A few days ago I decided to take some photos of my friend Colleens home. Her home is so much a part of her and the way she is that it is very hard to describe and fascinating to look at. Unfortunately my batteries ran down before I was finished shooting pictures. My first plan was to pick out a couple of pictures to show you but I could not decide which ones to use so you are going to see all I have taken thus far.
Caught her by surprise. She is painting the dark green trim on her garage.
Pergola with Virginia Creeper curtain
View from her pergola looking at the back of her house through the Virginia creeper curtain
Looking to the east from inside the pergola
Colleen's house used to be a country school before being brought to town for its second life. I took this shot standing inside her front door. The room seen in the far right of this shot is the kitchen.
Living Room
More living room. There are a few items considered necessities to some that are conspicuously missing from her house. They are a TV, dishwasher and microwave. She does not miss them. Oh yes, also no air conditioner. Hey folks, we lived through the 50's without AC!
The mirror is part of an old dresser. Using things unexpectedly is a trademark for her.
This is her kitchen
Colleen's kitchen and bathroom floors are a very unique feature. When they moved into this tiny house in Jefferson they were looking at it as a summer only house. And perhaps that had something to do with the freedom used in Colleen's decorating ideas. Personally I think not. The kitchen floor was in bad shape so Colleen painted, adorned it with her own artistic endeavors and then sealed it with resin.
Don't you love the old phone niches?
This is what greets guests as they go out the back door.
