A while back we had a huge old house in Asbury Park. It was way too large for two guys with a cat and we just filled it with things we liked.....we weren't too worried about it being a little fancy for the Jersey Shore as there were quite a few fancier. Here's the Dining Room done up for a showhouse....and yes I did dust the leg..it's a reflection.
The Living Room looking from the Entrance Hall. I had gotten the round table at a thrift store and the silver bowl is actually a deco light fixture.
Our 'Saddam Hussein' room....it was during the Gulf War...#1 and we had an extra room that we never used so I went to Marshals and got remainder wallpaper...DIY and for $10!!!!!! yes you read right TEN dollars, excluding labor [ME] we had this nifty room....Ric hated it but our cat Sebastian was always napping there. The daybed is from Simon Ross and we had a coverlet that a client gave me back so we used that as upholstery....I think it was Clarence House.
This was our bathroom. I found the Directoire screen with my friend Vic during one of our recon missions to the various thrift stores and the chair and dressers, one of which we made into a sink came from one of the houses nearby that was being sold....the huge mirror came from the now defunct Asbury Park Auction House......you could find great stuff back then.
