Saturday, October 17, South End House Tour

What a great day we had! Katie, Liz, and Carol saw 6 homes on the South End Historical Society annual South End house tour. For some reason, we were surprised that all the homes felt, well, old, including original (dark) woodwork, original (beat up and refinished) floors, antique furniture and lots of color on the walls, including wallpaper. I don't know why, but we were hoping to see some contemporary renovations, which I'm sure, would have horrified the Society, and of course that's why none of these sorts of homes was included! We also went to a Sotheby's open house in the neighborhood, and had a fabulous lunch at Stephi's on Tremont. Our resident photographer could not attend, and sadly, the only photo we have is of this teeny-tiny sink, which you can't tell from the pic, but really has a diameter of 8", yes, I said 8 inches! Favorite idea - media room right off the kitchen.
