The kitchen is a gem with that unusual heavy chandelier suiting the dark wood around the upper part of the kitchen. Of course the cooker had to be there. I wonder if I'd ever learn how to operate one? The fireplace in the living room even looks like there are ovens built into it. I loved the pewter on the dresser in the sitting room. I liked reading what you had to say about the color flow in the house. I never think about that but I know it would help if I did. <br /><br />Loved the tour! And thank you so much for your sweet comment at my place today. I appreciated it so much.<br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-11953164916435753682013-11-12T10:18:30.785-08:002013-11-12T10:18:30.785-08:00Rose, I feel as you do.

I remember painting my tiny kitchen yellow in the first apartment my late husband and I shared after our marriage. My mother was so upset with me for painting it yellow. She hated the color yellow. I very nicely reminded her that it was my kitchen, not hers. ;)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854211710203164265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-72014026564776149152013-11-12T09:15:14.821-08:002013-11-12T09:15:14.821-08:00Nancy, I really enjoyed this....my favorite of all...Nancy, I really enjoyed this....my favorite of all is the kitchen. And yes, it is just the perfect yellow. I had a Home Ec teacher say that it was a bad idea to use yellow in a kitchen...I so disagree with her. Yellow makes me happy just looking at it...I really loved all the cottage, though.<br /><br />As to the Markle House, I do hope I can capture it in snow....that is not generally the direction I head if heading for snow pics, but I am with you in wanting to have one in snow. And spring.

Then there's that door in the library (the big dark one to the right)- so rustic and grand. The master bedroom may be my favorite- I'm a big fan of all things red, so it really caught my eye. And again, the door in the master- fantastic (that hardware!).<br /><br />I feel as though I have been there- thank you! :)<br /><br />Love, Joy @ YesterfoodJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305575848572309812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-34660107352002651332013-11-10T17:28:59.319-08:002013-11-10T17:28:59.319-08:00That's really neat!
