Thanks to reader, Barbara, for submitting this West Virginia fixer upper. Despite the boarded up veranda and the 2×4 porch pillars, the exterior brings us back to an earlier time. The interior boasts wainscoting, some wood walls and ceilings, tiled fireplace mantels, hardwood floors, and even a few vintage lighting fixtures.
