Royal Rugs

Generically called a Latrobe stove. This one made by Sexton in Baltimore . 1897. My parlor.

We've picked up a project house...my mother in law passed @ 97 years young last year and we inherited her house.
Most of it dates back to the 1600's...it was 3 row-houses she combined into a single home back in the 70's. Located in East Anglia, UK. She added some onto the back...and it is a charming place with lots of character. It used to be thatched when she bought it...wish it still was sometimes...love the look of them, but @ current prices of $1k per 9 sq meters it would cost a fortune to put back.
While we are waiting on the probate to complete...we are starting on some general renovations like cleaning, paint and replacing the 40 year old carpets and some flooring.
I've got a stack of photos to scan of the place during renovation and even found a historic photo from the late 1800's showing the house. When we get back home to the states I'll scan them and post them up.
Edit: LOTS of progress on the house. The new addition is getting closer to being finished, and blowing the back wall out of the old dining room has really opened up the center of the house for a combined kitchen/dining room. Heading back next month to look at the progress in person and meet with the kitchen designer.
The old girl is looking quite stunning...
