If you want a home that could guide you through designing your home, this book, The Illinois Governor's Mansion, will help you make the way. I have never seen so many breathtaking rooms, pieces of furniture, textiles, rugs, art, chandeliers, silver, crystal, and the architecture is overwhelming.

There is so much history in these rooms, and the colors are so lovely. I could spend days looking at the paintings and history of the people that were in the mansion over many years.

Below are several of the images that I have chosen for you.  ENJOY!
