Ashley Street House Tour

The Ashley Street House Tour was a great success!

If you click on the photo it will bring you to Picasa Web Albums where you can see a full screen slideshow or download copies of the photos.

The Ashley Street House tour was wonderful. The pride of ownership was apparent in every home. Neighbors greeted each other warmly and admired all the added touches. Each home was graced with lovely floral arrangements from local florists. Delicious food was available in each home - a combination provided by local restaurants, home owners and neighbors. It was really a delightful experience to see how each homeowner had personalized these wonderful Victorian homes.

Curb Appeal on Ashley Street is a Family Affair

 
The beautiful Victorian front porch on Ashley Street is welcoming indeed. The details of the 3 color paint and gingerbread trim are so charming. And this welcomes Dulcie & Valerio home every day.
They need only to look out the oval window in their front door to see the home that their sons Joey and Alex bought.



Everyone has been working hard to remove overgrown bushes and put in new landscaping. The results are terrific. The window boxes are such a charming touch.


Dulcie's parlor is beautiful - ready for furniture.


Joey and Alex sit down for a moment between moving furniture and planting shrubs. Their home had already been renovated and ready to move into.
