Entry @ Brabourne Farm






Another part of the house finally finished!  The entry design caused a lot of angst between the architect and me as he felt the area was too large and a waste of space - I held my ground and am so glad that I did as it has become like an extra living area and helps to balance the house.




Now some answers to some of your questions:-

Fireplaces - both the fireplaces (dining/living room and study) are full masonry with no firebox inserts.  They have identical french reproduction mantelpieces sourced from Architectural Heritage (sadly no longer in business).  They are truly one of my favourite things in the house!

Dining/Living Room Cupboard - this cupboard was built for us by the same cabinetmaker who did the kitchen, study, bathrooms, laundry, wardrobes .... just love everything that he does and it's such fun designing things with him!

Living/Dining Room @ Brabourne Farm












It's taken a while but the living/dining room @ Brabourne Farm is nearly finishes - just a few more little details and it's done!

Before and After @ Brabourne Farm






Just finished!  A coat of black paint, silver spray on the handles .... this old chest of drawers has been given a new lease of life in the entry at Brabourne Farm.

Before and After @ Brabourne Farm








Finally back from the upholsterer, this old 1820s couch has been recovered in Belgian linen - it's in the entry @ Brabourne Farm.  Such a nice change from the calico and green velvet!

Autumn Weekend @ Brabourne Farm








Tea by the fire, a wander around the garden and a little pottering in the glasshouse - bliss on a cold, wet afternoon!
