The Foyer with Italian commode and bronze statue.My Country English home was built in 1967 and designed by a wonderful architect, the late Jean Atkins, whom I fortunately got to know when we bought the home 11 years ago. She was living across the street at the time and she and I became very close. She was such a talented lady and had such elegant, fine taste. She was an avid antiques collector and taught me so much about them and I was fortunate to have been her "student" before she passed away. The Steinway in the livingroom belonged to her and I bought it and had it referbished and that just tickled her to pieces because that was her favorite piece of furniture. I have several pieces that I bought from her and will be forever grateful to have them in my home.
Like I said , we have been here for 11 years now, and I making plans to redecorate and also to renovate the kitchen. I am going to completely redo the Master suite, but haven't really found the fabrics that I want to use, so I am taking my time with that!
My husband and I love our home and feel really blessed to have lived here. For many years it was my favorite home in our town and I would ride by just to admire it often. I could hardly believe it when we had the opportunity to purchase it and make it our own! God was good to give it to us and we are so grateful to Him. "Every good and perfect gift cometh from above."
Hope you have enjoyed your little tour of my home. The exterior can be seen on my profile page.......someone once described this home as a Fairy Tale Cottage. It certainly does have charm and great curb appeal!
If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and visit me! You are always WELCOME to my English Country home!
