As several commenters mentioned in a thread yesterday, this Sunday the 41st Annual Prospect Lefferts Gardens House & Garden Tour will take place. All the details about the tour, which will include eight turn-of-the-century houses, are here. This is the description of one of the houses, though they all sound great: “A 1909 free-standing Colonial Revival, with a charming wraparound porch, showcases a wealth of fabulous original Arts and Crafts details and ornate stained-glass windows. Oriental rugs and period furnishings reinforce the nostalgia of bygone days.” The tour runs from noon to 5 p.m. and costs $20 in advance or $25 on the day.

So true, Mopar. That kind of intense, rich avocado green is one of my favorite colors ever for interior walls. It’s versatile, you can put any color and style furniture and accessories with it and even though it’s intense it doesn’t make a room with dark woodwork too dim and depressing.
Very pretty room! Proof that dark woodwork works best with intense color on the walls.
Prospect Lefferts Gardens Tour was the first house tour we ever went on back in 1990 or so. Found the homes and their eclectic owners enchanting.
No Rob; house tours, or at least OUR house tour, has houses inhabited by REAL people [and PLG isn’t in a desert hell hole, like so much of what’s featured on HGTV].
i always want to go on these house tours, but sometimes tells me i would just get mad envious and cranky, like i do when i watch HGTV.

Holy cow. Rob LIKES something?
The PLG Tour is pretty great, Better Half and I did it last year, and really loved it. There’s a fantastic sense of community, people stopping to chat on the street with neighbors, and the houses were one better than the last. A real treat.
okay, i LOVE that room in the picture!!!
