I have been trying to get out and about to explore the area I live in here in Sydney and one of the amazing houses I live down the road from is Vaucluse House. This house was bought by the explore, barrister and politician Charles Wentworth in 1827. It became a museum in 1915 and is open to the public at weekends. I loved the colourful history of its owner and the beautiful kitchen which is kept true to fact. I won't bore you with all the history but if you ever happen to be in Sydney do come and visit!

ReplyDeleteYou asked on my blog about what I think if it was wallpaper or linen, I believe you were talking about the table runner on my dining room table and it is linen.
It does look like a wonderful house to visit. Your photos look wonderful...
