Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights.
We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a 1946 house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live the rest of our lives. We were married in this house.
Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here for 14 years and feeling a need to ready the house for the next 14 and beyond.
The house looked such a mess – fantastic job cleaning up! The house looks quite nice when clean.
Must be an inspiration to have architect coming now.
Keep up the good work Charlie and Jo!
You have a great blog Charlie/Jo !!! It has such a welcoming & homey feel to it!!!! I am excited on following your adventures & renovations!!!

Hi there,
I accidentally came across your blog while searching for ideas for a bamboo trellis. It is very enjoyable reading and I’m adding it to my favorite blog list. Good luck!

Love the garden area, very organized and full of personality from the two…..looking forward to hearing more about the adventure of a lifetime….House renovas…and garden….”watching from the ‘ Crows Nest’
My husband and I have a rubbing of the same midievel knight that you have. I believe it originally belonged to his grandfather, and we don’t know it’s origins. Do you have any information about yours? I would really appreciate it.
The only info I have is included in this post: http://charlieandjo.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/art-at-the-glade-4/ . Perhaps you could Google-search images using “brass rubbing”. Jo
