An antique grandfather clock joins the mid-century table, chairs and china cabinet in the dining room. Jill refers to the clock as “a find” because she got it for $150 and it appraised at $1,400.
A Pat Abernathy portrait of Jill’s great grandmother brightens the master bedroom where a four-poster bed and gold starburst mirror take center stage. A large floor cushion proclaims, “All you need is love...and a dog.” The master bath also has colorful local art, along with
a rustic cedar cabinet for the raised sinks and a soaking tub.
A second bedroom and bath that are equally filled with charm and art make up the remainder of the home.
