So our dear friend, Mrs. Karen Prewitt, interior designer and owner of Quattro Canti Interiors , suggested back in November that we turn our attention from restoring the house itself to preparing the grounds for our first event--an oyster roast. So, at Thanksgiving we began a major cleaning out and preparing the North front lawn for our 1st Night on the Grounds! Our last post showed the massive cleanout we did to improve the site, so I won't bore you with the demolition and building cleanup. I thought after that post most of the work was done; however, there was plenty more to do to prepare for guests.
