Home in Belgium

<div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes I hesitate before posting a home. It might be because one or two of the rooms are not my style or there is something I definitely don't like even though I might love the rest of the house. Well, on this occasion this is my dilemma. I am against the display of dead animals, be it a head upon a wall or a hide on the floor. However, I've chosen to post it because I love the home more than I dislike stuffed animals (maybe the duck isn't stuffed?) and animal heads on walls.<br /><br />So, here you have it, a lovely home in Belgium, just a few km from Brussels.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="zoom" href="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320441.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[artykul]" title="With a view to peace"><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320441.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320441.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out; width: 900px; height: 587px;" /><br /></a><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320443.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320443.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out; width: 870px; height: 1338px;" /><br /><br /><a class="zoom" href="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320441.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[artykul]" title="With a view to peace"><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320422.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320422.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out; width: 900px; height: 1005px;" /></a><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320425.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320425.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320424.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320424.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320427.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320427.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320428.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320428.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320429.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320429.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out; width: 901px; height: 925px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320445.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320445.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320446.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320446.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320432.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320432.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320435.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320435.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320437.jpg" src="http://www.kochamwies.pl/images/articles/original/13873_1306320437.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And today I'd also like to thank my friend Greet from <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.com/2012/06/images-i-love-because-of.html">Belgian Pearls</a> who is a sweetie pie and recommended Inspiring Interiors to her readers in her <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.com/2012/06/images-i-love-because-of.html">post yesterday</a>.
