Without further ado you will be able to witness more of our friends' glorious home and garden...
The weather was hot and sunny
and fortunately a gentle breeze blew off the ocean.
The porch overlooks the garden and the ocean beyond.
Vintage wicker is the perfect furniture for this arts and crafts home.
My BFF sets a lovely table!
Fresh flowers are always in abundance and artfully arranged.
Appetizers
The British AGA is at home here in the heart of the home.
Many delicious meals have been cooked in this kitchen.
My BFF's husband is a clever craftsman
He designed and crafted this copper hood.
He's also the talent behind their company Waterglass Studios...
just look at all the wonderful period light fixtures in these images.
Alabaster beauty
The living room ia spacious and furnished with oak arts and crafts furnishings.
This bath serves the two bedrooms either side of the doors.
Another powder room is tucked away underneath the staircase in the front hall.
The dining room
A third guest room off the main hall.
I love this light
looks like she has serious matters on her mind besides holding the torch!
I spied this tote in the guest room and my BFF said it was a gift for me!
Thank you S.
The main entry way and stairs leading up to the vast bedroom suite above.
French 75's were the cocktail of the hour.
Delicious mix of bubbly, gin, and lemon.
The front porch which I am so passionate about...
Mr. HB did some fine design work here.
My BFF got her hands on my IPhone and snapped this one of me...
barefoot
just wish I was a barefoot contessa!
Looking west to their neighbour's home across the croquet lawn.
The heritage Tea House.
Cooper their Welsh Terrior
which my BFF refers to affectionately as the Welsh Terrorist.
He is picking up on the scent of the resident native bunny...
who apparently lives under the ground in a burrow in this perennial border.
The garage and a shed with a patio seating area in front
this is where one of the BBQ's are located!
Vintage lighting in the Tea House!
Looking toward the shed and patio.
Toward the house.
Mr. HB relaxing in the cool of the Tea House
while he and my BFF's husband took a break from BBQing the lamb.
I hope that you have enjoyed this tour....
Tigara really is a magical place to visit.
An even better place to be invited to dine or pop by for a drink!
The hospitality is amazing as is the warmth of good friends and shared experiences
It is the kind of thing that one finds only once in a lifetime.
Rather like Tigara...
Thank you to S and P for sharing your special home.
