I have a crush…
on Alice’s country estate.
Not Alice from Alice in Wonderland, but looking at this pictures it does seem like a wonderland!
Alice lives in this fabulous house, Nantclwyd Hall, from the 17th century with a facade from the 1810s. This is house came from her husband’s (Tom) side. It was decorated in the 1950s by John Fowler for his Tom’s parents.
Love the tapestries and chandelier.
I see this fancy palm tree and think, my cat would love that.
Rose fabric above and below is from Colefax and Fowler in Jubilee Rose. Below is her dressing room full of designer clothes!
Below, her dressing table.
Bennison chairs and taxidermy.
Alice and her friend dressed up to go on a proper English ride (or hunt?)
Beautiful gardens, love the bird topiaries! Nothing quite like an English garden!

I must say, the only thing I don’t care for is all of the taxidermy, such as this unicorn below.
