For this room nosotros wanted an Old World French/English feel.......pretty but leaning towards the masculine. When Zach comes to see I am a chip outnumbered. Actually it's my gustation too. As I conduct maintain said before, I similar Versailles amend when it was a hunting lodge too non thence fru fru.

Anyway hither it is, hope y'all enjoy. Again I apologize for my photography too lighting problems. You tin toilet learn to all the other rooms through links at the bottom of this post service if y'all want to see them.

This room that nosotros run equally a household unit of measurement expanse was originally the dining room of this onetime house. Since it is towards the dorsum of the house, where in that location is to a greater extent than privacy, nosotros run it equally a sitting room too I moved the dining room to the front, across the hall from the living room. The wall color is a muddied aqua too is truly truer here, but without the flash the moving ikon is likewise dark....so the walls hold off a chip greener inwards most of the pictures.

   Lisa Farmer-

A chip brighter! The room is perfect for a chip of TV, reading, or when Zach is hither it gets turned into a game room. We are large boardgamers. Not the onetime Sorry or Monopoly games, but the newer Euro board games that conduct maintain adventures too mysteries that tin toilet accept 3 to 4 hours to solve.

Lisa Farmer-

The left side of the room is pretty much dominated past times the antique oak Welsh closet too the tapestry (which for roughly argue looks chocolate-brown inwards this moving ikon but is truly green). The oak washstand is a household unit of measurement slice that I know has been painted too stripped 2 unlike times during my lifetime. Painting slice of furniture is sure non a novel trend. Next to it is an onetime demi john inwards it's master copy wooden crate.

The Welsh closet sits on a base of operations amongst a carved scalloped apron too cabriole legs. I dear the Medieval experience of the closet amongst it's Gothic doors too corking carving at the top. See how light-green the tapestry is......that is what it truly looks like.

My Staffordshire collection. I simply started collecting this summertime too am falling inwards dear amongst these wonderful pieces of English linguistic communication pottery. Will shortly last publishing a weblog post service close them too their history. But hither is a chip of info. While the men tended to the higher terminate pottery too porcelain, unskilled women too children painted the Staffordshire figurines. That is why they conduct maintain that naive folk fine art charm to them.

Looking from the sitting room into the dorsum hall.

You tin toilet run into this on the closet higher upward too I want y'all could run into inwards person. I dear unique too interesting things too this is a large souvenir mass from Fountinbleu circa 1900. It is sage light-green amongst gilded lettering that truly doesn't exhibit upward well. I also conduct maintain the smaller ruby-red 1 y'all run into from Malmasion, too 1 inwards my component subdivision from Versailles too the Trianons.

It is 12 X ix too has roughly beautiful drawings of the interior too exterior. There are twenty-five inwards all on difficult postcard similar stock. Very detailed too all written inwards French.

Lisa Farmer-

The beautiful candelabras amongst rose marble too onyx bases came to me from a friend inwards France.

Lisa Farmer-

This tapestry is all inwards needlepoint amongst the figures existence done inwards petite point. For roughly argue their colorful costumes inwards muted pinks, blues, too yellows don't come upward through. I took the pictures inwards every lite too on every agency I could but yet no luck.

Lisa Farmer-

I dear petroleum paintings of landscapes, particularly ones involving castles. Also, the antique needlepoint tapestry over the curtain contains a castle too came from an estate auction. You'll run into close-ups subsequently thence y'all tin toilet run into the colors better. This is the alone room that didn't conduct maintain a fireplace too yet is the coolest room inwards the work solid thence I bought the imitation 1 amongst infinite heater to warm things upward a bit.

Some of the castle paintings.

My favorite is the 1 at night.

Lisa Farmer-

I constitute a gear upward of these antique damask covered French chairs too planned to run them inwards here. It's a chip likewise crowded amongst 2 thence the other sits inwards my bedroom. There is a bath through that door but is long too narrow too difficult to photograph.

Lisa Farmer-

This was an antique wardrobe I constitute this summertime on Craigslist. It was twice equally deep too had mirrors inwards the front. I needed a bookcase (actually demand 2 more) thence I had this cutting inwards two, shelves made from the excess, too nosotros installed the glass. I am really pleased amongst the result.

Lisa Farmer-

This large mitt embroidered slice on overstep of the bookcase is 1 of my favorite treasures. I collect antique heraldry too handmade textiles too was delighted when I constitute this at an auction.

The bookcase is for storing my antique books. My other reading books are inwards drawers all over the house, that's why a demand roughly other illustration for them. I conduct maintain collected books for years but non until this twelvemonth conduct maintain I started concentrating on French books. 

I had to portion these too the 3 on the left below that I constitute at a Goodwill for $25.00......all from the 1800's too all inwards French. Needless to say I was thrilled!

Lisa Farmer-

Close upward of the French clock. It is pastoral inwards pattern amongst a miss gathering wheat. Also the small-scale moving ikon beside it is needlepoint.

Lisa Farmer-Eye For Deign

Well, I approximate y'all conduct maintain to conduct maintain something modern.......but if I must, it has to sit down inwards front end of an onetime French tapestry. All the BIG amusement is upstairs inwards the Man Cave. Don't learn me wrong, I similar tech gadgets likewise too piece I relish having Alexa playing music inwards every room.......I simply don't desire to hold off at her. I locomote on all gadgets good hidden.

Lisa Farmer-

A twain of views looking into the dining room

Lisa Farmer-

Also this onetime etching of a Renaissance interior is thence lovely too detailed.

And of course of teaching it wouldn't last my work solid without a feline...... or four. When these 2 exhibit upward inwards the level the tapestry pillow gets moved too they desire their blanket.

My Onetime Globe Main Sleeping Accommodation Suite

Last year, since yous were all together with so sort to ask, I promised many of my Facebook together with Eye for Design friends together with followers that I would present some pictures of my ain home. You withdraw keep seen spider web log posts on my living room, dining room, hall together with kitchen. That leaves the household unit of measurement room together with the primary chamber suite which includes my office. The ii bedrooms upstairs became my husband's human cave since our boy moved out. Although he has it genuinely prissy it won't live on the tour. I withdraw keep non taken the fourth dimension to withdraw keep line of piece of occupation solid pictures for almost a year, together with so inward guild to fulfill my hope I idea I would become ahead together with characteristic the chamber kickoff together with sometime earlier the terminate of the twelvemonth I'll larn approximately to the household unit of measurement room.

I idea it would live easier to include the bath together with my purpose since they are genuinely component of the chamber suite. The chamber is eclectic quondam the world inward agency somewhere inward betwixt classic together with solid set down manor. There are French influences every bit good every bit Neo-classical, together with English. I withdraw keep plans together with projects ahead that volition disputation things to a greater extent than to the French side. Will update every bit I complete projects, but for now, this is it. I hope yous enjoy.

Looking into the chamber from the door leading outside. This room is painted inward a soft blush musical note that is difficult to photograph together with changes color depending on the fourth dimension of day. The truest color volition live what yous come across on the lower parts of the walls where the golden incandescent lighting doesn't interfere. I painted this quondam desk nigh fifteen years ago. The iv poster was handmade yesteryear a human inward Lexington together with I withdraw keep had it through my 80's primitive colonial stage, through English linguistic communication together with directly into to a greater extent than Old World. My conception is to plough it into a lit à la polonaise agency bed together with am looking for a coronet. H5N1 projection for when my dorsum gets better!!

I am together with so fortunate to withdraw keep this nifty window spot inward the bedroom. It's 1 of the things that sold me on this quondam house. That together with the 12 human foot ceilings. The quondam wool tapestry came from an auction inward northern Kentucky together with is manus appliqued. It is inward soft muted colors on a night dark-green background that precisely exercise non present upwards good inward the photographic television receiver camera light. I am planning to modify the window handling shortly to something that enhances the hanging.......so many projects, likewise lilliputian time.

I honey antique textiles, peculiarly those that are manus made. I crusade together with purchase whatever that I respect at prices that don't suspension the bank. There are together with so many places yous tin bathroom utilisation them to give your dwelling an quondam the world feel.

Here is a closer flick together with yous tin bathroom come across the colors a chip better.

You tin bathroom come across the applique run together with manus stitches amend here.

Just a lilliputian vignette inward the infinite inward betwixt rooms. I collect quondam household unit of measurement crests.......any mention volition do!

Looking through the bed into my office. This room has v doors, a fireplace, together with a window box which makes it difficult to come upwards up amongst wall infinite for another pieces I want........like an armoire.

You become through this bag door into my office.

This expanse is a combination of French together with Neo-classical. I honey reliefs, Greek cardinal patterns, together with other classical elements together with intend they run good amongst French furniture.

My desk is a large trestle agency amongst carved legs together with feet that yous can't genuinely come across inward these pictures. I flora an quondam sentry makers cabinet that sits on locomote yesteryear of it. The French telephone was a birthday introduce from Tim. The French girandoles were flora inward a vintage machine parts junk yard. They were apart together with inward a box.....for $50.00. There is a floor similar that behind everything I have. God leads me to some incredible finds!!!

I want yous could come across the sentry cabinet better.....all these lilliputian drawers together with slots. The slice at correct was made yesteryear my nifty gramps together with I withdraw keep considered icon it but precisely don't withdraw keep the heart. Above the desk is an antique needlepoint flick of a immature French falconer. H5N1 treasured gift from a friend inward French Republic is displayed inward the cloche.

This room is prettier if yous are genuinely standing inward it. It's non that large together with so it is difficult to photograph to larn total views. The panels were quondam Chinoiserie panels that I painted together with stenciled amongst articulation chemical compound for a raised Venetian plaster look. This window is 1 I proceed shuttered together with so I also covered it amongst a tapestry together with framed antique French needlepoint spot cover........pretty muted pastel colors that over again precisely don't present upwards well.

The lilliputian antique bench is where yous volition commonly respect a sleeping cat. Sophie, Chanel, together with Buddy similar to relax hither spell I am Facebooking or working on a blog. The quondam pillows are petitpoint together with are of French chateaux. I am in all probability going to pigment the slant locomote yesteryear desk cream every bit a wintertime project.

The closer the photographic television receiver camera the to a greater extent than color yous tin bathroom see. There is alot to a greater extent than bluish but precisely doesn't present upwards good no affair what I do.

I withdraw keep several crystal chandeliers throughout the line of piece of occupation solid together with wanted something unlike but similar to become inward my office. I looked for over a twelvemonth for 1 of these antique Italian vine chandeliers. The crystals check into metallic buds together with so it looks similar they are blooming. Found it finally together with the toll was RIGHT. Tim did withdraw keep to rewire the sockets every bit they were Italian together with did non check our bulbs.

This twelvemonth I purchased this large quondam unframed fossil oil on sail that  genuinely impacts the room. Hard to tell hither that she is threescore inches tall. My vision was to position an antique French daybed hither underneath it. However, my dorsum dictates that it does non desire to become upwards together with downwards basement stairs to launder clothes. So the washer together with dryer directly sit down hither instead. Dream has been position on concord until nosotros tin bathroom convert a covered porch to a mudroom. People tell to hold off on the brilliant side though an comprehend what a pretty laundry room I have.

View from purpose into chamber that shows the French screens on either side of the bed. It genuinely has iv panels but I withdraw keep them carve upwards together with folded for now.

I withdraw keep tried to modify the photographic television receiver camera setting together with so the colors are a chip truer fifty-fifty though now the dark-green is weird. The screens are genuinely covered inward blues, greens, together with deep reds on a cream background. Also blues inward the needlepoint pillows.

Looking through door leading to the hall.

Another of the MANY doors. This 1 leads to the bathroom.

I withdraw keep to tell the floor of the mantle. There is an quondam lady inward town that nosotros assist from fourth dimension to fourth dimension when she comes yesteryear needing nutrient or another assistance. She has a roof over her caput but no electricity, H2O etc. together with won't become anywhere else. She is a hoarder every bit well.......like on TV. One twenty-four threescore minutes catamenia this huge human shows upwards inward a truck, knocks on the door together with says "Deborah wants yous to withdraw keep this". I didn't debate amongst him. Where it came from I don't know. Anyway it went perfect inward my bath together with I am glad to withdraw keep it.

I volition eventually exercise something unlike underneath it. Without the photographic television receiver camera flash yous don't come across the stripes together with so it does hold off better. Just French script showing.

The crystal chandelier together with sconces launder out the green, deep reds, together with blues inward the pictures together with the acanthus leafage boarder nether the leopard print. However without them on it is likewise dark.

I turned off the sconces but it yet didn't help. There is a pretty lilliputian French demilune tabular array amongst painted flowers on it that precisely doesn't present up.

I honey lidded garden urns! The cherry yous come across inward the step good runs through all these rooms but for some argue it shows upwards good hither but nowhere else.

Looking downwards the hall.

Usually Chanel or Sophie are the ones interested inward getting their pictures taken but today Buddy wanted inward on the act. He turned upwards at the terminate to tell good-by.
