Wooooo Hooooo I had the best week end. It was sad to get back on the plane today and head home. The weather in the Boston area was gorgeous all week end and the hubby and I just had the best time.
I will start with where we stayed. It is the Old Proctor Mansion Inn right in Wrentham, Ma. It was built in 1861 by a wealthy industrial man and his wife. It has been through 4 generations of family and for a while was left very neglected.
A great couple bought the Mansion in 2007 and restored a lot of the damage to the property from it being left neglected for so long. Now it has been restored to it's original beauty.
They left a lot of the Mansion and decor to the original way. They feel it gives the house it's well deserved integrity.
The wallpaper, architectural features and decor and furniture are original to the time this home was built and well loved.

| Isn't she grand. They still have the old horse and carriage hitches out front. |
 |
| These front doors just say Welcome and Please come in. |
 |
| Look at all that architectural salvage goodness. |
 |
| Front and side view of the Inn. |
 |
| It almost hit 80 on Saturday and after a great day we came back and sat out at this little romantic table and had a glass of wine. |
 |
This is the old carriage garage. I would so be making that into a wonderful and romantic guest cottage.

Can you imagine in a month or so all the beautiful gardens filled with blooms. I forgot to take a picture out back of the house and beautiful gardens. I bet she is so gorgeous when summer arrives with all her pretty blooms.
We had a very romantic and lovely stay. Sunday night we were the only couple left at the Inn and we had the whole mansion to ourselves. It was wonderful to think about life back in the day and owning this splendid place and raising a family.
Now on to the inside. |
 |
| They had a wedding in the Mansion on Friday night so our first morning breakfast was in the ballroom on Saturday morning. The tables were still up from the wedding the night before. |
 |
| They had fresh cut flowers on the table and fresh squeezed OJ and a wonderful breakfast casserole and fruit cups. It was so yummy. |
 |
| This is one of the fireplaces that are in each room in the mansion. Gorgeous architectural features. |
 |
| Beautiful stair case that lead up to your room. This mansion had a beautiful back servants staircase that was beautiful too. I forgot to get a picture of that. |
 |
| We stayed in the Peach Room. It was gorgeous. |
 |
| We had a beautiful claw foot tub in our bathroom. |
 |
| Front sitting room. |
 |
| Main Dining Room. |
 |
| This was the old farmhouse sink in the kitchen. The cook preparing breakfast said wait I will clean it up before you take a picture. I said no we keep it real in blog land. Real shots are the best. |
 |
| This was one of many beautiful old churches in town. This one was right across the street from the Mansion. I loved that it chimed every hour the time of day it was. Very beautiful. In the morning I would wake up to the chiming and know what time it was. |
Ok so you are not on picture overload I will end this post here. Wednesday I will post pictures of the fun I had meeting Sandi (a cottage muse) and Susan (evelyn and rose) and Michelle (petite michelle louise) while out at the At Home with Whites Show. You are going to love the pictures of the show. It was so fabulous. So tune back in on Wednesday to see the show pictures and all the fun with the girls.
