The story of Tallulah House

Once upon a time, a very nice young couple (that'd be Chris and Kimberley) were looking for a house. Rent was so very, very high in the big city of Atlanta that a mortgage was actually less expensive. And so this intrepid young couple went looking for something affordable inside the Perimeter, a seemingly impossible task. However, after only a couple of weeks, their realtor brought them to her own neighborhood and showed them a Cape Cod. Kimberley fell in love with its circular floor plan at once. Chris was less enthusiastic about the one bathroom aspect of things, but even he could see the charm of this little old lady.

Besides which, Kimberley felt that the house needed her to love it and that, as we all know, is that.

And so they paid a sum for her that caused Kimberley's parents to gasp for breath, and in the fullness of time, the nice young couple moved in and named this house Tallulah.

After four years of taking care of YEARS worth of deferred maintenance and several other, larger, projects (to be discussed in later posts), Tallulah House is turning into the cottage home that they always wanted.

And, they hope, loves them, too :)
