  1. I found many treasures in the attic of my childhood home, including this Colonial Revival Bed, which I refinished under my Grandmother's tutelage. It still graces our home. #childhood #childhoodhome #home #house #oldhouse #oldhouses #antiques #antique #antiquebed #colonial

  2. One big surprise #lastweek was learning my #childhood #home has gone #OnTheMarket again.

    The Kendall House in #Kenora #Ontario (1895) is one of those grand #OldHouses with #gingerbread trim, cast iron radiators & #livingroom #windows looking out on Main Street.

    When I lived there, the unfinished #attic was filled with boxes of children's books & I would sit in the dusty #gables leafing through them in the afternoon sun.

  3. I had a walk today and I just fell in love with this old neighborhood. It started to feel like it's so easy to fall in love everyday. ... Like... Is this the princess castle and the tower where I wanted live as a child? Of course in between the Tarzan plays. I was the only girl though, boy-girl, I could never be the Tarzan. I was the monkey.

  4. In today's episode of mystery wallpaper, we have this stuff!

    Anybody know ANYTHING about these remnant samples? There are three patterns. In both cases the cross-hatch version went down first. In some cases, it was covered either by the small circles paper, in other cases, it was covered by the random organic pattern.

    but!

    In some cases there are two layers of the SAME pattern.

    And all of it was on plaster.

    And then it was all painted over.

    I think this was out of date paper when it was installed, and may have been painted immediately after installation. It's all very old.

    Clues, anyone?
