3C's your house is amazing, WOW! Is your staircase, Chestnut? I just love it, LOVE it! I know Im not the one having to do the upkeep, but..... I want too!
Love the house too. I'd like to see more shots of the interior. Tell us more about it. How old? how many rooms? how many servants does it require for upkeep? :-)
Cool house lady. Those pics remind me of a house from my past.....I'll have to ask my mom if I've been to your house before. (I'm not joking.) :) XOXO Joce
Nita, you too huh? I have pondered long and hard over what color to paint that hallway. I lean toward a peachy gold or maybe just plain peach, but I want to not clash with the stained glass window....maybe someday I will decide and overcome my terror of climbing around up there.
Linda, thanks, it is old and in need of tlc, but we love it (header photo by Becky)
WW, thank you. I think it is oak, but there are woods included in the construction that not even the carpenters who worked for us could identify
Linda, that railing in the top picture is very high....very, very high. He likes to get up there and teeter around terrifying everyone. I tried for a picture but he was down and up to something else before I got there with the camera. Liz caught him and brought him back downstairs. he isn't supposed to go in that hallway.
FC, thanks, credit to Becky. she is using the little camera and doing great things with it'
Jan, thanks, I will take some. We are not sure of the exact age....there are around twelve rooms, give or take, depending on what you consider a room....I mean the little storage room off the bathroom where we keep the towels is big enough that I use it for an office....really.
Anon....The folks who owned it when the boss's dad was a kid had them...it probably looked better then. Actually the old fellow worked here as a gardener when he was a boy and planted many of the perennials that still bloom every summer.
Joce, anything is possible. It has changed hands many times....
akagaga, up on the railing playing flying Walendos...the little stinker My school bus went by here when I was little before we moved up to Fulton County. We called it the haunted house and looked up the hill at it hoping no one would be looking out the windows at us. If you had told me I would ever live here.....but about that tower room. Sadly the tower is but a shell of what it oughta be...it ends in an open area in the attic and there isn't even a room at all and the darned windows are too high for the vertically challenged such as myself to see out of without getting up on a bucket...darn it!
Erika, thank you. I think of those lamps as wiring by the weird I guess. They are blinding....I don't know who put them in that old woodwork, but I would like to know what they were thinking...probably that some son of a gun stole the chandelier out of the ceiling so they had to put light somewhere...
Mrs. M, it doesn't but I wish that it did. It has huge heavy pocket doors that close themselves when they are in the mood though. lol did your meme, thanks.
What is going on here?
Crazy Cat and Crazy Girl! Hey how did you get our wallpaper?
ReplyDeleteOur house does not have any fancy woodwork just a plain farmhouse.
I wrote a National Register nomination for house like yours. Beautiful!
WHAT a BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! I am assuming the header is your house!

uh, oh ... Has the knife-wielding cat done something really bad this time?
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, I've loved your house since I was a little girl. I want to live in the "tower room," way above the hoi polloi. :)

You have the most amazing house. Does it have bookshelves that spin into secret chambers? lol
ReplyDeleteI tagged you for a photo meme. Ignore if you don't want, of course! :D
