A CORNER OF A BEDROOM: my dressing area

A corner of my bedroom serves as a dressing area 

to select an accessory that is right on hand is a pleasure.

a new purchase, a dancing skirt,

looks like here in Massachusetts it will be singing and dancing

in the rain! 

a lovely portrait I bought that reminds me of my

banana curl years.

So glad you could visit!

thank you,

Karen

My Little Sitting Area

Welcome to one of my favorite seating areas in my home, the Brayton Homestead, circa 1796. This spot is located in the center front of the house; with some stretching you can view the Taunton River.

A small space, the top hall landing to be accurate.

My attempt was to create a space to linger or to look out at the water. I think it has

a bit of a French flair, do you?

So I am linking with the beautiful

French Cupboard's

Vintage Inspiration post

here vintage needlepoint on my walls and pillows,

and a bench I created from

salvage pieces..

even the door to a bedroom is adorned with vintage needlepoint, my favorite textile,

and a set of old suitcases just waiting to be needed...

Original shutters from the cellar make a wonderful folding screen

while hooks from my kitchen's pot and pans rack

allow me to rearrange pictures easily, such as my watercolor painting a of a stone cupid statue and of course vintage needlepoint!

my guest bath

Come on in so I can show you around my guest bathroom. Putting a bathroom in a house built in 1796 is not an easy task. Originally, the Homestead had no bathrooms, enough of that...

No really, please come in. It is not very big, but it is bigger than it appears. Originally this room was called the "BOURNING ROOM". Yes, a room to deliver children in. Isn't that incredible?

The louver doors to the right open to a washer and dryer with shelves above. Another door near it opens to a shower. All tucked away to look old but very convenient. The floor is classic small black and white check ceramic tiles and the wallpaper is by Erica Wilson, one of her beautiful needlepoint's.

To the left are shutters that open to the sun. The white flowers grow wild in my yard, I just love them! Still around since college is the white plaster sculpture I made, and I still love it too...

thank you for coming by,

Karen
