    I have really enjoyed watching this old beauty come back to life! I had the pleasure of knowing several family’s that lived in the house over the many years and you are doing such an amazing job on the renovations. I hope someday you will share your home on an historical tour. Welcome to Newnan!

    what finish did you use on the whitewash ceiling? how did you achieve a nice bright white but the perfect amount of wood grain showing through?
    would love to know!!
    Thanks!

      Mary, I apologize for not responding, but I am just logging on for the first time in years. If you’re interested, I can check with our painter, Casey Stamps. Mike
