The Barron
family home that we visited during the past two issues continues to speak of
the elegant comfort and beauty exhibited in the rest of the house. This
remainder of the house, including the master bedroom and bathroom, rear patio,
garden and – last, but not least! -- front entrance, all have the same color
scheme, the same style and shades of wood and fabric. Interestingly, the
onlooker does not miss any of the other colors!
The focal
point of the Master bedroom on the first floor would have to be… the ceiling.
While the walls have a distressed look, the ceiling has been hand painted in
deep green with a geometrical shape. Lamps are ornate, with a traditional look.
Furniture is a solid dark wood. A window seat makes for a cozy reading corner. The
master bathroom echoes the same color and texture concepts in the tub and
cabinetry.
As we are
walking outside, we find ourselves in a covered patio adjacent to an outdoor
spiral wrought-iron staircase. Very comfortably equipped with the necessary
furniture and fixtures, it makes for an inviting look. The patio leads us to a
charming garden.
The garden
presents bursts of color via plantings in the numerous urns dotting the area.
Ornamental cabbages and geraniums are amongst the plants. Benches are
thoughtfully placed in a couple of areas. Finally, we come back around to the
front of the house, finding ourselves admiring the doorway. It is
spectacular….imposing double doors in wood and wrought-iron open to welcome
visitors in the house.
Splendid! It
is now time to exit the Barron’s wonderful home…Next time, do join us to walk
through a collector’s dream home in the Corinthian Bay, Greece! |
