It's really nice that I'm finally getting to use some of the things that I have been collecting for years that have been stored away. I tried to put a taller statue here, but when they are taller the bottoms are to wide to fit, and then I put a smaller statue and it just didn't look right with the smaller statue so I added the picture above her. I would love to hear you opinion, do you think I should just have a larger picture here and no statue or leave it as is.
My husband would complain occasionally about me having collected so much stuff over the years, but know I think he's quite happy that I had so that he didn't have to buy much at all for the new place. I love vintage pictures, and especially of beautiful ladies or cherubs. So I did a wall of picture.
Another love of mine is lady statues, and as you will see in another photo cherub statues also.
This is the entrance way. This is what made me fall in love with this house!
I'm not quite finished with this wall, but have started a wall of frames! I'm thinking of maybe putting a little iron bench at the bottom to cover up the electric outlet, I can't stand for the outlets to show.
Sorry for the photo, it didn't turn out very well. I've been having a lot of trouble with my camera lately. I have stored this mantel for years. This mantel came from the Sorina building in downtown Waco. When I first saw it I inquired about it and the owner said when she found something to replace it with she would sell it to me, well I waited years to get it. Finally one day she called and ask if I still wanted it and of course I was thrilled to get it, then it was in my storage for years, so now I'm so happy to be able to use it. I was afraid it wasn't going to fit where I wanted to put it..... but it fit perfectly, it was meant to be!
This is the living area looking into the entrance way!
I'll be taking more pictures soon. I'm having drapes made now and can't wait to get them back. To me drapes just make a room. Hope everyone has a great week!!!Hugs~~~ Daphne

Daphene , I think you should leave your nook as it it. I like the picture above the statue.

Well, it's absolutely gorgeous, Daphne! I can see why you fell in love with that entry foyer. Downsizing provided me with plenty of extra accessories ~ in fact, I gave some to my daughter to use at her house! As a suggestion, I might move the statue off to one side on an angle so you can see the whole picture and maybe bring in a plant like an ivy or something with hanging leaves for the opposite side.
Hey Kathy, thanks so much for the ideal, I will have to try that!
Hugs~~ Daphne
Oh Daphne that fireplace is killer!! Love it! And how about one lady in each corner of the niche and a trailing ivy (Maybe in a french jardiniere? *winks*) in between? I love those lady statues too! Your new place is stunning my friend. I would've wanted that fab entry in a New York minute too *winks* Vanna
What a gorgeous place Daphne!!! Love that nook...so romantic!!!

Looking great! I absolutely love your wall of frames. I have a few empty frames hanging in my bedroom. I've never thought to hang a frame inside of a frame. Lovely!
OMG such a beautiful house and the entrance is just GORGEOUS! :3 so jealous, wish I had my own lovely mansion^^!
Hi Daphne,
I just love your beautiful home and I wouldn't change a thing. I think the picture and the statue are perfect in that little nook. The entryway to your home is so pretty.

I love your decor here! Everything is so beautiful! Again, lovely home!
Hugs,
It's all so beautiful! I know what you mean by stashing things away, it does come in handy! I would move the statue to either side, it may compliment the picture better, just an idea to try!
Yours roooms are so beautiful! What a thrill it must be for you to have your beautiful things out of storage! Your mantel is spectacular!
That entryway would make anyone fall in love with that house! Wow! Love it!

WOW!!! What a Beautiful Home?!! I am out of the loop Daphne, is this your new home? It is so gorgeous and you don't have to change anything. Your collected pieces are just perfect. I have collected Decor. also and my husband would get mad, now that we live in a new home here in Texas, it all fits. Miss you and hope we reconnect again. I updated a few posts myself. Hope you swing by. You are always inspirational to me friend. Hugs, Nene
What a beautiful house! I love it! Your lady statues are wonderful. I love the statue in the niche - the only thing I might do is have a landscape behind instead of another lady - they are both so beautiful they detract from one another just a bit. Now I want lady statues! Oh well, terrace, then replacement windows, then tile for the foyer, THEN maybe a lady statue.
Daphne, the lake house is just gorgeous! I love what you've done so far. That wall of frames is just perfect, I might have to steal that one! I even have a little iron bench.
Keep creating and inspiring!
Big hugs,
Patti
Your home is stunning... welcome back we missed you!! hugs!
What a beautiful house!! I see why you love that entry way--I love the windows and tall ceilings!
I also seem to gravitate towards pictures of women and women statues. They are just so feminine and fit my style as well.
Your collections are beautiful and that mantle is a show stopper!
