More photos from Alice

Remember Alice and her yellow Geneva kitchen in Richmond, Virginia? We’ve stayed in touch, and she sent some additional photos of her time capsule house. Here’s her update:
You see I got busy with the camera. Attached are a couple of photos of the wallpaper in the dining room of our new, old house..I love the paper and am keeping it! In case the colors aren’t clear, it’s pink and blue pheasants on pink, blue, green and cream flower stems - all on a metallic silver background! The colored areas of the paper have a feel and look as though it’s hand painted…just lovely!
And because you asked, and knowing your crowd will enjoy, this I have included a few photos of our den with what appears to be a hand-made tray ceiling; a cute little bar/liquor closet that was definitely a handy-mans delight (fyi - I would love some photos/info regarding tiki bars - or whatever bars were typical of the ’50’s); a couple of ceiling fixtures that we have inherited; and did I mention they are the most fabulous closets? I’ve included a particular closet - a top-to-bottom cedar lined closet that is approximately 12′ x 12′.
And, Alice sent photos of her aqua (mint green?) bathroom with great yellow sink and original wallpaper. Thanks again, Alice, I’m mint green with envy!

OMG, what do I want more–the dining room wallpaper, the floor tile in the bathroom, or the shelf cubby? No, I think it’s the tile border in the bathroom! I’m taking that photo with me to the tile place when I’m ready to pick out tile for my bathroom. I’ll ask if they have anything close. It’s perfect.
Great home, Alice!
That tile border is exactly the same style (different colors) that my mother has in her circa 1951 ranch in central Pennsylvania. Hers is pink and blue, and I’ve always loved it. The raised texture is what really makes it pop.
Oh yeah. What has really intrigued me is the photo of the den’s tray ceiling. Are those panelled rectangles on the walls at the bottom of the photo just decoration? Or are their little cubbies behind them? Either way, they’re great. What a treasure trove of a house!
Thanks for posting the photos Pam!
The sink in the aqua bathroom is actually aqua, not yellow, I’m just not that good at controlling my camera!
To Femme1 - the panelled rectangles that you see in the photo with the tray ceiling are actually the tops of the built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving.
Thanks for your comments and support everyone…I have a feeling you will be the support we’ll need as we actually begin making the home ours!
I am in love with everything! Also that wallpaper is fabulous! I wouldn’t change a thing either.
Wow, LOVE that bathroom wallpaper!
[...] See Alice’s green bathroom, too! Click a couple of times on the photo and it will fill your screen for a good close up of the design. Clearly - the pattern was sold in sheets; don’t try to piece this together yourself, you will go insane. [...]
This is a my idea of a palace, a mansion, my dream house, heaven… Sigh…. glad it fell into Alice’s hands!
I always thought that maybe I was the only one who thought like this and I’m so glad to have discovered a site where there are other people like me! Beautiful houses!
Hi Pam. This is 50s Pam. Welcome to the retro renovation community!
