Blue Christmas...

stevieb — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 17:23:30 GMT

Last year around the holidays I came across a picture or two I'd seen in an old House Beautiful of a pretty house done up for Christmas so posted them. Shortly after, I happened across a more complete layout of the home, but since the season had passed I opted not to post further. Well, here we are again, so here goes... Opening pictures in their own windows will likely net better views of these pretty rooms...

@stevieb Very pretty and well done. I love the room that the Christmas tree is in. The windows are gorgeous.

My favorite is the last picture. Rich woods. Really striking and stunning.

Thanks for holding on to these pictures from last year. Nice post.

So pretty....the inside rooms remind me so much of the homes on the Christmas Tour of Oceanfront Homes located very close to me.

We went on the tour every year since the 80's but due to Covid it has been cancelled the past 2 years. Boy do I miss it.

I think the the home is very pretty. I love the pictures with the Christmas tree. The dining room is my favorite room here. There are a few things I would change in there, but overall it's a nice room. I think the table and chairs add a nice contrast against the otherwise very light room. I would also like to see the wood floor exposed, as that would also off set that light color scheme.

@manny2 In the actual photographs the dining room is just lovely. The colors in these posted pictures aren't 'true', at least not based on my memory... The floral chintz host chairs are very pretty and the fabric a bit more vibrant than is reflected here. Meanwhile, the walls are just a hint more creamy-yellow (but not too yellow) than they appear here and the trim, dado and corner cabinet are, as I recall, just a bit more of a blue than the more grey tone they appear to be here... Of course, I'm the first one to admit that my recollections could be off too...

Most of the house is too traditional for me but I love the "Christmas Room" and all the blue decor. I've frequently done color-themed Christmas decorating myself. That tree has lots of personality.

Love the outside of the house. The blue does not make it feel like Christmas inside. It's Christmas not the 4th of July.

Stevie, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you so very much for sharing. Is there room in the Inn? Over the mantle next to picture what shell is this?

@stevieb

I love it all. The room with the Christmas tree is my favorite, but I don't think I'd change a thing in any of the rooms. There is a house somewhat similar to this one that is about 5 miles from me. I don't know what the inside looks like, but I've admired it for years. Well, we can dream can't we?

I to love the Christmas tree room. My dining room and a bedroom are blue. It makes me want to buy something blue.

Beautiful! Blue is my favorite color, so I could easily move right in! I inherited some Blue Willow china from my grandmother, but I never thought of putting on the wall for display.

Thanks for sharing.

@chessielady I understand. I'd like to live there myself but I'm afraid you'll have to negotiate your move in date with the owners...

@Queen of shop I agree, the windows in the blue and white room are amazing and the room that I believe is called the men's study is very charming, very warm and traditional and I too was won over by it... Just love the look of that room right down to the subtly plaid carpet and I really want that off white Chesterfield sofa...

It is lovely but indeed, that is a lot of blue. But, I like it.

Awww, thanks, nice of you to say @sligo. This place is in Lichfield Connecticut if you want to check into whether or not guests are welcome... As for the shell, I think I'll leave any definitive response up to someone more expert than am I, but it looks like a tortoise shell to me...

@stevieb

What a lovely, quaint property. Nice colonial home with interior to match. The Christmas decor & settings really warms the home & a person's heart.

Just missing some hot chocolate with a cinnamon stick & a tad of whip cream.

Thanks for sharing.

@ECBG Glad you enjoyed and yes, I know, me too, candy for my eyes... I used to covet and save so many shelter magazines back when they all really did features on lovely rooms... I saved many of them for years, but ultimately there was no room... Now days, most of them are easy to skip but every once in a while one really captures something really fun and lovely to look at...
