~lyndhurst mansion~

Last weekend, we hopped in the car and took a short ride to Tarrytown, NY to visit Lyndhurst Mansion.  If you're not familiar with it, Lyndhurst is a gothic revival mansion that was once home to Jay Gould, William Paulding and George Merritt.  

Lyndhurst was on my list of things to do since last year!  They did a marvelous job dressing it up for Halloween.  I got a ton of ideas for next year!

This is in the foyer.  But it gets better...

The "sitting room."

How'd you like a seance with these creepy characters?!

The dining room.  Note to self: stock up on velvet for next Halloween.

The fireplace in the dining room.

Stained glass window overlooking the property.

How's this for a view?

If you're in NY or popping by on a cruise, definitely check out Lyndhurst Mansion.  It was gorgeous.  I hear they do an even more spectacular job for Christmas.
