You know, I've looked at all the nooks and crannies making sure I didn't miss any DoDads and in 3 years I've never seen a speck of dust.
Dee runs the Urban Wildlife Rescue and her vintage clothing business as well as a reasonable social life. Keeping this place clean PLUS hauling out and putting up all those decorations is all mind boggling to me. I honestly don't know how she does it.

BTW, does anyone play the piano? It wouldn't be an old-timey Christmas without singing around the piano.

At least one of the three pianos (on the first floor) will play itself. But who the hell wants to sing when they can be stuffing their face with home made chocolate truffles?

I'm having a minor fit over the old furniture. Is it original? How did they keep it in such great condition? I started watching those antique appraisal shows on TV and gained yet another addiction: wishing I knew stuff about old stuff. The furniture always fascinates me the most. That, and the old books, of which I noticed a couple sitting on those tables.

Yeah, the furniture is old, but some reupholstery with repro fabrics. The wallpaper is repro too. How they keep it nice...or clean is a mystery.

Heh heh heh. I thought the same thing. It's a little "busy" for my taste. And I am still frightened of the child, although she seems to have lightened up a bit in the second photo. Very cool house though!
