I have a distant relative involved in Charleston restoration. A big theme I took away from listening to him was the significance of restoration v. rehabilitation v. preservation. I know it is a contentious debate. But when I come across an interior that has been saved but not entirely finished, it captures the imagination a bit.
Hello Ann, I definitely like the look of not over-restored. I can never understand why people move into an old building, then insist that everything look like new. Lakeside looks like a place I could live.

I actually LOVE the rough finishes, etc. It's old -it should look old! I hate when things get so OVERLY restored that they look brand new. Whats the point?
I like the large tester above the bed but I can't see how it is hung or supported? It looks like it is simple there by magic.
