Welcome Daisy!
I'm fairly new here as well. Instantly Dotsie and many others here gave me a warm welcome. This is a wonderful place to be.
I can relate to living in a fixer-upper. It's hard work. Do you ever watch home renovation/decoration shows like Trading Spaces or This Old House? (As if you ever have time for TV ;-) )
Again, welcome. I look forward to getting to know you.
Marie
