| Reproduction canvas of Waterhouse's Circe Invidiosa. Karl made the frame, and I spray-painted it gold, and antiqued it with brown shoe polish. |

| The front room now! Note the stained glass window, refinished floors, and wallpaper! The furniture are reproductions, but even the springs are hand-tied, just like old times.The wood on the furniture is hand carved mahagony, and upholstered in silk. The marble statue is "The Bather" by Falconet. This room has been re-painted four times, I really did like the green with the gold glaze, but it was to much of a transition for the eye from the parlour. This silver/blue is easier to look at. Flokati wool rug. |
| The silver service! The table top is carrera marble. |

| The front room as it looked when we purchased the place. The fan was not in a box, the ceiling paper was falling and was painted with lead paint, and the floors were faded. |
| The front room of the Victorian home was typically for the lady of the house. The concept of bay windows came about for the woman to gain a better perspective of who was coming to visit. Today, the front room would house very fine furniture, and guests would not enter unless invited. |

| This is Waterhouse's Hylas and the Water Nymphs. |
