If you turn left you will end up in my living room...Now these are old Bridge supports on each side of the door way...this is the right side...this way also goes into my laundry room, kitchen, dinning room, office and sunroom....
And here's the left side...
Now this is just a shot to show you the around ceiling going into my hallway and bedroom...
This is at the end of the hallway...
This is at the end of the hallway...
This shot I took coming down the stairs... This was not an easy task to put square doors in a round wall...
Now you can see by the baseboards how round it is....This also shows you how my hallway starts..
Right side of door..looking down from stairs...
Now these pictures of my yard longs are not hung crooked...remember this is a round wall...even the wall paper border looks crooked but trust me its not...
Now these pictures of my yard longs are not hung crooked...remember this is a round wall...even the wall paper border looks crooked but trust me its not...
Just a shot of the bottom of the stairs...I know some one you are probably fainting looking at this Rose carpet...But I do love this color and its always goes so well with my antiques..ha ha!!
Now this is the top of the stairs leading into the guest room and bath...This room has no door on it...I know it sound weird...but will tell you this room sits so far back that we didn't want to enclose it with a door as soon as you walked up the stairs and BAM!! a door right in your face...This Landing is very wide...as you can see I have an old spinning wheel even sitting there...
This is a shot of the very top of ceiling..its 3 stories high...so remember the Cob web rule here...Hey if I can't reach it...its don't get clean...My Wally use to tell people that our home was clean up to 5'1 because that's all Gloria could see...Ha ha!! Now I hope I didn't put you all to sleep today with my entry...May all of you have a great day...I should go clean cob webs...No I don't think so...all critters need a place to live ha ha!!
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Oops! Did I hurt your ears...?
You've been hiding this beauty from us for too long girlfriend!
It's gorgeous!!!
Love the height of it,
the rounded curve to the staircase and the stained glass sconces. They look really beautiful.
This entryway is a showstopper and I love it!!
Have a blessed day.

Gloria,
You have a beautiful foyer! I love it and I love your home. All of the detail and your taste in furniture... Love it. I would like to have those bridge supports, if you don't mind!! ;-)
Thanks so much for the tour!

PS. It IS grand!!
What do you mean this is not grand??????? With that gorgeous stairway and beautiful hall tree and victro (Oh my how do you spell that!!!) this is all the makings of grand to me!! I wish my house had an entry way- you walk in and there you are- no introductions like an entryway!!
So glad to be back! Always love your stuff!!! You have quite the eye for the pretties!!

This was so much fun! You've got more to look at just in your foyer than I have in my entire house!!!!!! Ooh, I love that spinning wheel! My mil has one too, but it doesn't look as if it's quite as large.
How DID you put the doors in on the round wall? I'm guessing you had to build the wall either in or out some?
Justine :o )
so beautiful and i think it's very grand!
WOW...well i happen to think your entry is GRAND! absolutely gorgeous!!! oh i would have so much with an entry like this. My entry is one small somewhat long narrow space, only walls to decorate...lol oh and i love your etched glass, stunning! thanks for sharing your lovely space.
hugs
janet
It looks pretty grand to me!!! I wouldn't get up there to clean either. Love the bridge supports. The whole area gives a great welcome to your charming home. Sally
all I can say is "WOW"... very impressive.
Loved your post today on your entry! It is spectacular! I am only 5' 1" myself so I worry when someone taller than me comes to visit....they might see something that hasn't been dusted! lol
~Patti
This is your entry?
It is grand for a grand queen that lives in this palace with round walls. You have been holding out on us, what other grand features do you have hidden in those walls.
This is stunning and I would get lost in this house of yours. There is not another blog woman on this site that can say she has round walls; you are a hoot my friend. Thank you Gloria I needed to see some beauty tonite.
Blossom

Gloria, I would definitely call this a grand entry! How gorgeous it all looks! I can just imagine putting in that curved baseboard! Bet somebody was cursing when they did that! You are the only person I know who would have a set of bridge supports! Those are amazing! Loved this tour. laurie

Hi Gloria! I love this! You are wrong...it is grand! Just gorgeous!! I had to go slowly and study each picture. You need to open your beautiful home for tours!! I'd be first in line!! Hope you are having a great week...hugs..Debbie
Where is a picture of the outside of your most unique home?

Gosh sis...I am sitting here with my mouth wide open!!!! I'd be stareing and gawking for hours just in the foyer!!!!! Look at all those treasures in that one spot....oh my word...what a glorious entry into your beautiful home sis....gosh...I'd have to put my 'stick' on before I came in! This is beautiful girl...just beautiful!
Gloria...I LOVE your entrance! It's wonderful! I love the acid etched glass you made...you've always been talented in creating beautiful things, I see! Your entry really is round, isn't it...how cool is that! The chandelier is magnificent! I see so many great antiques, too. Gloria, you could put your home on tour and charge each and every day...it is better than most museums! I'm so glad you are blogging now so we get to see your home without fighting the slowness and problems of RMS! :-) Susan
I love your entry, Gloria! That chandy is fabulous! I wish I could tour your house, it will be very enjoyable and interesting for sure...Christine

Hi Sis...
I'm backkk!!! Oh my gosh, I'm pooped! Hehe!
Girl, I just had to come back when I could spend more time going through your GRAND entryway...yes, I said GRAND!!! It truly is!!! My friend, I just can't even begin to imagine having a fabulous home like yours...seriously! I just love that the entry hall is round...it's so unique...I just love it!!! You know, my dad was a carpenter but I have never...in my entire life...seen how they build round walls...it just fascinates me! And like you said...I would have loved watching them get that your front doors in! Hehe!!!
I love that beautiful antique hat rack (what do they call that piece?) Of course, I had to enlarge all of your photos...I was admiring all of your pretties! The old hats and purses...walking sticks and umbrellas! What a grand piece and you have everything so beautifully displayed on it!!! Darlin' I love your rose colored carpet and you're absolutely right about your antiques looking fabulous on that color!!! Ooooh...love the pretty cherub wall border going up the stairs and that you have displayed some of your "yard longs" here! Ohhh...those steps are just soooo inviting...I just want to go up and see that guest room sooooo bad! Love that you put your spinning wheel on the landing upstairs and I sure did notice that pretty pink quilt on the railing too! Gorgeous!!!
Gloria...I didn't know that you knew how to do stain glass! Girl, that etched glass window of roses is simply magnificent!!! I would love to learn how to do that! And that chandelier looks sooo beautiful in front of that etching....Ooooh!!!
Darlin'...your entry hall is GRAND!!! I would certainly have a crooked neck all of the time...just standing and looking up...all the way up to the ceiling! That my friend...is GRAND!!! Sis, you have such a beautiful home...just makes me want to jump on a plane and come for a visit! I just know that I could spend weeks...even months...looking at and enjoying all of your pretties!!! You've done such a fabulous job planning, building, and decorating your home!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us...
Love ya honey,
Chari
PS...seriously, I can't hardly stand it...I want to see your guest room, Sis!!! Hehe!!!
Hi Gloria,
Decorating a round room is certainly a design dilema but you have done a great job. You have an eye for detail. Your entry is very welcoming! Hugs, Loretta

oh Gloria,this is as unique and lovely as you.i cannot imagine another house like this or another Gloria in the world.i love it.that etched window is glorious.i love it...ann
Just the soaring height of your entry makes it grand and the round shape makes it so interesting. I love it and everything in it. I think your beautiful home would be a perfect setting for a tea room. Just gorgeous!!
Your home is gorgeous...thanks for sharing...Pat H
g, what took you so long! That round foyer is the coolest thing! I love the bridge support, so differant. Thanks for not letting me miss it.
I think it looks grand! I never realized it was round. There used to be a round house up the road a ways, unfortunately it didn't find any one to love it and it got torn down. I used to think it would be so neat.
Betty
OKAY BABY!!!!! Just think of all the space you will have once I pull out with BOTH of the Uhauls!
WOOOO HOOOO!!!!
Yep....TOOTSIE IS GOING TO CLEAN YOU OUT!
I love most everything you have....especially love you tho! hope you have a good week mom!
Not grand.... woman, you're crazy! LOL You know darn well your home is grand. I've only been telling you that for about 2 years LOLOL
I love that the whole room is round, kinda like the oveal office, but an entry ;)
(((hugs)))

Oops! I forgot... Rich says he hasn't been there, but he knows it's hot and dirty and they call it Fort Lost-in-the-woods LOL
xoxo,

Love your unique entry way, and everything you showed us! And oh those supports on the doorway! And the antiques. And the rose stair carpet. Myyyyyyyyy color!
All of this, was a lot of work to construct and to finish, of course. But what a finished product you have. Unique. One of a kind. All those good things.
On top of all that, it's so warm and homey and inviting. Yummmmm...
Love tours of houses. Of real live houses, in which real live people live, especially.
Hugs, hugs, hugs,
'Aunt Amelia'
Well, Gloria...if THIS isn't grand...what IS? My goodness girl...it's lovely! I love that it is round! and the spiral staircase....Ooooh!
;-D
Yes...I agree with Melissa. GLORIA!! You live in a...a...mansion! WHOA! Gorgeous!!!
I had this cozy little farm house pictured. LOL
You have been hiding this light under a bushel...Absolutely beautiful. I mean..even if you didn't show EVERYBODY..you could have at LEAST shown me! LOL I would have kept it to myself. I would have felt smug..yes...that is so true...but..you could have shared with ME!!!
Hugs and smiles~
Mona :)
Your entry is most certainly grand, and it is beautiful! It is amazing, I love the shape of it. You did a wonderful etching job on the glass, and oh my goodness that chandelier is spectacular!!!
I hope you had a wonderful week. Nicole
Well, it sure looks GRAND to me!! You have so many beautiful and interesting things everywhere in your house (mansion!)
Enjoyed seeing this!
