You obviously are an aficionada of the group...I know exactly which bedroom you're talking about, and I love it too. I must look in my books on Dora Carrington and see if there's a photo of the trompe l'oeil book fresco you mention as it doesn't ring a bell at the moment. And yes, Deborah Bowness' work is incredible, isn't it? xxLisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-11683366043173105972009-08-24T00:33:02.685-07:002009-08-24T00:33:02.685-07:00Hey Lisa,

I love Charleston too, particularly the bedroom with the bath (I think it's Vanessa's). I want one just like it. I adore the Deborah Bowness wallpaper in your dining room. It reminds me of Carrington's trompe l'oeil of the books at Ham Spray :)bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026165363006865042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-17949006729600548582009-08-23T07:21:43.766-07:002009-08-23T07:21:43.766-07:00So wonderful!

I am convinced it's perfect inside as well. I wish we knew someone who could go there and report back to all of us!<br /><br />Pamela Terry and Edward: I completely agree that Edward SO belongs in that thatched house!<br /><br />Pimm's and Lemonade: I know, I about swooned when I read that Sissinghurst was around the corner. I'd be there every day (when I wasn't trying to scale the hedge into the secret garden)!<br /><br />Prairie Girl: I can't believe the price, either. That's why it's made such a dent on my soul, because for that price here in LA, you would get a teeny bit of NOTHING. <br /><br />Jane: Didn't realize it was quite that far. Thought maybe 2 or 2 1/2 hours. But for all you'd save buying a house there rather than in Kent, you're right, you could hire a full-time chauffeur with what's left over...<br /><br />Claire: That book sounds great. I'm going on Amazon right now to check it out. Thank you...it sounds right up my alley. xx<br /><br />Sara: Totally agree. Put me in Chateau Bow wow any day.<br /><br />Simply Mel: I had the SAME idea! 30 bloggers, we each put in 20,000 or so...and we have the perfect time-share vacation home!<br /><br />m: Just looked at Hemingford Grey Manor House...my heart is still pumping madly. What a place! Love the book connection as well. What a find...thank you! xxLisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-3841189324441322262009-08-22T13:30:44.320-07:002009-08-22T13:30:44.320-07:00It's not for sale but have a look at www.green...It's not for sale but have a look at www.greenknowe.co.uk which is absolutely as atmospheric as it looks, is the second oldest (inhabited) house in England and has another children's book connection.

Those Georgians knew a thing or two about that. However without being mean to the north of England, it is in Norfolk (at least 4 hours from London) so hence the great value price.
