The library at the Biltmore House. There is so much to look at in here- the massive fireplace, the artwork above it, the painting on the ceiling, not to mention the thousands of books. OC- [3265×4898]

I got to see this in person last spring. It’s the closest thing to Belle’s library in Beauty and the Beast I’ve ever seen. Between this and the conservatory, I wouldn’t need most of the rest of the house.

This is just magical. I can’t even imagine being there in person.

How did you take the photo? I thought photography was banned inside.

I love the Biltmore. Been there many times and love it at Christmas. This is my favorite room. Love that spiral staircase in the back. That urn in the front is from the Ming dynasty. Hard to see from this picture, but the inside of the fireplace is gorgeous. It’s a herringbone brick pattern.

The Biltmore is so gorgeous when decorated for Christmas.

Looks lovely but the chairs don’t look comfortable.

I toured it in the 90’s when my folks lived in Asheville. It’s freaking amazing. The design, style, decor & craftsmanship is off the rails. “It’s a lotta house. Hope you can keep it clean.”
