Where She Went

As you might have guessed by now, Joyce was an aspiring interior designer. She even explained to Daily Mail just how much she liked interior design. We really do think she would have been amazing at the profession if she went down this career path in the past. However, the time has come for her to let go of the masterpiece she created over the decades. What did the future hold for the talented woman? The media learned that she was selling the house because she wanted to find a way to fund a stay at a retirement home. She did not want to spend her twilight years taking care of such a big home on her own. Now retired, she used to work as a seamstress. Who would have thought that she could make the interiors look so beautiful despite her lack of professional training? She explained to HGTV, “I’ve always tried to be individual, and follow my own styles.”

A History Lesson

In 1942, Joyce and her husband moved into the house at 148 Jane Street. If you know your history, you already know that the Second World War was still ongoing at the time. Most people were preoccupied with the conflict when the couple moved into the two-story brick house and made it their own. Many people were curious if the new owners wanted to retain the interior design or work on a makeover instead. It seems like a big shame to ruin all the hard work Joyce put into the house. However, we do not know what exactly the previous owner did to the house. We can only assume it has since been sold because the listing is no longer up. It is not an actual museum nor a heritage site, so whoever ended up with it can fix it up any way they want. At any rate, we sure hope they did the right thing.
