When Asti and I visited we both agreed it was beautiful, and had such a lovely feel about it, we both went home very jealous.

I love the calm look of your bedroom. Something I'm aspiring to with ours which at the moment if far too boyish for my liking.(Think navy curtains, navy and green tartan duvet..... need I say more?) I know what you mean though about how reading blogs makes you look at your home in a different way. I know its bad to be envious but there really are some lovely bloggers homes out there. Yours is definitely one of them!Linen &amp; Roseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13109282224996790623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-50153962849670725622008-07-03T02:50:00.000+02:002008-07-03T02:50:00.000+02:00Loved peeking into your lovely home!

I know you will make your living room every bit as lovely and welcoming. I noticed you have a lot of sentimental items on your mantle and I wonder of it is possible to build in shelves with similar wood trim as your lovely antique mantel? I see that it might be appropriate in the corner where you have the secretary now? I have posted new pics of my bedroom at Calico Cat today. Come see what I have done and see if it meets with your approval!Dana Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14006886855600007312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-19104383913930420332008-07-02T00:59:00.000+02:002008-07-02T00:59:00.000+02:00Your house looks lovely, warm and inviting and I love that bird window sash..too cute. I love it when we have people come to visit because it is the only time that I can sweep my husband up in my cleaning re-arranging frenzy. If we didn't have a deadline to do it by it would never get done. You are a brave woman living with renovations and look you survived sanity intact and a gorgeous home to show!!!

I love victorian houses and would love to own one again, I do know what you mean though, about wanting to decorate again after seeing photos on blogs..I think I need about three houses to decorate so I can have all the different styles I like!prettyshabbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18205800259170816278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-58631944597415532122008-07-01T22:59:00.000+02:002008-07-01T22:59:00.000+02:00Can I come and stay too!<BR/>You would not want to see my house, EEK!

It's lovely!! I especially like your bedroom, I just love white and I like your stained glass door and I like your front door (ours is horrible plastic which just HAS to go)and your staircase... oh just all of it!!<BR/>Changing the subject, did you say you remembered Babs Edwards (mother of Jackie and Tina) who had the garage in Coverack? She died last week aged 96, I know as my mother spoke at her funeral.

My suggestion is give them a glass of wine or two and they will be too tipsy to notice any little imperfections. Your home is just lovely, so sit back and relax.

I think it is perfect and lived in and cosy. I don't like it when people slavishly follow trends of the moment. The room is you and your family and it will have evolved into your space over time. Its nice to keep it fresh and you always feel better after a coat of paint but I think itsl lovely.Alchamillamollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01530018036194322467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-70713794980415726552008-07-01T12:47:00.000+02:002008-07-01T12:47:00.000+02:00It's lovely and how I wish that you, and not the estate agent, had taken the photos of my house before it went on the market!callmemadamhttp://callmemadam.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-74503261137553752152008-07-01T12:38:00.000+02:002008-07-01T12:38:00.000+02:00What a beautiful home you have - I love your kitchen<BR/><BR/>We have lived in our home for 5 years and it is still very much a "work in progress"<BR/><BR/>April xxAprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932764162284909354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-60373970570977386822008-07-01T09:07:00.000+02:002008-07-01T09:07:00.000+02:00Hi Michele, what have you got to worry about? you home is fab, living in a cottage, I often long for lovely light rooms with tall ceilings, mmmm, maybe one day.......<BR/>Did a rather big e-mail to you a couple of days ago, lost the b***** thing!lost heart, but shall try again, we have a swap to discuss, I hope?

I think its funny how we aren't content with our own homes after seeing those of others. My mother is so unhappy with her kitchen, so I keep telling her to come take a look at mine and she will appreciate hers so much more.

We have similiar front doors-red also. Unfortunately I do not have a beautiful roll top bath or immaculate bedroom though. And your lounge does not resemble an indian restaurent! It looks very cosy-love the fireplace.<BR/>I can just picture your kitchen table piled high with card making paraphernalia-it looks like just the sort of place I would want to work in as well.xGarden girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177037227875733437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4668025906344987635.post-84336246094066728712008-06-30T21:18:00.000+02:002008-06-30T21:18:00.000+02:00This could be my story too Michèle. Not yet totally finished and thinking: if I could do this all over again then...The other day I mentioned to visitors that our curtains (which were very very expensive due to the high ceilings in this house and the fact that I had chosen expensive English fabric) were not entirely my style anymore (after 5 -6 years). My husband reacted as if he was stung by a bee...so I'll finish what I have to finish here and then...try again! Wishing you luck!!
