Magness House, Sparta Street, McMinnville, Tennessee

What's on my dream home wish list? A great location, a sunny kitchen... oh, and one of the rooms should have a stained glass ceiling.

This beauty stopped me in my tracks, and I knew I couldn't leave McMinnville, Tennessee without sharing it with you. (See my previous McMinnville posts here and here.) This is Magness House- a circa 1835 Greek Revival mansion, originally named Oakham for -you guessed it- the huge oak trees on the property.

 Magness House became an antique center in the 1980's, which gives us some idea how to furnish such a grand room:

...then tucking a cozy table between the windows:
