i've been following the restoration
in Fisher Park,
just north of downtown
Greensboro.
~ ~ ~
originally built for the Julian Price family,
it fell into disrepair with the second owner
& was topic of the Hoarder's tv show
prior to its renewal over the past year.
~ ~ ~
so, i couldn't wait
once the designers opened it up
(but before the actual owners move in).
~ ~ ~
i found the perfect person
to tour with me...
my very own palindrome, MOM :)

 |
| the only photo evidence that we were there ~ in the Library's bathroom |
it was all eye-catching
& some was downright tasty.
~ ~ ~
here are some snippets
that i found
the most so.

 |
| reflections & light in the foyer |
i spy
an elevator!
~ ~ ~
 |
| alas, it appears to be non-operational & serving time as a location for checking your level of inebriation instead |
more reflections, light,
& a glimpse of the repaired living room ceiling

while, below, the details of the original fireplace surround
~ ~ ~
really enjoy the arcs of this chandelier

thought it sweet
that the designer snugged
the beds
for the twin girls
who will call this home
~ ~ ~
 |
| preppy heaven |
light & reflections in the girls' playroom
~ ~ ~
 |
| fairy tales on the closet |
there were a number of
cedar closets
~ ~ ~
this was one
~ ~ ~
 |
| filtered light along the western hallway, behind the girls' rooms |
love the earthy textures
of this house
~ ~ ~
my most favorite room in the house
~ ~ ~
i do so like a nest

| swoop of the roof |

| approaching (or leaving) from the northwest corner of the grounds |
so many gorgeous angles & texture

| the front door of Hillside |
~ thank you, people who preserve! ~
