The fireplace is fabulous. The lettering above the mantel reads:

The kitchen cabinets are original - carved open work with green glass handles. The rest of the kitchen was also beautiful, including the high open shelves to show off the owner's glass juicers and reemers.
The breakfast nook - built in and so Arts and Crafts. Just lovely.
This was just so cute - antique mirrors hanging above the tub. I want to do this too! But I only have one - oh well, at least I have something to look for at the antique stores!
If I knew how to do a contest, I would give a prize to the first person who could tell me what this is. I wanted to put these in my house when we built but DH said no.
So there you have it. My second favorite house.
