    What an incredible transformation. That Queen Anne just sort of blended in with her surroundings before...now she shouts out about her beauty!

    Lovely, just lovely!

    What a change those colors made. From blah to wow! Who picked those gorgous colors? The house now look current and still antique at the same time, what a feat.
