Last week I took you on part of my walk through one of the historic neighborhoods in St. Charles, Illinois. This week I’m sharing the rest of that walk with you. You’ll see mostly bungalow style homes on this part of the tour, but I’ve added a couple others too. St. Charles is right next…

Hi Jennifer, I absolutely adore all the front doors you posted. Makes me feel so inadequate. People do such beautiful things. My front entry is in such dire need of work but I can’t decide and there’s not much there architecturally to make it special. Thank you for stopping to comment on my Sandlot Rascal’s rehab. I sure appreciate you taking the time!
