Yesterday I went to St. Louis,
Missouri to the Lafayette
Park area to visit their
Holiday Parlor Tour!
My friends and I had
a great time even though
it was cold. We walked
a lot visiting 10 homes
that were on the tour:
This home below is for sale
if you are interested: $899,900.
It was not on the tour.
We were glad we all had coats on
because it was chilly.
We picked up our tickets
at the garden house in the
central park area:
The trolley was available to
ride to different designations too:
Mostly, we walked and
were quite tired by the end.
This was a business on a nearby
side street:
There were row houses and free standing mansions:
I am quite captivated
with all the tall doors:
This was a lovely parlor:
This was a favorite staircase:
This will be a last photo for today
but more to follow:
What a wonderful tour you took! Love the mantle with the birds...so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThese old homes are fabulous! I just love touring old homes, especially when they're decorated for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved that home tour! I took close looks at those beautiful rooms. I wish the inner shutters were still an option with new windows. They are so handy and simply fold up tidily into the wings as it were. I’ll be back to see the rest of your photos for sure. Hope you gals found lots of inspiration and a pot of tea and some goodies somewhere.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day it was even though it was cold and I was worn out after walking 3.9 miles I enjoyed every step
The houses were very entertaining to go through and for my imagination of living in one and my blog friends up the street in another house LOL
Loved that park where we got our tickets, It's such a Victorian 1800 looking area which is so charming
Thanks for all the delightful pictures for other to admire
So much charm...
ReplyDeleteThe photos turned out great Bernideen, you are such a talented photographer! It was such fun going inside these homes with you two lovely gals!! Sorry about all the walking!

What beautiful homes! You are fortunate to enjoy all of these outings with friends. I loved the little birdie wearing the crown. The staircase was beautiful and the decoration of it so simple yet tasteful. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day, Bernideen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home tour. I would love living in one of the houses there.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pics!Such fun!
ReplyDeleteThis would have been my cup of tea if I were in the area at the time of the tour. LOVELY is right. What a delight this would be to see in person.
