porch. When we sanded them down, we were pleasantly surprised to find they are made of beechwood, which was a common lightweight material used by European makers in the mid 1800s. Based on the wood and construction, we think they were likely ordered at the same time as the original windows.

These doors, with their flexible wood splines to hold the screen in place, will look beautiful and let in a breeze on nice days.
