The storage closet shelves have handwritten masking tape labels for 3rd grade arithmetic, spelling and art projects. Over the years, the labels have shriveled and dried, so recently I applied clear varnish to preserve them. A few years ago, the woman contacted me to ask if she could come by and take pictures of the house for the life book she was making for her great grandchildren. What a treat to meet her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489769312853218212.post-78993586292646615602011-03-15T13:57:17.836-03:002011-03-15T13:57:17.836-03:00We just got rid of most of the reminders of the fo...We just got rid of most of the reminders of the former maid's quarters, including the servant's staircase. We renovated our kitchen and 80's-addition bathroom, but also included converting the old maid's bath (above the kitchen) into a proper master bath. We did, however, manage to leave the staircase inside a built-in pantry area. So, any future owners can open up the lower cabinet and see the stairs. We use them for shelves. We were also able to salvage the floors beneath, but don't have such a charming story as yours.Kati @ so happy homehttp://www.sohappyhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489769312853218212.post-33014136062128655342011-03-15T12:31:23.199-03:002011-03-15T12:31:23.199-03:00Aww...what an awesome history!

Unfortunately, our home is a rental and the only stories we have heard about ours is the crazy hoarder who lived in the house before us that left an entire *CAR* in the garage piled under a load of crappola when he left...nice, right?

We have two gorgeous crystal ceiling lights that are original to the house, but older than the age of the house. I would love to know their story.elizabeth@themustardceilinghttp://themustardceiling.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489769312853218212.post-58652952784977329722011-03-15T02:38:28.807-03:002011-03-15T02:38:28.807-03:00What a neat story!
