We moved into our house one year ago!!!! When you say it like that it, and pull up the “before” pics!, does seem like we’ve done a TON of work... nice change because I still get discouraged living in a fixer upper and looking around at all the unfinished projects! I rounded up a ton of before/afters throughout our house of what we’ve done the past year and it’s on the blog! Which one’s your fave! . . . http://liketk.it/2DoSr @liketoknow.it #diyhomedecor #diyhomeprojects #stanleytudorrevived #diyhomeimprovement #oldhouselove #oldhome #tudorrevival #homedecor #mystoryindecor #hbmstyle #hgtvmagazine #myhousebeautiful #cljsquad #mypinterest #designsponge #apartmenttherapy #pocketsofmyhome #habitatandhome #curblylovewhereyoulive #myhomevibe #acornerofmyhome #myinspiredhouse #fixerupper

After a very tough (and very hot) week of work, the Mill Neck Manor team has completed an extensive restoration project in the butler’s pantry. Original tile, hidden under layers of wallpaper and glue for years, has been re-exposed and cleaned, and the room has been re-staged from floor to ceiling. New lights, matching those which were originally in the room, were installed as well. Make sure to keep an eye on the continuing restoration work happening at Mill Neck Manor, and check out this competed job at our upcoming evening tour July 26th! ••• Click the link in our bio to purchase tickets : : : #millneckmanor #historic #restoration #preservation #goldcoast #tudor #tudorrevival #antique #museum #beautiful #art #design #architecture #mansion #roaring20s #greatgatsby #stainedglass #stone #granite #english #manorhouse #countryhome

I can't say I've ever seen a Tudor quite like this one. Thanks to @vanthomasre for this 1929 jewel...that undulating roofline! . . #tudortuesday #tudorrevival #1920shouse #theamericanhome #newrochelleny #regrann

Mill Neck Manor, formerly called Sefton Lodge or the Lillian Sefton Dodge Estate, is a Tudor style mansion located at 40 Frost Mill Road in Mill Neck, New York. A big, tremendous thank you to the incredible staff of this gorgeous house for giving me such a wonderfully detailed tour that I now get to share with all of you! Mill Neck Manor was built between 1922-1925 by architecture firm Clinton & Russell, Wells, Holton & George for Lillian Sefton Dodge and her husband Robert Leftwich Dodge (who’s initials appear on the front door handles ). Lillian was the president of the Harriet Hubbard Ayer cosmetics company, a relatively rare high powered position for a woman at the time. The mansion was built both as a family home for Lillian, Robert, and their daughter Mary, but also as a place to schmooze with business and society connections. It features the exquisite work of master iron designer Samuel Yellin, medieval England inspired stained glass by Charles Connick of Boston, and gardens designed by Charles Wellford Levitt. Exteriors of the mansion were inspired by St. Catherine’s Court, an estate North of Bath, England in Somerset. The two story mansion is made of rusticated Westchester granite and limestone. The front door is somewhere between 400 and 500 years old (see Stories - they will be made permanent) with a few embellishments, such as the R and D carved into the door handles. I’ll speak more about the intricate interiors on further posts, because I took about a thousand pictures. Robert Dodge passed away in 1940 at age 68 and Lillian Dodge sold Harriet Hubbard Ayer to the Lever Brothers in 1947 for $5 million. In 1949 the Manor was purchased by the Lutheran Friends of the Deaf who operated the mansion as a school until 2002 when a new building on the property was constructed. As a house enthusiast I have to commend the school for taking such wonderful care of the building through their years of tenancy. The amount of original woodworking and plaster is simply astounding. The house, today, is open for tours. More information can be found at @millneckmanor or millneckmanorhouse.org. Interior photos to come!!

Some of the spectacular interiors of Mill Neck Manor. There will probably be quite a few posts to come because I went a little over the top with the pictures... but it was hard not to when almost every detail was so beautiful. Here we have a good chunk of the first floor. The first picture shows the inside of the heavy outside door (visible in my Stories - go to my profile and the Mill Neck button to see it and many more) and parts of the double staircase. On the landing are the famous stained glass windows depicting Shakespeare plays. Don't worry, you will get a much better view. However, the first room one would encounter when entering the room is the expansive reception room. The ceiling is hand plastered, as in not from a mold, and is probably one of the most impressive ceilings that I have ever seen - in a house full of impressive ceilings. The windows that face the sloping back lawn of the house, with a partial view of the water, are festooned with crests from, mostly defunct, British estates. Keeping with the Tudor theme of the house. All the fireplaces in the house are impressive but the one in the reception room is truly something else. See more in Stories. On one side of the house is the living room, with more stained glass and another gorgeous fireplace. When the estate was turned into a school the living room served as the chapel, hence the lovely church linoleum flooring . The front window is octagonal and perfect for the chapel it became. But it is still not hard to imagine this gorgeous room in its original glory. Finally we have the dinging room, full of beautiful wood work and yet another beautiful fireplace. It's set up with tea tables, not exactly a grand dining table but a perfect place to have a little snack and a cup of tea.

Some more interiors of @millneckmanor. I had to start with the show stopping Charles Connick designed Shakespearean stained glass windows. They were installed in 1927 to the tune of $10,000 apiece. A close up of the Hamlet panel will be available in my Stories (click the Mill Neck button on my homepage). Of course the windows are in line with the Tudor style of the house. The second photo is of the ceilings between the staircase and the upstairs hallway. None of the exquiste plaster ceilings repeat through the mansion. The same is true for the intricate wood cravings on the woodwork through the house. The fourth photo is of the immense master bedroom. Lillian and Robert Dodge did share a bedroom, relatively rare at the time, which perhaps explains its size. Visible on the left is the enormous, and beautiful, wardrobe Lillian used to store some of her things. The inside and the beautiful fireplace will be visible in Stories. Obviously this room is currently used for meetings. Perhaps unfortunate, but necessary when running an organization such as Mill Neck does. The octagonal window at the front of the house in the master carries over from the window in the living room/chapel on the first floor. Finally is daughter Mary's room. The exterior outside the lovely window seat has "Mary" carved into the facade (also visible in Stories). Her fireplace is as elaborate as the rest of the house and I'm pretty sure her bathroom is one of my favorites ever (would be number 1 if @craneestate_trustees didn't exist).

Another great Flint home. #tudorrevival #brickhouse #beautifulflint #flintmichigan #gables #catslideroof #catslide #windows #halftimbered #sunnyday
