A House full of Treasures - Ένα Σπίτι Γεμάτο Θησαυρούς

Sharing is caring!

The other day I had the pleasure to visit a friend of mine who lives in a very old farmhouse.  In fact, she told me some parts of the house are about 250 years old.  And her house is full of rare treasures.  She was kind enough to allow me to photograph these beauties. 

Τις προάλλες είχα την χαρά να επισκεφθώ μια φίλη μου που ζει σε  ένα  πολύ   παλιό αγροτικό σπίτι. Μάλιστα, μου είπε πως κάποια μέρη του σπιτιού είναι περίπου  250 ετών. Και το σπίτι της είναι γεμάτο από σπάνιους θησαυρούς. Είχε την καλοσύνη να μου επιτρέψει να φωτογραφίσω αυτές τις ομορφιές.

I felt like a little  kid in a candy shop.  So much to see…what would I photograph first?  This old copper pot used for holding wood?

Ένιωσα σαν ένα μικρό παιδί μέσα σε ζαχαροπλαστείο. Τόσα πολλά να δω. Τι θα φωτογράφιζα πρώτα;  Αυτό το παλιό χάλκινο σκεύος που κρατάει ξύλα;

The farmhouse is full of rustic beauty. Here is a detail of a door, which is nestled into the wall.. a very thick wall indeed.

Below the  mirror is a marble topped table.  Let’s admire that scrollwork.

The handsewn tapestry has beading, tiny mirrors, crocheting, crewel embroidery… pretty much a feast for the eyes!

When I visited the Christmas tree was still up.  The red ornaments held their own in a room full of treasures.

Όταν επισκέφθηκα το Χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο ήταν ακόμα στολισμένο. Τα κόκκινα στολίδια κάνανε την παρουσία τους αισθητή σε ένα δωμάτιο γεμάτο θησαυρούς.

I hope  you enjoyed viewing this exquisite house full of treasures.  I want to thank my dear friend for  inviting me and allowing me to photograph all of her treasures. Maybe I’ll get lucky and she’ll invite me again to photograph some more of that amazing farmhouse. What was your favorite treasure?

Ελπίζω να σας άρεσε που είδατε αυτό το εξαιρετικό σπίτι γεμάτο θησαυρούς. Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την αγαπητή φίλη μου για την πρόσκληση της και που μου  επετρεψε  να φωτογραφίσω όλους τους θησαυρούς της. Ίσως θα βρεθώ τυχερή και  θα με καλέσει ξανά να φωτογραφίσω περισσότερο από αυτό το εκπληκτικό σπίτι. Ποιος ήταν ο αγαπημένος σας θησαυρός;

This is a beautiful farm house. The painting above the fireplace was amazing. I loved the door and the ceiling!

The painting was a byzantine icon. And the wood gave unbelievable warmth and coziness to the large room.

Mary, what a treat! I'm sure you were pinching yourself the whole time. I would absolutely love to live there, or at least visit it. And I really appreciate that your photos really showed us some of the detail of her furnishings. Have a wonderful Thursday, Lynn

Lynn I was so happy to be there, and the hostess was so gracious. I really zoomed in on the details of the furnishings because you don't see things like that every day. So much to admire.
