What is The AP?

Join me on an unexpected journey in restoration and research at the circa 1810 Simon Jude Chancognie House in Charleston, South Carolina and beyond.

More soon….
467 panes of glass later, I am stowing my putty knife to glaze another day…. That day will come again, probably sooner than I would like, as maintenance is an ongoing task, but for now, here’s to not laboring over Labor Day! #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
Shutter revelation may not sound quite as catchy as transom transformation (see previous posts), but it is just as satisfying. #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
The transom transformation continues…. #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
A transom transformation is underway…. Slide for before images, all will be revealed soon! #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
Thank you to @decorativeartstrust for inviting me to share some of my adventures here at the Chancognie House in the latest edition of The Magazine! When I took up residence here eleven years ago, I never imagined writing an article for such an esteemed organization or digging a giant hole in the yard to recover the artifacts featured on the cover. It has been a fascinating journey thus far and I cannot wait to see where it will take me next! #theaccidentalpreservationist #chancogniehouse
