Touring a Mansion

My husband and I love to visit Old mansions once home to the rich. It’s cool to see wealthy folks’ manors, With which most people wish they could switch. I admire the woodwork and paintings, The furniture and the decor, Though it’s often too showy and fancy, Since ornate’s far from me at my core. So I guess it won’t seem too surprising That the rooms where at home I could feel Are the quarters that house all the servants, Which to me have the greatest appeal.

Couldn’t agree more. Opulence is not tasteful

Newport, RI has a splendid collection of yesteryear mansions in impeccable condition. No matter, by tastes in a home is middle class basic, and no higher. / Maurice

A portrayal of how the other half live Ilene, but I too would feel more comfortable being 'downstairs' rather than upstairs! hugs Jan xx
