It was the perfect spot to view everything going on down on the main lawn. ps -You have a great blog My college dorm was Tudor Revival and I was lucky enough my freshman year to have the room over the front entrance, with a carved bay window and a window seat.

The house was built in th early 30s. A great idea to be able to clean the ceiling, but it was a not particularly pleasant shade of green and I am sure whoever bought the house removed it long ago.

And, I even would have been a nice enough new friend to tell you that you had a chunk of chocolate on your leg! That is hilarious! Can't wait to see the biggest and grandest tomorrow!

I think I remember a tiled ceiling in it. If no in the kitchen try the indoor pool room. Try looking for pictures of biltmore house in asheville. I think I remember a tiled ceiling in it.

The kitchen was really small and pretty much as it was originally, although they squeezed a refrigerator in there and added a ceiling fan (which frankly looked ridiculous with the subway-tiled ceiling). The Cantaloupe King was all about refrigeration, so he had an entire refrigerated room like you might find in a restaurant or grocery store where they stored their food. Somewhere along the line the walk-in ice-box was converted into a breakfast room with a built-in banquette. Has anyone ever had a kitchen with a tiled ceiling like that? Or even seen one? I would love to track down a photo of an old kitchen similar to this one if not the actual one. I will, Steve!
