Hi everyone! I would like to share with you some interesting details about house design, which I noticed while travelling to Italy. I use couchsurfing services quite often. Last spring I travelled to Florence and made friends with a very lovely couple from this web sitehttp://swap-house.com/host/italy/ Thought even today it is difficult to understand them, we keep in touch. Their house was very big and designed in a very extraordinary style. I don’t know how it is called, maybe someone can help with it? I have a similar picture
"Campground meets trendy but insufficiently funded art gallery lobby."
We only have the three main common rooms decorated appropriately. he bedrooms just have not caught up yet. It takes a long long time to locate appropriate and acceptable antique furniture or high quality reproductions. We learned the hard way, antique beds are pretty impractical for use. They are not very sturdy. Our bedroom at least has a theme. The wallpaper is french Toile (white and periwinkle) with scenes of people and boats and maybe castles, so, we are slowly accumulating french Toile furnishings or at least color and styles to match. The kids will be long gone before we get the bedrooms done, but that may be just as well since they are hard on furniture (and walls). The kids bedrooms have no theme and are pretty modern mish mash. One room kind of has a wolf theme and a huge photomural on one wall of a forest with a waterfall, but those are starting to come off all by themselves. [deleted text]
I don't don't French Toile...or periwinkle...but my mother-in-law gave us these two chairs and lamp with which we don't know what to. They look French to us and, some day, will want to find a way to give them a new home with somebody else.

The back parlor and dining room are all quartersawn oak. Most of it is 1850s - 1880s, however some things we have no idea when they were from, including a pulpit chair or masons chair that looks like a throne. The TV is hidden in a huge europeon quatersawn oak amoire with neat beveled mirrors. We only put quartersawn oak in the dining room or back parlor.
