The Rosecliff Mansion

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I dropped off my fabric to the upholster and now we just wait on the results. I am so excited to see how it will turn out. I also went and smelled some fall candles at Bath and Body Works. I love the honeycrisp apple and harvest pomegranate. They both smelled so good, and I can’t wait to get them for my home.

Before I share the last Newport Mansion tour, I wanted to remind everyone about the Jasmine Pearl Brooch. It is on sale right now and would look great on your cardigans, coats, and totes. Yes, I attach brooches to my totes all the time! You should give it a try.

Now on to the last mansion tour from our trip. The last house that we toured was called Rosecliff Mansion. One fun fact that I loved about this mansion was that a few movies were shot there. True Lies and 27 Dresses as well as The Great Gatsby.

Now this home had less rooms to look at and more open spaces. I believe this home is used more for parties and weddings. 

Loving this entry way…

It had such a grand entrance. Perfect for your wedding guests to walk into. 

This was to the right of the entrance hall. I could see the hostess standing here greeting everyone. 

This was the first room we walked into. Always look up…

There were so many details in the chimney. It’s a work of art!

Of course, beautiful artwork everywhere. 

We walked around and came to this room which I believe was another study for the husband. Look at the ceilings!

We came around to this room next. I remember the app saying something about one of the owners. She became really depressed at some point because she had no visitors and begun to just roam around the home. I found that to be very sad. 

The upstairs only had a few bedrooms and those really didn’t have much in them. I did see this little vanity area in one of the rooms. I thought it still looked like furniture that we could use today. 

We did see this grand ballroom before heading outside. This was my favorite room in the house!

We then headed outside to the gardens. I loved this long pergola. It was so elegant with all of the vines covering it.

Everything was still beautiful and lush despite the heat. 

All of the properties had these beautiful ocean views. I could see why the families wanted their “summer cottages” here. I still can’t get over the fact that these call these summer cottages. It’s remarkable! 

I hope you all enjoyed this last Newport Mansion tour. I will be sharing the beautiful gardens, Newport car musem, and the timeless Ralph Lauren store in Manhattan, New York. Have a great Monay!
