This is the front hall closet doors. The doors look like they came out of an old french home. I hung french lace curtain panels behind them. These curtains are right from France, a gift from my mom.
Now this home has alot of colour going on. The original owner was an artist and she was not afraid of colour! Notice the attention to detail throughout this home. She had these custom made iron curtain rods made. I still can't figure out how to hang curtains from them. This rod is in the main bathroom. This is the only shot I have of this bathroom. The walls are screaming red with white thrown in. I have to change this.
This is in the kitchen eating area. I hung my red toile sheers around the rod. The rod does not come open so I can only wrap material around them.
This room is the library / passage way room as we are calling it. It also has the iron curtain rod. I just wrapped some toile material I had around the rod.
This photo is from the foyer looking into the kitchen eating area. All the walls are heavy plaster with alot of glaze going on so if the walls look dirty in the photos trust me they are not it's just the colour.
From the eating area looking into the dining room. The dining room walls are glazed in a heavy orange colour. Did I hear orange is in this year? I will have to ask Colour me Happy! More photos on the dining room at another date.
The kitchen cupboards are red. I really love white cupboards they are my all time favourite but I do like the red and my dishes look wonderful against them.
I love this old built in china cupboard. My pink vista china just stands right out. It is so amazing how all my things have fit right in with this home.
This room I really like it is so neat. It is a library and also where the staircase is to go upstairs. Behind the one cupboard is an ironing board. A great place to iron!
Now look at the very top of the cupboard! This is Acoya's new sleeping quarters! Goodness knows how he manages to get up here.
I am so thrilled about this. I love taking baths and before moving here it has been ages since I have had the luxury of taking a bath. So not only do I have on tub but two to choose from!
I think the same about you, Blossom, Berries and Dawn, I wish we all lived closer. Ah but there is time, when the kids are older for travel. Happy Birthday to your husband.
ReplyDeleteNow on to the house. I LOVE it. Oh my gosh, there is so much to work with, you are going to have an awsome time putting your touch on it. I can not wait to see more of you in it. Have a great week playing in your new house.
You really are living in my dream home - older with loads of character. I don't even know what I love the most - the red kitchen cabinets that look amazing with your dishes, the built-in dish cabinet that also looks amazing with your dishes, the beautiful front hall closet doors with your lace curtains, or all the beadboard. That is just too funny that your cat likes to sleep there - at least she won't get stepped on. I'm glad to see you are all moved in.
