Though sometimes the 'Golden Years' seem more like tarnished brass, they are not the end of adventure. I invite you to follow me as I enjoy my days as a full-time life observer. I'll cover life, travel, food, gardening, whatever crosses my path.
Gorgeous rooms, but like your other commenters, I wouldn't want to live there... even if I had a ton of servants to help with the upkeep! So, if that was their winter palace... did they have spring, summer, and fall palaces too?
Beautiful, but can you imagine living there? In the movie Desirée she says 'I hate palaces' because they were always so cold.
ReplyDeleteJo, I cannot even imagine living in some of the 8,000 sq ft houses near me. I guess it is just showing folks how much space you can afford.
DeleteBeautiful, but I like cozy best!

ReplyDeleteIn a word, yes.
DeleteThis is so beautiful and you were lucky to have seen this. I'm glad they restored this palace after the war
ReplyDeleteMy friend was upset that she was seeing restored palaces, but what would be the alternative? Duh!!!
