Wow! That gate. 

I don't really get the point of it but it's beautiful. 

I have been thinking of smaller versions of this to keep the weenies confined. 

Prettier than a baby gate.

Back balcony. 

Yes, I'd like to add one of those to my own house but then I'd have to add an upstairs too.

Fabulous bathroom. Check!

Cute, vintage tile bathroom. Double check! 

Although it needs accessorizing badly.

This darling tudor cottage is all pretty and clean. 

It just needs better decor.

If it were mine...

I'd tackle that fireplace first and remove the white paint to reveal what appears to be vintage tile. 

I love white paint but not over vintage tile, thank you.

I love this charming little area. 

It's definitely not living up to its full potential yet.

Cosy living room with original Batchelder fireplace.

I'd get rid of the ceiling fan and hang a chandelier the day I closed on this house,

 if I bought it.

This kitchen would do me just fine.

This one is badly in need of love. Just someone to take care of it and bring it back to life.

This one is a fixer upper. 

This is by far the best room. 

But look at the garden out the backdoor!

And Lastly, This one is not a tudor but dates from the same era. 

It's Mediterranean in style. Too cute not to show.

Nice living room with lots of potential. 

Huge monster in the room has too go. 

No giant TVs allowed to ruin a pretty room. 

I like the sofa and chairs in this room but it needs different curtains and get rid of those shelves. 

New rugs needed. But love that window. 

See it looks inside just like a tudor.

Another view of the living room. I hate the burgundy walls..I'd paint those immediately. 

And that fireplace has great potential. 

Normally, I wouldn't change a vintage fireplace but this one needs a heavier mantel piece. 

I'd have a heavier wood one built to slip over the top of the existing mantel. 

Just the top part to make it more substantial. One that could always be removed if need be. 

Remember the oath in Historic Living....

First Do No Harm!

And this is why I really had to show this home....

ta da!

This bathroom of course!
