Sitting in the Receiving Room…
…at 5:30PM today, totally exhausted after spending the entire day cleaning, in a kind of coma, talking with my friend Patricia on my iPhone (“I feel like I have been run over by 8 trucks”). But…it’s a kinda cool image!

Happy Thanksgiving Ross,
Thank you for your hard work in making the world a more beautiful place.

Not just a kinda cool image… A WAY COOL image! Enjoy your celebration!
A friggin fantastic image! Displays just how richly outfitted the cross house is. And imagine how rich it would have looked with that beautiful green and gold wallpaper.
Happy Thanksgiving Ross, you are doing a great job on the Cross house and I am thankful that you share it with us
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of the house from the sitting room before. It looks gorgeous(and very clean too!) For some reason I always thought that, at the top of the stairs, you could only turn left, but in the picture it looks like you can turn either way. Am I seeing that right? Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving and Happy After Thanksgiving Day! Have a GREAT time tomorrow and I look forward to hearing all about it!
I am AGOG! When I visited you last winter, I was speechless with the overwhelming amount of restoration work you faced. I remember seeing the sweet receiving room tucked just inside the door and thinking that SOME DAY, there would again be a great view of the majestic staircase for visitors to enjoy! THIS is it!! Such a joy to read about and see all of your accomplishments with the Cross House this year! So splendid she looks as she is readied for a celebration of friends! Have a great time today, Ross!
It’s really quite harrowing to realize it hasn’t looked this good in DECADES! Hat’s off to you, and I wish I could have made it.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! what amazing progress and adoration I have for this house and all your hard work.. That woodwork is so majestic. IM IN AWWWWEEEE!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Ross! Wish I could join you on Friday so I could see all this beauty in person. From this view, the Cross house looks like a lovely, welcoming home again. Hope you enjoy welcoming all the fans of your house, your blog, and you and your work today. All the best from Barb
Happy Thanksgiving, Ross! I hope you and all your visitors have a great day today! I don’t recall seeing too many shots of the stairs, which I think are the crowning glory of any house. This view is a real treat! And what is this I see? A perfect spot for a grandfather clock, right there between the stair case and the doorway into the drawing room? 🙂 Hey, this boy continues to dream! Have a great one today! Cheers!
Ross was awaiting my arrival moved 2 eve from late afternoon– dropped off food for fridge at 8 & he was nearly comatose. My reaction to Sparkling Magical illuminated Cross House n evening revived him to be able to drive to Strong City for night. Described breathtaking view driving up of the myriad sparkling colorful stained glass!! Colors of the house in alluring porch ceiling accentuate & bring out the colors!!!!
Including not luring but could b alluring coral porch ceiling—Apple spell check insane!!
Magnificant!!
