I had a very long eye appointment that lasted until past 11:00 a.m. and was only slightly late for lunch at Harry's Bar & Grill with Terry Harvey and Marilyn Schroeder. We had light rain when we finished our lunches and drove to the McKinley Marina to get the shuttle that would drive us to this year's Christmas Fantasy House. (Mansion)
We knew we would be impressed by this year's creations, and we were not disappointed.
Each room was filled to the max with every imaginable decoration that incorporated glitter, sparkle, color, texture and lights. With so many rooms occupying three floors, a large crew was needed. They guided traffic in an orderly direction and told about the theme and decorator of each room. This home would not accommodate handicapped people. Even on the first floor there were elevations of one or two steps; also, three stories with many stairs.
The living room, as most of the other rooms, have a panoramic view or Lake Michigan. I understand that the sculpture in the center is made of buttons.
Who wouldn't want to be a guest at this grand dining room?
And after dinner, enjoy a game of pool. These cue balls (ornaments) wouldn't withstand a hard crack.
And what child wouldn't have sweet dreams in this cozy bedroom?
We were quite exhausted after visiting this mansion: climbing stairs and the sheer size. There was no way to retrace our steps, so I could not go back to buy some bakery that looked appealing. But this was a wonderful experience to be able to be on the inside of this landmark building.
It’s so nice that you were able to experience this with your friends.
