A sweet old home in Lewes, Delaware, USA was pampered with modern updates by Robert Gurney Architect.  The town is lined with historic bliss, as the earliest European settlement in the eighteenth century reflected in the surge of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century building stock.  This coastal residence at 308 Mulberry Street holds fast in the heart of the historic district.  From the street, the character is maintained with the areas’ traditional cedar siding, mighty fireplace chimneys in brick, darling white picket fence and shutters.  The well equipped additions to the structure enhance the floor plan with ample space perfectly surrounding its lovely patio and swimming pool spaces outside.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
