Vintage Heart Shaped Woven Wicker Rattan Basket

you see a tiny sign planted in the ground. bending down to read, you just make out, in impossibly tiny script "a mundane clump of dirt; much beloved by god, like any other"

high treason and traitorous sentiments are allowed on my page but please try to keep it classy, sexy, you know how it is

thinking it’s been too long since i climbed a fence

The Vicarage, home of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire

The number of messages I’ve failed to answer across all my devices and media platforms will be weighed against my soul on judgment day, and I will be cast into hell

Ever look at historic art and writing and artifacts and just realize we’ve all only ever been human

can you believe female hysteria was considered like an actual medical thing… god

I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because “romantic” doesn’t mean “sugary”. It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.

Carla always wanted an “Addams Family House,” and when this 1874 Victorian  came on the market, she was discouraged to see that it was on “Millionaire’s Row,” in Danville, Virginia, but then she realized that a million was a lot less back then, so she and her husband were able to buy it.

This began a 15 yr., & counting, marathon restoration project. Carla didn’t want to keep the white paint on the outside and was eager to see what was underneath.

This was the front parlor in the 1880′s.

This is how they found it.

Carla cleaning it up- she said she doesn’t know what made her think she could take on a project this big.

The parlor under construction.

The elegant finished product.

This was the music room before.

The music room after.

The previous owners had remodeled the kitchen, but Carla wasn’t having it.

So, the kitchen was completely taken down to the studs.

And, look at how incredible it is, now. 

The fridge and freezer were hidden in this exquisite cabinet. 

The finished exterior. Magnificent. You can follow the project by clicking on the link below.
