Welcome to Helen's home, the other half of Devereaux House!
Originally a schoolhouse, Helen has renovated this into a charming cottage.

Just like her sister, she found her front doors here @ Black Dog.
Salvaged from Egypt, they used to look like this...

a good lesson to look for potential in everything!
