Outside, the house looks just like dozens of others in the neighborhood. Passers-by once again not to cast a glance in his direction. However, if you cross the threshold of the home, it may surprise even otvisnut jaw. The interior decoration as if copied from paintings by artists of the Renaissance.

Dowager Countess Almine Barton I bought a house for himself in Newport (Oregon) in 1979. Then it was the usual, nothing unremarkable building. When a woman first went inside, I felt myself not quite comfortable, after which she decided to make repairs to your liking. A hostess wishes, as it turned out, was a very eccentric.
The Countess has decided to honor the memory of their ancestors and to design the interior in the spirit of antiquity. The windows in the house were replaced by medieval stained-glass windows, which were collected from a variety of abandoned churches in England. Since the stained glass windows artificially darken the space, the Countess carefully select building materials that reflect the sun's rays.
The hostess said that she had very long to find artists willing to take on home renovation. Finishing materials are so expensive, and from this the workers were afraid to spoil them. Room walls are covered with silk moire satin and French. Floor covering noble oak.
In 40 years of living in the house Almine Barton decorate your interior with crystal chandeliers, 17th century antiques books, curtains costing $ 14,000, silk handmade carpets, furniture and many of the Victorian era others.
With all the inner splendor countess did not want to change the exterior of the home, that is. To. Understand that the rich facade entail an increase in the property tax.
A couple of years ago, the hostess had a stroke and can not fully keep order in the house. After much thought, she decided to sell your home. Asking price of luxury apartments - $ 399,000. In addition, the Countess will sell it with the condition that the interior of the house will be saved.
Not such a scale, but no less interesting house with a "secret" built for himself in the garden of a 32-year-old boy. Inside, the cabin is equipped with a real flea mini-cinema.
