bellamy mansion.

Last Friday, a friend and I had a girls' day in Wilmington, NC. We walked around historic downtown and did some shopping ($13 Gap jeans at Smithfield!), but the highlight was the Bellamy Mansion.

The front of the house is so close to the street that this was the best picture I could get.


The mansion was a little underdecorated, but this piano was my favorite by far.


These stairs went from porch to balcony on the back of the house.


Can you believe this magnolia?  It is taller than the mansion!


The back of the mansion.  Isn't it breathtaking?


If you're looking for a fabulous antebellum mansion, this is the one.  The fee was relatively inexpensive and though we didn't get a guided tour, the entire house was open and almost empty - perfect for exploring!  If you're ever in the area, you've gotta check it out!
