I know what I like — and I like this a lot...

I've always wanted one of these doors somewhere in

my own living space. As a child, our family doctors' office

had one very similar, but unpainted. Not sure

why I remember that so vividly. Apparently I did not

have any tramatic experiences in that office — because

I still want that door.

I simply love the aesthetically nimble wine storage afterthought —

and all the clear glass in that immense cabinet really resonates as well.

Let me at it! Let me at it all!

Goodbye Mr. McQueen...

The House Next Door...

Just look at the beautiful decay. The desk wall is magnificent.

The entire house has that charming Dickension feel.
OK, you know we are having trouble resting our eyes.
What to focus on? The vintage leather seating, those antlers,
that perfectly weathered floor? I'd love to paint a room
using this heavy-bordered approach.
Remember my Erin Martin posting from Monday?
Photo III featured a bedroom with a much more cleaned-up
version of these stripped plaster walls. I do enjoy them both,
though one is definitely more realistic than the other.
Calling all vintage chairs and stools in this photo — line up,
because you are coming home with me.

The mirror? The ladder? The mirror? The ladder?

Most pressing decisions are hard to make.

The outside space features a conservatory and York

stone paving.

Coziness at Quentin Bacon...

Bacon makes primitive look fetching and fresh again.
I'm a fool for repetition.

OK, maybe not so cozy — but affective and lovely just the same.
