Andy Griffith was born in Mount Airy in 1926. In total, there are 250 rooms in the house. It’s hard to believe Biltmore House was a bachelor pad, complete with a billiards room and a bowling alley. Stay tuned for a big blog post coming soon on America’s largest home – the Biltmore House! Oh MY!! We went there this week and it was worth the 3-4 hour drive at 4:30am to get there at opening time. It’s a little diversion from my furniture painting posts, which I have plenty more to come in the New Year, but I couldn’t help share some of these beautiful places and treasures with you while we are over here in the land of antiques & furniture goodies. I hope you enjoyed this step back through time. Please can I take this little horse home?
