I wanted to give you guys a tour around the new Marsh homestead! My mother would appreciate it if I would make it very clear that this home is still a work in progress. We have not even been here one month! In fact, I have excluded showing you the spare bedroom (aka my current room), the office, the powder room, the garage apartment, and the garage because those works are still TOO much in progress :) All photos were taken from angles that excluded moving boxes :)
Hopefully the following partial tour will be enough to give you a feel for the house as a whole.
Starting at the beginning! As you can see below, the house is a Texas Historic Landmark. It was owned by the man who founded the Sealy Mattress Company (he named the business after the town).
The previous owners gave us photos of the house before the 1995 renovations. You wouldn't believe the transformation! The woman who lived here up to 1995 had let the place get so run down because she was afraid any home improvements would increase her taxes!
Let's move on inside. Here I am hanging out on the front porch:
