I am the proud owner of a 1936 bungalow in the Central Piedmont area of North Carolina. It was purchased from the estate of the original owner, Laura Sims Brown. She died at age 96 on March 31, 2009, exactly two years prior to my closing on the property. Everyone who knew Ms. Laura says what a fine and remarkable lady she was, and how she loved her home and gardens. I hope to preserve and continue her efforts.

Howdy, neighbor!
On the days I was hanging out at the property and waiting for inspectors when my purchase was pending, I saw a gorgeous, small china cabinet under the neighbor's covered back porch. It would go great with my decor and I couldn't help but wonder if it had come from Ms. Laura's house. It appeared someone was home, so I knocked and asked about the cabinet, offering to buy it. Imagine my surprise when the neighbor gave it to me! It had come out of my home, so it was nice to know it could go right back in. It's the perfect display for my McCoy cookie cars, and makes me smile each time I see it.
