One of my favorite movies of all time (at least for the sixties-era decor eye candy) is The Help. So I was thrilled when Pam Powers of Powers Properties tossed this beautiful home our way—it served as the setting for the interior shots of Skeeter’s parents’ house in the film.
Show me the eye candy!

I’ve had my eye on this house for a while, so I was thrilled when a CIRCA fan (thanks, Laurie!) sent over this listing for one of Saginaw’s most historically-significant homes, now complete with lots of interior photos. The image of a piano sitting in an abandoned room and surrounded by peeling wallpaper would spark a thrill in most lovers of old homes, myself included. This one’s got bones—won’t someone please save it!?

I have a message for all the budding artists and old house professionals out there: You CAN make a living doing what you’re passionate about, while at the same time doing GOOD FOR THE PLANET. I’ve always been a complete old house fanatic, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be in a position to share beautiful fixer-uppers badly in need of saving with the entire world. And to see them wind up in the hands of people whose only motive is to love and restore them? Well, I couldn’t ask for more.

The piece was also picked up in numerous other publications, including Cosmopolitan and House Beautiful. According to the realtor, the phones have been ringing off the hook. Time to get this beauty SAVED!
I’ve included a few photos below just as a tease—You’ll get the complete package over at Country Living.
Special thanks to Coldwell Banker McMillan and Associates for allowing me to write about this gorgeous home!

Nestled in the Southern town of Mobile, Alabama, on a charmingly historic street in the Oakleigh Historical District, this early 1900s bungalow is a lovely showcase of turn-of-the-century quality construction. With its deep red painted siding, this house is surely to be the most noticeable on the block.
