Well, here is the earliest drawing we have of our Creole cottage - from an 1854 Sheriff's sale. At this point, in fact, we are a bit presumptious in calling it "ours" since we won't sign papers for another 3 weeks. But we're too excited - and need to make too many decisions quickly - to wait. We'll post more details later, but for starters, what do you think about the doors? Do we return them to the original placement as in this drawing? Or do we keep the 1930s "storefront" corner door in the previous photo?

Go back to the original configuration - the historic commission will love you, and it will probably add to your resale value when you move....check how that change will impact placement of furniture etc. inside. By the way, I like the original white, particularly if there are not too many others in the area. What is your elevation? Are you below sea level? Blessings, Cecil McKinney
