We are having some mild but dull weather
here lately so I haven't taken any photos of
our home yet but I wanted to share the photos I
took at the White Columns in Kennebunkport
last week.
We had a guided tour where we got the history of
the home and shipbuilding family that lived here.
We were also told that the ladies spent a few weeks
decorating the house for Christmas ~ love those trees!
This rug went wall to wall and was unstitched and
cleaned twice a year and then hand stitched back
together twice a year....that would not be a job I would
look forward to!
The bed , dresser and nightstand were one of the first matching sets made.
The crazy quilt is beautiful too.
This was the children's room originally.
This bedroom was the last one to be used
before the home was donated to the historical
society.
The wallpaper is also original and was hand stamped
and cut.
I apologize for the quality of my pics but no flash was
used on a dull day with no time to waste.
The dining room.
We really enjoyed the tour and hope you enjoyed
a quick peak as well at this beautiful Greek Revival
home built in 1853.
You might notice the tea table set up on the porch
that I shared earlier this week .
Thank you for your visit!

What an amazing home, Carolyn. I can just imagine walking through those rooms picturing women in big skirts sweeping through the hallways with Christmas decor in their hands. :) Loved this tour! And I love Kennebunkport. Amazing town!

Oh my GOSH, Carolyn. I LOVED that tour. Loved it. So happy you got to go. Susan
Grande home and the tree decorated in purple is my favorite. I want to decorate mine in purple next year after seeing how beautiful this one looks.
It looks like the dining room also doubles as a library? Fine room. Thank you for sharing your tour.

This is a gorgeous home to see. Some of the furnishings remind me of my grandmother's home in Moncton, now long gone. Thanks for sharing the tour.
