Welcome back to my 2021 Hudson River Valley tour. We finally move inside the Mount Gulian house. This is the downstairs area, the only remaining original part of the house. The walls have been whitewashed, and the area is set as if it were the mid-1700s, just around the time the house was founded. I loved the way they used greenery and fruit for the table spread. Lovely historic touches on the hearth and a spinning wheel, too.
This layout is based on Sketch 3 from the CM March 2026 virtual crop. Yes, sketch 3 is meant to be a double-page layout. No, this isn't a double-page layout 😁. I only had the 3 photos of downstairs, and this is the right side of the album (the left is the single-page barn you saw in the last post). But the sketch was the perfect fit for the arrangement of my photos, so I just cut it in half! The background paper is more of a white brick than whitewashed stone, but I thought it made a good base. I rummaged through the remaining Christmas papers on my worktable and chose the pop of red for the horizontal photos. The vertical photo is on a green mat, though with just 1/4" around the edge, it may be difficult to see. I had one sticker border left with the greenery and bows. By cutting it in half and repositioning the rounded edge so it faces left, I was able to create the symmetrical borders above and below the red mat.
