OCEANRED's Profile

This house has been for sale for a long long time. A friend had a party on that street and after the shindig I walked over to see this house. You could just walk onto the gounds but I know the big gate is locked now.
Next visit was with a friend who wanted to see what I was describing... lo and behold all the doors were open as the workmen were changing lightbulbs inside and out. I chatted a bit with them and got a quick peek inside from the front door, but of course they were unable to allow me in. Darn it! The place was wonderful just like the photos.

That living room made my heart skip a beat. The wood and stone and light is gorgeous. I love this type of architecture because it does not seem to overwhelm the people that need to function inside it. This place looks loved and comfortable. Yes...I am totally jealous.

I notice many times that the photo looks beautiful, but a floor lamp that high is silly. I am an avid reader and need a good size night stand for books and a great reading light. My lighting is a beautiful Haeger Pottery Egg design in yellow.

When my Mother lived in CT, she put her big Xmas tree out on her deck with a zillion white lights. The tree was up until her first swim in her backyard pool in May.
( Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr she loved that cold water and so do I)
Her house was near the road and we received comments about how beautiful it was to round the corner and see that tree through the big trees that bordered the road. I live in CA now and have no place to do an outside tree but those memories are some of my fondest ones.
