One of the things i forget to do when looking at old houses / mansions, is to look at the ceilings. There is just as much detail in the ceilings as there is with the walls and moulding. The picture above is the ceiling in the sun room. Imagine eating breakfast in this room with the morning light shining in. I bet at night it looks equally interesting.
I thought this was a rather nice detail in the hallway's ceiling.
With a light, it makes it even more interesting. When i looked up at this light, i was taken back to the days of when i went to church at Victory Memorial Lutheran church. That church had lights very similar to this.
Yes, I know, this is not a ceiling. This is a window above the door leading into the sun room. You can just barely see the pattern of the domed ceiling through the window. Also pictured is a side view of the light that was shown in the previous picture. Can you imagine?? I understand that there are details like this in old business buildings, but to have this in your house? I don't think modern mansions come close to details like this in their house. No, not in the same design, but just a modern twist to how these details could be incorporated into a modern mansion. Just sayin' that a fancy swimming pool is really kind of... not so fancy when it comes to having a "fancy" home.
