I just found confirmation that the tall bookcase in the upstairs bedroom is Westacre-Yea!

You would think I would get the "hang" of how these postings go...the first one done is the last one everyone sees!! I still haven't "gotten" it as you can read. Rebecca asked for more Westacre so here are pictures of the pieces I have.
Pictured: Westacre 4-poster bed, stuffed arm chair and I believe that the tall cabinet is also by that maker. If anyone has any info on that piece, I would love to hear about it.
The parlor pieces (next photo) are really fun: cane back/seat sofa, cane top small table, purplish stuffed arm chair and I think the green candlestick table is also Westacre. Does anyone know for sure?
I am looking to BUY WESTACRE if you have any for sale or know of anyone you does...
email teaqueen123@gmail.com Thanks!

The next four photos are especially for my blogette friend Rebecca!
These are photos of the Westacre pieces that I have in my collection to date. Someday perhaps I'll have alot more! Right. Even a few more would be wonderful!

Want to Buy: Westacre, England pieces!
I am interested in buying Westacre pieces of furniture, some of which are described in the article at left. I really need lamps-table and floor, bookcase and tables.
If anyone has Westacre FOR SALE I would love for you to email me at teaqueen123@gmail.com or just send me a photo and price at that address. I am trying to complete an English house.

Here is the lovely Welsh Princes house interior photos of my back-opening house. The bedroom has the wonderful Westacre 4-poster bed, arm chair and tall cabinet in it. There is a terrific old housemaid getting ready to tend the fire. There are Welsh Corgi dogs running around the house in various rooms and in the front garden....just like the one I have, Sweet William, who my grandchildren love.
All the pieces in this house are old and with the help of a good English friend, Liz, I have some pieces that make it look all the more inviting! I hope you enjoy the tour of my Welsh Princess House!

Here is the Welsh Princess House bathroom with the original papers, sink and tub. The toilet and medicine cabinet have been added. An old dresser and chair have also been added. The faucets were never on the tub or sink (nor on the kitchen sink) so I'm on the hunt to make sure there are some found and installed so my tiny Welsh occupants will be able to turn the water on!
The floor and wall papers in the entire house are all original and in great shape which is one reason I purchased this particular house. I love my houses to be as original as possible for I find that I can never effectively reproduce the patina. Enjoy!

Here is the center staircase going to the upstairs bedroom and bath. My little Welsh girl is playing with her cat on the stairs....I hope she doesn't tip and fall to the landing! Thanks to my husband, I recently had the house "sympathically" re-wired so all the rooms look so much more colorful than before there was light in each room. It is easy to see everything in them now! I love the soft glow from the old shades!
