Remember this post? Well, my chance to see inside the coveted Farrell House has finally come. I learned recently that the house actually did sell, much to my chagrin. And the lady who purchased it is doing a major renovation. But despite that, she decided to take part in the Holiday Home Tour this year.
Happy, happy me. . . or at least until I actually entered. Then it was envious, envious me! Oh, how I love that house! The charm. The molding. The history. The porches! Sigh. . . and all that for a partially renovated 95 year old home.
I got so wrapped up in breathing in the atmosphere that I nearly forgot to take any pictures.
Then I pulled myself together and snapped a few quick ones in rooms that weren't too crowded.
They don't really do it justice, and she made a few choices I would not have. . .
but over all the house was lovely. Just lovely. . .
There were also three other houses, one built in 1928 two blocks from the Farrell House, which was charming;
one newer home built in the arts and crafts style in 2006;
As a bonus, the Farrell House was decorated by four designers--one of which was the owner of Camas Antiques--and several of my (and Lisa's) pillows were included in the master bedroom decor.
But what I'm really excited about is seeing the home in the spring when the new owner hosts an open house to show off her reno--which I hope she lets me photograph. And of course I'll share.
Movie of the night: Farewell Kris Kringle. I give it an 8.
