ENTRY

THE FRONT HALL

the simple ceiling fresco wraps down onto the wall

simple construction for these bamboo doors

THE LIVING ROOM

looking from entry hall into the living room

the way her figure interacts with the door frame!!!

a "priest of the sun" aka a fishermen of Villefranche

Apollo over the mantle

but... I love these ugly urns

another "priest of the sun"

great vase and black lamp shades

blackamoor

glass beaded fruit with wire stems wrapped on this lamp base

the dissolution of the juncture of the ceiling and the walls with the fresco is nice

THE DINING ROOM

beautiful but i don't know what it is- carpet beater?

Victorian furniture from Sumatra

THE KITCHEN

the kitchen as seen from the front yard

THE STAIR HALL
