A Delightful Home Tour ~ 2

 

And a Happy Monday to you all. It’s May already. It’s suppose to be a little warmer this week. I certainly hope so. Today is moving day. I move into my new office today and officially start my new job. On Friday, me and our officer manager took a look at my new space and tried to come up with a way for me to change it. I don’t like the setup now but I am hoping that we can get things moved and into an arrangement that I will enjoy. Fingers crossed!

I wanted to finish my home tour today. There are a few spaces left that I need to share.

Now the Study was my second favorite room in the home. Well, maybe a close first to the dining room. I adored this room. I loved the french doors, the navy floor-to-ceiling draperies, and the oriental rug.

Now I LOVED this desk! Oh my goodness, I just stared at it when I saw it. Isn’t it an elegant dream?

 

 

Just sheer beauty. I read in the booklet that Catherine Wright decorated this room and that Solomon Paris Antiques was one of the sources. I looked them up and they are local! I am planning a visit now.  Couldn’t you see yourself in this room with a cup of tea and writing some letters?

Then we walked upstairs and into the master bedroom suite. 

 

 

They had chinoiserie wallpaper! Honestly, I am not a big fan of the bed but it compliments the wallpaper well.

Here is the chinoiserie wallpaper up close. I do love the deep purple and golds. 

 

 

What do you guys think about the yellow vintage sofa? I love the structure but the color…. not my taste.

Now on to the master bathroom. I do love the dual vanities. Lots of space and beautiful details.

The lady’s side…..

 

 

 

The walk-in closet which we could not go inside to see… sad face.

Loved the light fixtures and details.

A Juliet balcony… well almost. It is lovely. 

 

 

 

The outside was an oasis itself. The tents housed the gift shops.

And of course I could not end this post without showing the beautiful pool. The gift shops had jewelry, flowers, cookies, and tea towels. I purchased some baked goods, tea towels and some peony thank you notes. 

I hope you all enjoyed this tour and let me know below which room was your favorite? Have a great Monday!

    I literally gasped when I saw that desk. What a dream. Lovely piece of furniture. The home is very beautiful but liveable. It’s not so museum like. It’s comfortable. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you have a good, productive first week in your new role with your firm 💗🌷

      I know! I gasped when I walked into the study and saw that desk! I thought there is no way they found that here but I think she did. The home is so liveable. There were so many other rooms and a completely decorated basement but it was such a man cave. I really had no interest in taking pictures of that room. I am so glad that you enjoyed the post and thank you for the well wishes. It has been a busy week already!
