Designer's Choice (Use Photos If Possible)...
1. My home would be in the style of?
I live in the home of my dreams... even as we are considering moving into a one floor dwelling I cannot imagine living anywhere else...
Our home is considered to be a modified English Tudor..

I would love for the Gaines to do a redo on our front aspect... put stucco and decorative timber above the brick to bring back the Tudor style.


Elements like this plank door, gentle archways, style of fireplace, and the thick decorative stucco walls are not seen from a view of the home.
2. My kind of furniture style is?
My style is traditional with a bit of the Olde English thrown in for good measure..Here is the reading corner in our bedroom

4. My landscaping would look like?
When we bought this home 30 years ago the write up said it had a park-like yard... the yard is very big almost an acre... with many trees. We have actually cut down over 30 trees and planted probably 15 back. Through the sun room window

A lovely tea party,

summer greens

Autumn explosion


Spring surprises


Some of these photos are older than others... I reminisced putting this together about how our seasons have changed. In 2011 both of my parents moved into different nursing facilities and I just didn't have time to decorate as much...
then in since 2014, we have travelled back and forth from Boston a lot during and prior to holidays and I just do not decorate as much anymore, but things are beginning to be different now that that the girls are older... They will be coming here if they want to see us over the holidays.
Just for fun.. if money was no object.. well I love these I have on pinterest!
