TOURING THE ELGIN/COTTRELL HOUSE IN CLARKSVILLE, MISSOURI

Yesterday I went along with two other

bloggers (Gina and Janice) to take a

tour of the Elgin/Cottrell House on the

the Mississippi River town of Clarksville.

Every room in the house was vibrant in color and

held mostly authentic Victorian interiors.  These

were just a few of the wonderful chandeliers:

 These are pictures of Janice, Richard Cottrell, 

the home owner

with his dog Buddy and Gina.

  I caught Gina

enjoying a chocolate Richard put

out for us to enjoy!

The accessories in this house were amazing:

  Richard made the Victorian Style Paper ornaments on this tree:

He designed and made this needlepoint

mantle scarf after finding a piece of an

actual Victorian one which inspired him:

Richard made the large center house

 as a replicate 

of his home

and others are Bethany Lowe.

Now (below) in the kitchen - what a lovely window!

The kitchen was cozy and warm:

And in the pantry off the kitchen:

And now to the entrance foyer of the home:

I loved this shelf with lovely vases in the upstairs bathroom:
