another era

Sometimes I think that I should have been born in

another era.

the ruffles, the hats, the attitude...

where bathing was an art form and a luxury

is this tub in the middle of the room not amazing?

Lovely screens awaited to

envelop you while you dressed...

and you could escape in the images of far away lands...

Please enjoy, Karen

Paris Ruffles

Can one not dream of Paris under a bevy of pink ruffles?

I frequently envision a return trip to Paris,
including what clothes I will be dressed in…

Views of the city nestled under one’s head
Certainly leads to thoughts of travel during slumber…

Imagining attending a fashion show
in the fashion capitol of the world...

I think Krumpet might even be dreaming of Paris

Are You?

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
