There is something about her. You step into the foyer and the "restoration goggles" (a distant cousin of delusive "beer googles") seat themselves firmly on your nose. Suddenly, the peeling wallpaper, burst pipes, exposed lathe over cracked and fallen plaster recede into the background and all you note is the amazing woodwork, fireplace, cove ceilings and elegant fixtures...just like magic.

If I can just get past the smell, I'll be able to tackle it:)
