A Seventeenth-Century English Manor

Going on Day 2 of being snowed-in and I'm reminded why I put so much effort into making my home comfy and cozy.  I don't mind being snowed-in for a couple of days.  Edward hates clothes so leaving the house on a normal day is quite the task.  Usually, by the time I get him dressed I need a nap (and maybe a drink).  He's a home-body like me so he's happy to play with his toys and make forts (or "nests" as he calls them).  And I like to grab a snack and watch him play.  Snow days = eating days. <br /><br />I had a moment this morning to flip through my new Jan/Feb 2014 <a href="http://www.theenglishhome.co.uk/home">The English Home</a>, and I found a place I wouldn't mind lounging around on a snow day.  Naturally, it's a beautiful English Manor because I have to be all high-maintenance.  This pretty house known as Cornwell Manor has been home to the same family for the past 60 years.  How fun would it be to live in your childhood home (especially if it's a manor)?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

And the chintz in the red room?  I'm pretty sure my best friend's mom had that chintz on her sofas in their library.  I spent a few Texas snow days drinking Dr. Pepper, eating goldfish and watching Saved By The Bell on those sofas.  I'm amazed she didn't make us sit on a blanket or plastic wrap! <br /><br />The blue and white kitchen is adorable, too.  I love how the interiors in this magazine, while beautiful, are accessible.  Like you can picture yourself standing in even the fanciest room.  Natural wrinkles in a fabric cushion or pillow are not steam-ironed into oblivion.  That's what I want my house to feel like: pretty not precious. <br /><br />

More Pretties from The English Home!

Helloo Y'all! As promised, I'm finally bringing you some more pretties from the long lost (May/June 2013) issue of The English Home, which I found whilst <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-english-home.html">cleaning out my kitchen hutch</a>.  (Note: no other cleaning has taken place since that epic purge.  wamp wump.)<br /><br />*Yes, I shamelessly took photos of the pages with my iPhone because my scanner makes everything look like it's from 1982.  I suggest if you like what you see, get a subscription to <a href="http://www.theenglishhome.co.uk/home">The English Home here</a> for much better images :)  Also these photos are not all from the same house.  <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKURU3OnRByy0YIjNPe4LMyhEcmOp2wE64Sc2a1KpdDG_dVbrf2V6JUPsGO2AQVL1Olxs2b0zeZDyEY5X-261TPxfPPR39Y-wXUlPlasAAtd3lMxEQc5LmvIub-tvx-Fnb39WbKu7Qi54/s1600/IMG_9456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKURU3OnRByy0YIjNPe4LMyhEcmOp2wE64Sc2a1KpdDG_dVbrf2V6JUPsGO2AQVL1Olxs2b0zeZDyEY5X-261TPxfPPR39Y-wXUlPlasAAtd3lMxEQc5LmvIub-tvx-Fnb39WbKu7Qi54/s1600/IMG_9456.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />I'm currently obsessed with large roll-arm sofas like striped the one above.  I love a sofa that demands one curl up on it rather than sit.  I'm trying to find one for my library that's not too pricey, since we just bought a new sofa for the family room.  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi839l4MFu7D6Z4rOqLPOVhkW4TYXxDNApBw0dbCNkpRvI9mF-cXxB1xLEwYvQVMHWUjOGGFDOOu_QP1sQ-XoslIlAGQP9lkSNGMItEAiLUiFKRqel36XLJ8K8pUldrrAOOFAKI9svliY8/s1600/IMG_9461.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi839l4MFu7D6Z4rOqLPOVhkW4TYXxDNApBw0dbCNkpRvI9mF-cXxB1xLEwYvQVMHWUjOGGFDOOu_QP1sQ-XoslIlAGQP9lkSNGMItEAiLUiFKRqel36XLJ8K8pUldrrAOOFAKI9svliY8/s1600/IMG_9461.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNh6sDHudyQ7QLkqMIEkflrF43LkBKBN0qHZvMTib8uPjuGMRH9bZS_nZhQUJSmbc2AUDhbZSPh3srfc4zfjT0qXfG8Hs4xkTa61x6lyMOIw68fCl9t_RB5AiyyLM46HH6Jkc3IDQK1OU/s1600/IMG_9462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNh6sDHudyQ7QLkqMIEkflrF43LkBKBN0qHZvMTib8uPjuGMRH9bZS_nZhQUJSmbc2AUDhbZSPh3srfc4zfjT0qXfG8Hs4xkTa61x6lyMOIw68fCl9t_RB5AiyyLM46HH6Jkc3IDQK1OU/s1600/IMG_9462.jpg" width="462" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The bedroom above is so pretty to me.  I love how the mahogany writing desk is the star.  According to the magazine, the walls are painted <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/clunch/colours/farrow-ball/fcp-product/102009">Farrow & Ball Clunch</a>, which my friend over at <a href="http://www.thingsthatinspire.net/2012/09/the-chandelier-dilemmawould-love-your.html">Things That Inspire</a> suggested I try for the dining room.  The way it looks with that desk may have me ordering another sample.   </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The rest is all from the same house. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh heyy dream house!
