Every inch of the house and land was being preened and fluffed and polished. Men sprayed oil on the log sides of the house, roofers roofed and gardeners gardened. No one had loved this house in 40 years and it had almost died but now it was being loved again. Old photos were looked through to find its history and to see what was original to keep. Old doors and carvings were saved and cleaned and used again. Every bit of its beauty was illuminated, special lights showing off its hidden details. It was new and fresh now but the strong feeling was of going backwards to reclaim the past and place this small piece of once-beloved art back on the pedestal it deserved.
