A Visit to an Old House


I often go to Long Island to visit old friends

and revisit the past.
Something very comfortable, especially this season,
 in things known and traditional.

Things reflected in a silvered mirror....

silhouetted in a small window.....

and decorating a hutch.
Season's Greetings....

  1. You really captured the charm of the home - oriental rug, Victorian walnut table, wing back chair, probably all assembled and collected over time, as opposed to a designer setting a stage. Very warm and inviting!

  6. A lovely warm and inviting home! I expect tea in the drawing room and a formal dinner in the evening :)
