DeleteRather charming.
ReplyDeleteIn its way.
DeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of old and new; it works at the barn.
DeleteI'd love something like that , and I have the corner for it

DeleteThe whole scene is lovely and the sconce is perfect there.

DeleteIt was hard to see it properly in your previous photo, but it looks great in situ on the wall.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you must have one special winter night with the fire lit and candles alight.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll have its moment; I'll need to make some drip trays.
DeleteThat's lovely, it looks like it just belongs there.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought; just the right size, etc.
Deleteexactly. just the right thing
DeleteA good looking corner! And that's some fine rendering you have there.
