Y'all know that we moved (again) last July into our (hopefully) last house ever! At least, our last home this side of heaven. So for those of you yet to visit us in the great metropolis of Darlington, PA I thought I would post some pictures for you to see. Bear in mind that we have many projects to do so we will be busy painting, plastering etc for quite some time.
View from driveway
View of the original front
View of side/porch-the driveway is to the left of photo
Back yard view of house
Garage with sliding barn door. Second floor is unfinished and used only by bats. I'm told that is where visiting parsons would sleep.
Dining room. We changed the chandelier but haven't painted yet.
Upstairs landing. Have removed wallpaper and carpet but not painted.
This is the upstairs bath in the process of being reno'd.
Upstairs bath finished -thanks in large part to Chad's brother Dan who knew what to do.
This is across the street from us-a little church that dates back to civil war times and played a part in the underground railroad. There are civil war vets graves there.
This is the living room-used to have purple walls and purple carpet.
Another view of living room. There are five fireplaces in the house, but most are bricked up. This mantle is marble, the rest are hand carved wood.
This is the staircase.
Below are some photos for family to see of the little cemetery where grandpa and grandma Tweed are buried. It's about 5 minutes from our house in New Galilee.
So hopefully those of you who haven't been here can come see us sometime. There's plenty of room (and we promise not to put you in with the bats) If you're interested in seeing some more info about our little town, go to darlingtondays.com and read up about the annual event that's coming up this weekend.

Your home looks beautiful already and so much potential for years to come! Thanks for taking the time to share - it's encouraging, since I have so much to do, and children not old enough to help, yet!
