nice photo. I think pillow is a bit distracting there. I am not sure. Too bright

At a point I see pics only, so I thought it could be a familiar house of yours with free access...

I love the pillow most. I tried a crazy quilt once, but eh...
I love those story holding things.

It was really cozy in this little parlor, with a fire going in the fireplace nearby. I wish I could have shot more of the inside of this house but it was PACKED with people! I hate when that happens!

Yeah, that's why I go to the Kellogg Manor house at noon - right when they open for the holiday walk and try to stay ahead of the crowds. Problem solved fortunately when the tours hit the coffee & cookie table in the Billiard Room

a wave of nostalgia for my grandmother and her old house hit when i saw this. you know, people used to make good furniture and keep it for generations. beautiful shot, but i wish the fuzzy ferns or whatever in the upper foreground were clearer.

Toadsmoothy2 In reply to Bark [2007-12-03 14:43:01 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad it brought back fond memories. Very true, that old furniture was built (by real craftsmen) to last and last. Finally people got sick of it in the 50s and burned it! That splotch is actually on the texture.
