A peek at our visit to a brothel…

 

Audrey and I had the unusual pleasure of visiting a brothel today…

  …and this is what we saw just inside the door…346[4]

 

Yes indeed – we were up for that! The home we shot today for a future issue was purported to be brothel at one time in it’s storied past. Of course that closed looooooong ago, but we were delighted to find that there is still one hooker living there ~ 748_thumb[5]~ a rug hooker that is!! Shame on you if you thought any different!

 

The outside spaces were as inviting as the inside! 617[4]

And in addition to the hooker and her hubby, we met some other very strange interesting people…678_thumb[1]

HOOKED!

  15. Beautiful tour of a magnificent home. I love all the primitive decor, especially all the hooking that was going on. :) I never can get enough of the new england red color it's so warm and inviting these days of the white decor!

  17. Dear Grammee L,
    I am sooooo relieved. Indeed I was up all night worried that you had left your Kiln red door and primitive place to go to a brothel with you new hooker friend. Now I can relax since I know you have not become a "working girl"... however it looks like you have taken up with some unusual looking friends. Are you going through a crisis dear? If so, I am sure your Primitive Place friends and blog friends are ready and waiting to help you get through this.
    Hugs, Grammy L
