MacKenzie-Childs Farmhouse

One of the highlights of going to the MacKenzie-Childs store in Aurora, NY is touring the farmhouse. It was decorated in the last 10 years or so by Pleasant Rowland, prior owner of M-C (currently owned by Twin Lakes Capital) and was to be used as a guest house for executives visiting the plant.

The front of the farmhouse faces Cayuga Lake:

The living room has a lovely fireplace:

The dining room displays many of the dishes and a grand chandelier. It is so gorgeous during the Christmas Holidays!

The Breakfast Room is just a beautiful, the chandelier is a teapot and tea cups!:

All the new floral enamelware was on sale during the Barn Sale:

This is one of my favorite pieces in the courtly checks:

And I WANT this table (but I will have to paint it myself because it is too, too expensive):

The bedrooms are quite exquisite...can you see the roosters on top of the bedposts?

A quiet place to write :

And a sweet place to read (I want that lamp, too):

And this is the "piece de resistance", a WHOLE room painted in courtly checks:

And in the same room there are doors painted in a faux marble - can you guess what is behind this door?

This fabulous shower with stunning tiles:

"Fingers" dipped in yellow paint were used to paint this room - this pattern is now retired:

And they didn't leave out the balusters:

Another room overlooks the lake and is used as an office:

Doesn't it make you want to visit? A while back I showed a photo of the pink kitchen. Stop by tomorrow to see a few great chandeliers displayed in the M-C store
