God bless them. What a truly wonderful house, beautifully and personally done. All those artisans and craftsmen they have supported along the way, the resulting visual gift to their community of such a beautiful house! It’s just the gift that keeps on giving. And now the house has a far greater historical value than it had before. What a great story.
I saw this in Veranda, loved what I saw there , but this was article was more more up close and personal. What struck me is we see the finished wonderful results and turn the page to next . Wait, folks, this labor of love was on going for TWO AND HALF YEARS! I get impatient with my decorating and projects in my home without dismantling it. I appreciate how they group their ‘loves’ together, whether it be candlesticks, blue and white or majolica. Well done. Now go sit on the wicker chairs and enjoy the summer view!
Right around the corner from our summerhome – we have been summering in Chester for 35 years! I knew Olaf Rasmussen well – he would be happy someone bought his home and lovingly restored it.
Our renewable resources include homes. Developers are too short sighted as are municipalities, to demolish homes and build modern boxes. There is so much beauty in old homes and if they still have good bones, invest in restoration.

Thank you, Chintz! A good preservation story always warms my heart, as do fellow lovers of antiques! 🙂

Every room exudes history and charm. Well done!
So charming! What a lovely home!
This home is absolutely lovely, and every single thing is my taste.Perhaps in my next life I will find a cottage and redo it.
