As I promised we are about to begin my home tour.
I should really start you out at the front entry but I couldn't wait to show you this room. so let's pretend we came in the back door as good friends often do. You would enter the yellow enclosed porch here.
The other three sides are windows with old knotty pine trim and ceiling. It looks into the back yard and part of the main garden. The windows are trimmed with yellow gingham.
Then you must go through the mud room which is not much to see, just painted white, lots of coats and shoes and purses hanging on hooks, depending on who's over.
A quick turn to the right and here you are. One of my favorite rooms of the house. My blue and white Country French breakfast room.
Take your time and look around. Don't look too close, there's a lot to dust and I'm sure I missed plenty.
There's a small collection of blue onion, a vase from Romania, and others.
My view every morning as I read my book and sip my morning tea. What flowers are blooming today? I wonder what bird that is calling? Look, did you see the hummer?
And here's another passion of mine. Blue Willow. This curio cabinet is also loaded with cobalt blue, and flow blue, and a piece or two of blue Greentown Glass. Most of it must go, but I'll keep some of the special pieces.
This is a look around the plate rail. The wallpaper looks a little yellowed in these pictures but it's actually very white.
I know it's a lot -- I told you on other blogs, I can get obsessive. I'm embarrassed to say there's another plate rail above the windows, fully loaded, but the light was too bright to get a good picture. After the tour, I'll take down a few pieces and photograph those close-up.
Check back for another room in a few days. I'm thinking front door this time. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry the cookies weren't done; it's been a rough day.
Hmmm, maybe another cuppa will hit the spot.
