With a color scheme of eggnog, cinnamon and nutmeg, this house is definitely a Virgo!

I haven't done a lot of landscaping yet because I plan on adding features such as a fountain. benches, statues, etc. So the grass and hedge are the only landscaping till those treasures find their way to me.

I did a great deal of bashing on the bay windows to add stained glass transoms. I also added window seats which you'll see when we go inside.

The topiaries are probably one of my very favorite thing about the house. These wonderful creations are made by Shelly of Enchanted Florals. You can find her store at http://stores.ebay.com/Enchanted-Florals-by-Shelly

Again, you can see the bay windows have been bashed on this side as well.

With a little more bashing on the kitchen bay windows.

I love rooms that are filled with plants and the dormer windows in this room are prefect for snuggling small plants. The statue of Shiva fits into the positive energy quite well

One of my passions in real life is collecting Tibetan temple artifacts. I had a few in mini already so this room is well on it's way to being completed. That's a temple bell hanging in the tower. The parquet floor is designed by a tibetan diagram representing architectural harmony with the elements.

In additon to being a world traveler, the resident of the BH is also an artist. This room will be her studio.

At this point, this room hasn't told me what it's purpose will be. It keeps telling me it's a secret but I'm not sure if the secret is what the room will hold, or if the room will hold a secret.

I bashed this room quite a bit too. Those familiar with the BH will notice that there are no stairs in this house. I opt for the "fourth wall" theory and the stairs are in the part of the house you can't see. I was willing to sacrifice the staircases to open up more room in the house. The bedroom is HUGE now.

You can also see the parquet flooring a little better in this pictures. The floor is made from Greenleaf birch tiles.

I'm thinking this room is going to need a Reuter's aga stove.

I love this room! The table and chairs are asian design with mother of pearl inlay. The wonderful bonsai tree is another creation of Shelly of Enchanted Florals

I love built in window seats and indulged myself by building them in to both bays.
