The "Original" Lamp


This light originally hung in the foyer. It had been wired for electricity, but we wanted to return it to an oil burning hanging lamp. So I took it to a restorationist in Nashville, TN who specializes in restoring lights. It now hangs in the Dining Room and is a decorative piece. It is dated somewhere between 1860 and 1880.

Ms. Charlotte's Salt Cellars


Andy has a client in the north east, and Charlotte, the client's mom, who I think is in her 80's very generously sent us a part of her Salt Cellar collection. They are such beautiful and delicate things and each one is truly a work of art. One would have been placed at each diner's place, would have had a tiny spoon,like one you see here and would have been used to personally spoon onto one's food, salt. These are late 19th century and early 20th century pieces, and will have pride of place in, of course, our Dining Room. Thank you, Ms. Charlotte!!

Christmas At LFF





Andy in the Dining Room before Christmas 2009 says good-bye, the mantles in the Master Bed Room and the Living Room.
