Part 2 - Vintage House Tour

I'd like to show you the rest of my SIL's home.
I'm sorry that the first 2 pics are actually pics of pics.
I didn't get a pic of the master bedroom and bath,
which were both "start from scratch" add-ons to the house.
Sil sent me some great pics,
but my pics of the pics weren't so great.
So, next time we are up there, I'll take some pics firsthand!
Here's bedroom



                                She got this desk - originally painted green! - and had it refinished.
                                                    The beautiful gold mirror belonged to her MIL.


This is the grandchildren bedroom.
Don't you know they love all the bears!


This was my BIL's secretary desk as a "young-un". It's painted red.


More bears in a very old wagon.


These Currier and Ives prints are flanked by two former looms that are used as sconces.


Two antique French pics....wish I had looked closer in person!


Love the way she arranged VERY OLD family photos at the end of the hall. 
Most all the quilts in this post were either made by her mom (my MIL) or family.


She was able to use this wonderful piece of stained glass
as a focal point in the master bath.
Isn't it beautiful!

That's it - tour over.
Thanks for coming along!
Blessings to you!
Linda
