The gentleman and I passed a quiet Labor Day weekend at home, working on odds and ends. Feeling a bit of cabin fever however, we decided to hop in the car on sunday afternoon and drive to Gunston Hall. It was not my first trip. . . but we were both eager to see the progress of recent restorations. And the house did not disappoint. Dressed in fresh paints, damask and gilt, the interior is now a feast for the eyes ~ scarlet reds, sunny yellows, and dramatic verdigris greens. It was just the shot of inspiration we need!And so now, onward to autumn. . . .
Hope you are well.
Friends on the east coast, be safe in these terrible rains.

A wonderful house/site -- so glad you enjoyed it.
Hopping over to see if the verdigris is visible on Gunston's site. You know how I love it, as well as the yellows :)
Ah, the emerald chamber is fabulous! Love the ochre yellow Chinese room, too.
Texted you today. Did not receive a response. Feared you had been washed away. So glad that is not the case. I just love the hallway at Gunston and how it walks right out to the center of the garden and if you keep walking, you fall in the river. Nicely done.
lovely ~ happy friday!
love the symmetry in this shot Janet! perfectly centered road with the blurd trees... well done!
