You know you’re restoring the right house when you dig into the past and find a little cowboy waiting for you.🤠

​We found these beautifully weathered snapshots hidden away in the attic. From porch portraits to a young boy in his chaps standing by his pony, these images are a beautiful reminder that we aren't the first ones to love this place, we are just the lucky ones getting to preserve it for the next generation.🤎

Did you know that the classic QWERTY keyboard layout was actually designed in the 1870s for early mechanical typewriters?

​It wasn't created to help people type faster, but actually the opposite! Early typists typed so quickly that the mechanical arms (typebars) of the machine would frequently jam together. To fix this, inventor Christopher Sholes rearranged the keys to separate the most common pairs of letters (like "ST" or "TH"), intentionally slowing down typists just enough to keep the machine running smoothly.

​Even though digital keys can't jam, the layout stuck around and became the global standard we still use every single day! History is fun! 🤎

When we first stood in this doorway, it was buried under decades of dust, discarded furniture, and peeling layers of old wallpaper. Most people would have seen a room full of forgotten history and walked away.

But beneath it all, we could hear the heartbeat of this old house. We saw the hand-carved rosettes on the trim, the potential in those massive pocket doors, and the warmth waiting to be unlocked in the cypress walls.

​It took endless hours, raw effort, and a mountain of patience, but we didn’t just restore a room—we brought it back to life. Today, the light pours through those windows, hitting the original floors just right, and it reminds us why we fell in love with this place to begin with.

​Sometimes, the most beautiful things just need someone to believe in them again. 🖤
