Fieldstone Hill Historic Home Tour

The Entry

Hello strangers.

I have been missing you! How have you been? This decorating momma has been crazy. Crazy busy. Crazy tired. and probably just crazy in general. How is it that I completely forget the time-vortex of a one-and-a-half year old? My decorating efforts these days involve reorganizing, resorting, and half-heartedly trying to shut our plastic kids’ dinnerware drawer. If you see a mom of a little one, please go and hug her and march into her house and send her off to get a pedicure for 2 hours…

Around here, decorating happens slowly. It still definitely happens, because of the joy I take in homemaking. But it is not on the top of our priority list. So, instead, we welcome the joyful process of slow-decorating.

But recently I had a deadline that propelled me into picking up the the toys and school books from every corner, and I cleaned up the entire house! And – perk – I decided it was high time I give you a whole house tour! It has been a very long time since I have properly updated, which is just a party-pooper, because who doesn’t love a good virtual house tour? I hope you will enjoy touring with me! While we have a long way to go, decorating wise, I take great joy in the fact that there are not dust-bunnies and stuff-explosion all over these pics. ha!

Let’s go room by room, week by week. And what better way to start than by inviting you into our entry?

This room is big for an entry, because it used to be a formal parlor in our 1820’s home. This was the formal reception room in the home, which historically would have been filled with the homeowner’s finest furnishings and art; a room for entertaining, hosting family occasions such as weddings, births, and funerals.

For us, it functions as a front hall. There are two entry doors {they are so close that I never know which door people are at when they are knocking!}. And it is also a well-used music room for our musical family. There is always someone playing on that piano around here. Even Georgia Lu. She screeches until someone lifts her up on that bench.

On the future wish list for this room:

Grasscloth walls

Painting the floors. yep.

Baby Grand Piano. This room has been crying for one.

Try to keep my dang house plants alive.

That unpainted stairwell? Gallery wall and grasscloth, baby.
