Love the red on the chimney and with the décor it is looking great, one of those large wreaths will look fabulous hanging in the centre. A beautiful pewter plate indeed. History shows!

    One thing about your tin plate, it could be a mark, "un poinçon" which give the quality of the product, for example the proportion of lead in the tin. Every dish - by the way this plate is old, probably XVIII° century - had to have a hallmark. Nice red !

    Fried green tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes, roll in a beaten egg then dunk in cracker crumbs and fry add a little salt and pepper. Yummy That's the part about Christmas I love. The sentient in each decoration. I have a dog biscuit with pipe cleaners for antlers and 2 wiggly eyes my son made in kindergarten in 1982, I wasn't sure about the re at first but I think it looks very nice and will definitely make a statement to decorate around.

    An idea for your metal crypt door. Dependent upon the actual thickness of the wall you intend cutting through, which will entail some serious replacement support. Put another fully glazed door on the outside with the metal door on the inside face of the kitchen wall, even with a box frame if it needs to be further into the room. That way you will get maximum light coming in and the metal door will be better protected from the weather as it already has some rust. Also it might not matter which way it opens, either inward or outward if there is sufficient space and by having two doors will act as double glazing especially as a metal door on its own will conduct cold more readily. Regardless whatever you do I am sure you will bling it back to life!

      Hello, thank you for watching and for your idea. We haven't decided on the final place for the door yet but we will be considering all the practical issues that will arise. Best wishes to you, Suzie and Rols 🎄

    I love the red accents and the decorations, like Suzie I have some from my children's first Christmas and pieces picked up along the way - special each and everyone - I will say that Suzie makes me look good, but I don't bring all the crates down. Did I hear you right, saying that absolutely beautiful fire place was 'yours' 😂

    I love Christmas ornaments too! I can fill 10 , 2m high trees with them. Trying not to buy anymore but can’t resist. A few years back I handmade over 70 different decorations in felt and other materials. They are very special to me. I still have a few of the first ever baubles I bought 49 years agoo. They where on my pink and white christmas tree last year. Still don’t know what the tree will look this year! Going to have to make a dissicion very soon! Maybe my glass animal and cat 🦁🐯🦊🐓🦢🐿🦔🎄baubles again as the youngest granddaughter is into animals at the moment?

    So glad for you and test results. Seeing you sitting by the fireside on the chair with your furry friend and the decorated Christmas tree behind you - such a pleasant picture! Yes. You shocked me with that red color but now that I see it dry I see why you chose it. It is your home and your color choices are what make it even more YOUR home. Blessings.

    Even if the true color were the bright red and you enjoy it that is all that matters. It is your home. And, its right in time for the Christmas season to begin its jolly. Red is a color that goes well with your chickens in the kitchen too. Bah Humbug to those that want their taste to be your taste! Part of the joy of visiting others is how different our homes are. How boring it would be if everyone had the same taste in everything.

    Some of my ancestors were “Filles du Roi”, which means “Daughters of the King”. The king being Louis the 14th. They were not literal daughters of King Louis, however. He gave these young women dowry’s and sent them to Nouvelle France to populate the colony. And yes, sometimes Roi, or Roy means king. 😊

    I love red! It looks beautiful where you've used it. When we moved into our home I scoured the attic and found some treasures. Mine are not nearly as old as yours for I live in the USA and our country only came into official existence in 1776. But the man who built the home, whose daughter sold it to us, was in the US Army during World War II and I found 2 metal military basins that are dated 1942 and a military issued wool blanket among other things. I'm with Susie regarding sentimental ornaments. I have a reindeer made of clothes pins (with 1 eye left on it) that my eldest daughter made in kindergarten in 1980. She passed away unexpectedly in 2012 so I really treasure that among many ornaments. I'm very sentimental and get emotional as I decorate my tree. Unfortunately I've not put up a Christmas tree since our daughter died. It's still too difficult. Your home is looking lovely.

      A small tree with your most special memory ornaments could be a tribute to your daughter and in a way have her presence with you during the holidays.
