magicalandsomeweirdhometours:Some pics of Dunford House in West Sussex, an 1852 Victorian villa in the South East of England. The home had been gifted to the local YMCA in 1952 and the plans they submitted were rejected as being “harmful.” I’m glad they allow it to be ruined.Love these hanging dried plants in the entrance.Love the walls and all the patina in this home. Notice how they simply painted the floors black. Peeking into the rooms, this home is so incredible. The walls are very skillfully faux finished to look worn. The conservatory and greenhouse are spectacular.Stained floor? Don’t care. And, it’s such an elegant home.Now, the home starts to get moody. Still black floors, but painted walls and a darker look.Closeup up the wall- looks like it was done with a pallet knife.And, when you get to the bar, the whole room is black with lovely pink velvet vintage chairs. The kitchen is modernized.The grounds are weathered, too.And, they’ve got a little hot tub, running on a wood or coal stove going, too. https://www.desiretoinspire.net/category/black/page/2/ -- source link
