It's all in the details

It's been a relatively quiet week for us.  Lulu caught a cold over the weekend and she has been sleeping it off.  These marathon naps have given me plenty of time to explore every corner of our apartment and I've been reminded that there's something about the original detailing in an old house that makes it feel extra special.  They don't make houses like they used to ... maybe that's a good thing, but the original moldings sure are pretty to look at!

I would love to know what these houses looked like and how they were decorated when they were first built!  Here are a couple details in our current place. 

Our house has been divided, but this would have been the entrance way from the
foyer into the rest of the house ... there's one on either side

One of these in each bedroom ... if only there were chandeliers to complete the look!

I know, I know, this isn't original detailing but I still love the way it looks.

It's textured, too! 

And today is another special day because it's Uncle Niko's birthday!  We hope you have a wonderful day, Gëzuar Ditëlindjen!
