You would expect this house to be in France...but no, it is in Tooting in the UK. The house is 'Elmbourne' and I am smitten with it. I thought I would take you for a look.
All through the house are these glorious French doors, which tease you into the next room. Like this view of the living room with its marble and cast iron fireplace. The parquet floors are beautiful and they are shown so well by the white interior.
I love the palette here of white, creams, bisque, grey and hints of green. The mouldings, cornices and architraves are just lovely. My Mum has one of those coffee tables...except Mum's was $10!!

Oh, bliss! Every detail of this place is divine. Every outlook from each room is just as beautiful as the last. I could just wander aimlessly around here for days and not get fed up. The Armoire is a nice touch to this library.
The dining would be a stunning lit by candlelight. I would have to add a huge clear glass chandelier though and some wall sconces...maybe a Aubusson rug under the table...and some fresh greenery in a big vase.

Another view of the dining room. I love the thought of the French doors everywhere. In a country like the UK, every ounce of light would matter and having no heavy doors to shut of natural light is a great way to keep the house looking open and airy...even in the depths of Winter.
The master bedroom is so peaceful, and pretty. I love the white floors, what a great idea...hehe! I must admit, putting the white painted floors in our own bedroom was the best weekend I have spent painting...ever!
Don't faint on me but...this is the dressing room just off the master!!! I know, you should see the shoe storage! Couldn't you imagine throwing open those beautiful doors open and seeing everything at a glance? This reminds me a little of Carrie from SITC's walk in that Mr Big made for her.
Another room...just as pretty with a little reading nook nestled under the eaves.
There are obviously lots of Women who live here. this is what I would imagine a little girls room to look like...all white and cream with hits of pink scattered here and there.
Last, but not least, the bathroom. I just think this is perfect. It is about the size of our bathroom and I have earmarked this for our file. I love the suspended sink under that superb mirror, the little make up area and of course the tub...just heaven.
I hope you enjoyed the little tour and your Easter. Ness xx
