Comments (5)A friend of mine added a safari/ elephant border in place of crown molding. Then picked up the blacks, browns,and mustards with towels, shower curtain, artwork and soap/ tissue items. She found bamboo/cane looking candles and placed them on the toilet tank along with a bit of silk greenery Really looks stunning!...See MoreWhat is the 'S' shaped metal decoration on 20's home exteriors?
Comments (11)I think the OP wants a serious answer, not this nonsense. The device is called a "wall anchor", "anchor plate" or "retaining plate". They came in any number of shapes, most very utilitarian, but some were fanciful, like this one. The most common shape in the U.S. was the five-pointed star. In England it was commonly a circular anchor called a "pattress plate" which eventually became the name for the anchors no matter their shape. Their original purpose was to keep masonry walls in place. Left to their own devices, large brick and stone walls tend to bow over time. To keep them from bowing, a heavy iron tie-rod was run entirely through the building (usually inside the floors where it could hot be seen) and bolted to an anchor plate on the outside of opposite masonry walls to keep the walls in place. Anchor plates were a common feature of 19th century brick and stone buildings that were more than one story high -- especially buildings built with the old lime mortar which was not very strong. When walls stopped being made entirely of masonry, they lost their purpose, but are still affixed to walls, or in this case, the chimney to make them look like old masonry. They are still being made, used primarily to replace worn-out existing anchors on old buildings. One source is Allied Bolt & Screw. Most likely the one you have is purely decorative, but don't count on it. Brick chimneys are still solid masonry and still need bracing. So the anchor may be structural as well as decorative....See MoreNew Exterior Christmas Decor
Comments (11)First, no shutters. Those are not windows that call for them . You have a very pretty house that could just use some new landscaping. Now, I am no expert and not a pro, but I would suggest getting rid of the shrub by the door and the hedge to the left as a start. Maybe another picture or two from straight in front, closer up and from the street or sidewalk. I am surprised you haven't received more responses. It really is a lovely house and the property looks wonderfulas well. For Christmas, lights along the rooflines (yes, suggested that elsewhere, too) and maybe a large wreath on that window above the door which would probably require a pro (lots of landscaping businesses are now doing Christmas lights in our area)....See MoreYardvaark
