Pictures: the house (or selected bits thereof)

[johnny9fingers]

A few lj-chums have asked the odd question or two about our house. Over the weekend I took some pictures in my inexpert way so I thought I could post a few of 'em on here for those that want.

Two views of the front room/drawing/room/parlour/lounge, or what you will:








The front hall/corridor and stairs:




Two views of the garden from the back of the house:







When the bathroom's finished I'll take some piccies and post them.

Well, as for the home improvement stuff, an 1890's house can go a number of different ways. Given that it's not by a 'name' architect, being just a simple corporate artisan's/petit bourgeoise house, we're keeping it simple. We may replace some of the moldings on the rear drawing room ceiling and shelve that whole rear part of the room (including library steps) as SWMBO opines we shall not move from here. So....simple and comfortable and (hopefully) beautiful. Fingers crossed.

As for young farchivist, I like her, but felt a line had been overstepped: so I basically asked her to check and examine her behaviour in the matter. You seemed to take the whole episode pretty well too, considering. Sometimes it's nice to be a bit better than to descend to other folks behaviour. I hope there is no animosity between you. You young folk :) can be a bit serious about stuff, especially when it is stuff none of us really have much control over, even in democracies.
