It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Finally! Some gorgeous weather! Unfortunately, my body decided on Saturday morning that it's had enough of the abuse that I've been putting it through and I tweaked my upper back washing my hair. Luckily, it only put me out of commission for most of the day on Saturday and I only have a few twinges of pain today. But enough about getting old. Let's look at something that's gotten better, despite its old age, like this beautifully restored old house. Built in 1914, this home still has some of its gorgeous old features, like the gigantic front porch and grand living room fireplace. And is that not the most cavernous master bedroom that you've ever seen? Maybe that's what I need... a good restoration.
I want that bedroom, goodness how BIG! :-) Very lovely house! I hope you don´t have to suffer much longer, it sucks with that kind of pain. :-P

I've been dying to have a porch like this, which is unfortunately not practical here....sigh....And look at that massive bedroom! Gah!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful house! Thanks for sharing! I hope you will feel better soon! <3
ReplyDeleteI could settle I to this house quite easily...and I love the porches! The stove seems to be in an odd place. That looks like a spot for a fridge.
ReplyDeleteKeep stretching and taking care off your back. I like to lay on the floor and bring one knee at a time to my chest.
That is either the trickiest lens ever or the master bedroom is the whole floor! I love that this house is old and has character. Do you know why the porch roof is falling off on the right? Maybe for the sun? They don't do that up here. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your back problem was super temporary!

Deleteyeah, enough about getting old. I'm with you on that...
ReplyDeleteUgh, that happens to me too. More often than you might think. But the pain only lasts for a few minutes, rather than a whole day (I guess the damage isn't that great). That porch reminds me of the B&B we stood in when we went to Cape May. That thing was humungous! We joked it was about the size of our apartment.
ReplyDeleteEek! Back pain is so wrong! But that house . . . oh, my. I love, love, love it.
ReplyDeleteI once tweaked my back making my bed. And I think we all know what the solution to *that* is! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this house. There's not a lot I don't love, actually, although Neel and I still don't understand why master bedrooms have to be so huge. What I do love is that I can set my glass of wine on the toilet while I soak in that tub.
That is a beautiful house.
ReplyDeleteUhm, can I move there please? I'm totally dying over the decor and square footage, haha!
ReplyDeleteLooove those windows. Those sort of original window panes give off the best wobbly light. I adore them. And that front porch! Sorry about your back. You'd think being in the shower/under hot water would be the one place your back COULDN'T go out, but alas! xo
ReplyDeleteYou always find the most gorgeous homes, but this one is really calling to me. Can we just pick it up and move it to SF maybe? ;)
ReplyDeletesome new kitchen flooring and it's done. i'll take just as it is after that. what a gorgeous house! i love all the space, the wood floors, the woodwork details, the ceilings, the floors, the windows.
ReplyDeletesorry about your back. that is the worst. i am glad it's going away though. rest up!
sorry to hear about your back. hope it gets better soon. and oh my goodness i'm in love with these floors and i love that bathroom as well!
ReplyDeleteOMG I would love to live there! I watch way to much HGTV and then get depressed at all the gorgeous homes that I don't live in :O Glad to hear your back is feeling better.

Ah, drooling. SUCH a beautiful house!
ReplyDeletewow gorgeous home and I think the floors are my fav.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love how there's just so much space and light. Would love to curl up on one of those armchairs and read a book by the fireplace
ReplyDeleteI wake up and my arm is killing me b/c I slept with my hand above my head. Poor old blood circulation..feel ya, girl.
ReplyDeleteThat house is great! It looks so tiny from the outside, but spacious on the inside. I love that porch!
