Vietnam House was another stop during Doors Open; the link from yesterday's post had other images from this residence and embassy space. These shots of the dining and living rooms were extra shots in my folders. I didn't notice the fire extinguisher until the other day.
very pretty decor.
ReplyDeletelove the chandelier and the couch :)
ReplyDeleteSpacious, clean houses you'll quickly see.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
I like the sofa in the 2nd shot :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the fire extinguisher, William! :-) Probably code, like here in the States.
ReplyDeleteWell in any case they are prepared for the worst.
ReplyDeleteJust in case something burns on the dinner table? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room. That fire extinguisher does seem a bit out of place sitting there. How funny.
ReplyDeleteThis is not really my taste, but I had to laugh about the fire extinguisher.
ReplyDeleteI remember your exterior shot of this building and that it was very beautiful. The fire extinguisher is pretty funny. I wonder if someone set it down there temporarily and then forgot about it! :)
ReplyDeletepretty and i love your title!
ReplyDeleteIt is well furnished, which makes sense, since Vietnam makes so much of the furniture we are buying these days in North America.
ReplyDeleteSweet place!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very traditional.
ReplyDeleteAlways best to be prepared hey William :) this looks like a very comfortable residence.
ReplyDeleteQuite elegant and traditional!
ReplyDeleteI only noticed a fire extinguisher after I posted a photo on my blog the other day! LOL!
ReplyDelete@Tex: I thought so.
ReplyDelete@Jen: so did I.
@Tomas: indeed.
@Karl: it has character.
@Revrunner: Most likely.
@Marianne: they are.
@Ciel: yes, we can't have that!
@Sharon: now I do wonder if it belongs there or should be somewhere else.
@Jan: it's peculiar how we overlook things.
@Lowell: that could be.
ReplyDelete@Tanya: I sometimes come up with odd titles.
@Jack: that is true.
@Luis: I thought so.
@Marleen: yes it does.
@Grace: it does feel that way.
@VP: elegant indeed.
@Jose: the things we don't see at first, huh?
Nice that the table and floors match.
ReplyDeleteInteresting light!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rooms!
ReplyDeleteI love that table. What a great place to clip and sort coupons.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have much of an Asian flair to it, does it? Very nice though.
ReplyDelete@Linda: definitely!
ReplyDelete@Linda: the place does let in a lot of light.
@Norma: I certainly thought so.
@Whisk: that would certainly be an alternate use!
@RedPat: well the overall design of the house predates the diplomatic mission, but the statues on the cabinet have an Asian aspect.
Haha. Seriously, that would be a killer space. Or I can use it to block the sliding doors, where zombies might otherwise, break in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a well-manicured home!
ReplyDeleteHa, yes!
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu

It is a lovely place, it would be nice to have a meal in that dining room, knowing how safety conscious they are there ;) a safe place to eat!
ReplyDeleteLovely! And the fire extinguisher is obvious to add that special personal touch!
ReplyDeletewhat a golden opportunity to get to see these places in person!
ReplyDeleteSince you called my attention to the fact that there was a fire extinguisher, I saw it right away. Odd place. Why not in a cabinet?
ReplyDelete@Whisk: thanks! I think...
ReplyDelete@Halcyon: it certainly is.
@Cloudia: thanks for stopping in.
@Denise: it would an ideal dining room.
@Cheryl: it's definitely unexpected.
@Greensboro: it certainly is.
@Mari: I wonder if it might have been placed there for the weekend as a just in case.
I wonder if they use a lot of candles and the fire extinguisher is there just in case.
ReplyDeletePossibly.
DeleteIt looks so swanky, except for the fire extinguisher!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately better safe than sorry.
DeleteI'm with Lowell: someone probably swept through saying, "Oh, we've got to get this put away," an then got called to put out another proverbial fire...I can't imagine this was where it was intended for an emergency.
ReplyDeleteThat could be.
DeleteI like the statues sitting next to the extinguisher. It is an odd spot for an extinguisher, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it was misplaced and belongs in a kitchen nearby.
