THE FAIRFAX HOUSE


I know I said I would post about the shower next week and I will, but today I went to the Fairfax House to look around and see where we would set up and I just had to share these pictures of the place with you.  It is beautiful and today is a beautiful day.

This is just one of the lovely plantation homes here in Franklin.  It is now a bed and breakfast. 
If you click on the name below, it will bring you to their website.  There you find everything you need to know about it.  



This is a parlor just off the foyer.


This is a living area just off the parlor.  



This is the bar area.



Love, love this back door and windows going to back porch.


This is the foyer in the front of the house.


Stairs.


This is the view looking off of the balcony upstairs facing Main Street, beyond that is Bayou Teche.  Just breathtaking.



This is one of the stately columns on the porch upstairs.



This is an antique baby walker.  Had to share, it is so unusual.


This is the door leading to the front porch upstairs.



This is behind the bar.  Love the chicken wire on the cabinet doors and the mirror on the wall inside the cabinets.

It's beautiful. However, I'm pretty sure your own home will be prettier. I am really enjoying the progress.
