You are so right - people have wanted to make their homes welcoming, beautiful, or showpieces throughout history. Our homes say something about us.<br />Thanks for the tour!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-28268691291737725192013-09-06T13:49:21.633-04:002013-09-06T13:49:21.633-04:00Those rooms are amazing in their color and intrica...Those rooms are amazing in their color and intricacies of detail (did I say that right?) . I especially like the queen's bedroom and wondeR what it must have been like to be a young mother there with new baby and husband gone.

Were your jaws hanging open? <br /><br />I think that most of us like to surround ourselves with beauty, even if it simple and humble beauty. It seems like the Lord put a longing in our hearts for a lovely place of rest. Even the most beautiful things here will not compare to the beauty of our eternal home!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-1874668611876185432013-09-05T18:29:51.857-04:002013-09-05T18:29:51.857-04:00I was here much earlier and my iPad didn't coo...I was here much earlier and my iPad didn't cooperate. I don't think that I can recreate what I was trying to say so let's see how much I remember. I remember that beautiful blue and think that it seems current to me. Oh it always amazes me how creative and talented people of all generations are. And, I love the symbolism of the unicorn as Christ.

I love the colors and the attention to detail!<br /><br />I completely agree with you regarding decorating homes.....we have little in the way of a decorator's budget, so I watch for sales of 90% off and use an approach of mix and match with natural colors in order to continue a common thread. <br /><br />Those who live here find it comforting and those who visit always comment on how cozy our home is. And to me, that is a compliment.<br /><br />Love seeing your pictures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275909775932657243noreply@blogger.com
