Castle Adventure/ Creepy Part


Heading up to the second floor is another bedroom...the stairs feel colder and the air a little heavier but once you get to the bedroom it looks so lovely




 Last but not least...the third floor
When I ventured up there by myself it was late afternoon and a gloomy day.
I probably spent some time in each of the bedrooms taking photos...playing with the lamps etc. 
So here I am heading up to the third level and looking into the bedroom



 Here is the picture of outside where the bedroom towers are located...notice the size of the windows as they get higher up...they keep getting smaller...




 Now it was time to stop playing, turn off the lights and head downstairs as I did...After all I was almost to the top which is closed off


 I turn around and look into the room for the last time and snap these off



I am sure it's just the light shining in from the windows but it was enough to make me run....




I felt very relieved when I saw this door...
Pheeew! The power of those stone walls is incredible...to hard to describe, almost like you are sucked into going up there....I am very glad I wasn't sleeping in one of those rooms.
Now I am home @22 and taking down the Easter Decorations and cleaning up a bit. It's good to be back in your own bed and having to cook for yourself once again...This was a long vacation for me...probably the longest I have taken since having the kids.
Enjoy your Monday Ladies (and Gents)

Sleeping in a Castle







We were fortunate enough to be the only guests in the castle for the whole time we were there so we got to stay in the big bedroom suite


Everything looks very English. The colors are so royal...it feels like a hotel but at the same time like your home



All the little details made it feel very homey- Like this window where you can sit and read




A view to a kill...
And walking down the corridor there is a closet and a bathroom which for some reason I forgot to take pictures of...but I am posting what I have...






Out the hall we go again to the second bedroom on this floor






I love the details of the dresser and personally wouldn't mind making it shabby

Heading towards the front of the building there is another stairway, not as fancy as you can see but very charming and creepy at the same time. I have to admit I was a bit scared...





Upstairs are 3 different bedrooms, all with private bathrooms
Below is Bedroom #1





 I personally love the pattern on this chair




The room is divided by this gate to separate the closet area from the bedroom...very chic
Ready for more?
We have two more bedrooms left which I am leaving for my last blog post from the Moyvannan Castle...Stay tuned

Kitchen in a castle

 Even though the Castle is 300 years old it contains all the newest modern technology... It was renovated about about 3 years ago so when you are in the kitchen it has a less of a castle feeling, but that is quite alright...I love a modern kitchen like this one!




 Irish Pottery made exclusively for Moyvannan Castle


 I am in love with the windows...Medieval, Victorian I am no expert but even though they are brand new, a great care was taken to preserve the important historical features of the castle in a tasteful manner...






Introducing the coffee machine of the house...who wouldn't want a built in one? It asks you what you want...Cappuchino, Macciato, Espresso or Regular!



Do we have to talk about the stove....No I didn't think so...



 Lovely granite countertops

 Butcher block Island with built in cabinets- eating space for 5


Curtains;Adorable

Ohhh one day....


Of course there isn't a castle without a surveillance system...after all when the Queen is in the kitchen she needs to be aware of her King when he enters through the gate so she can start mixing his G&T!


Off to an Irish Dinner Party....Ta'Ta
