I have to allow myself a short chuckle......as I have made sure you have not seen the "adventure playground" which is the kitchen complete with tons of wet washing, smelly dog blankets and muddy paw prints
Right off to walk the dogs and then off to the hospital to see my brother..thanks again for your many best wishes
Oh - I like those china doggies, now that I can see them, John!
ReplyDeleteI love the old lady bedroonm - I think it is straight from Anne of Greengables. Your home looks lovely. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat you need to do is call the producers of "60 Minute Makeover" right now. They will transform your museum-like property, bringing it up to modern day standards. After all, this is 2011, not 1911!
ReplyDeletelove the dog! and did i see a grandfather clock reflecting in the mirror? show us! :) jill
ReplyDeleteHey Pudding, I like the 1911 look...
ReplyDeleteit looks so comfortable!
If you updated everything to 2011, you would just have to redo it all in 2012 when fashion changed and I have it on good authority that the 1911 look is coming back. John is so fashion forward...
I love the feet on the Miss Marple bookcase.
ReplyDeleteI know you've already got a (well deserved) blog award but if there was one going for 'Best Header' I think it should go to you.
It cracks me up every time I see it!
Oooo John you've made my day! LOVE the wall paper and steeply pitched ceilings ...iron bed...dresser...bookcase...chair...sigh. I see the top of the grandfather clock in the mirror...PLEASE show us a picture of that one day when you feel up to it..pretty please. The desk in front of the window looks like a wonderful spot to write a letter or even sip a cup of tea and watch the world go by. I see the cute doggy draft blocker in front of the door ...at least I think that's what it is. Just as I thought your cottage would look...cozy and inviting...sort of like you John ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good walk with the dogs and a nice visit with your brother. Thanks very much for sharing your cottage with us...loved it.
Maura :)
So neat to see your lovely home, John! That is one cool drop down desk! All the lovely old things make your cottage so comfortable looking!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for Andrew!

I like the deco art terrier dog.. Cool~!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us have a peek of your house.. I would be very selective if I took pictures of the inside of my house.
Could you take a picture of the outside of your house.
Hope you are having a grand week~!
You have a beautiful house and I think you have some great pieces of furniture.
Have a tiggeriffic day~! ta ta for now from Iowa..
Thank you so much for posting the pictures! When I go to other people's homes I often want to know where they got this or that piece and what was the experience like. I think that you have a beautiful cottage! If you wake up one morning to find the "Miss Marple" bookcase gone then just know that I made a midnight visit and took it! (And you're not getting it back, either!) I love those huge round ball feet. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThe "Old Lady" bedroom?
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely and would be quite pleased to rest my weary bones there. Then again, I AM an old lady...
;-)
Thoughts & prayers with you and your family.
I love your house as is!
ReplyDeleteHope your brother is doing better. ♥
Hi John--I haven't been by for a few days and missed the news about your brother's hospital visit. I'm SO glad to hear that the procedure was successful and that he's in your unit being cared for by those you know and trust! I'm holding him in my prayers and indeed, all of your family. Here's many thoughts of strength and vitality, healing, and patience coming your way. :-)

Love the inside of your cottage! Reminds me of a warm and inviting country home.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do know how to decorate with taste!
xoxo
Looks like a very comfy cottage. Love the art deco dog, too! Love art deco in general. :)
ReplyDeleteCharming! Love the statue.
ReplyDeleteWell wishes for your brother.
I love the Old Lady Bedroom...I'm an old lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightfully charming and cozy home! It makes me want to grab a good book, a hot cuppa and curl up and pretend to read. In reality, I'd just be charging my batteries.
ReplyDeleteIt also makes me miss
Thistle Cove Farm.
