I'm a little infatuated with looking at houses lately. Hubsters and I have been wanting a humble abode to call our own for a while now, and with new jobs and life going in a good direction, we're hoping to turn this American Dream into a reality. On my wish list? Well, a little bigger and more ornate than we can afford right now in this area, but if I'm dreaming why not dream BIG, right?!
Great fire pit, right? Amazing windows, too. And, I love that the hill gives the house
three stories!
Dark paint, rich wood, bright white trim, tucked-away drive - so cozy.
Thick white trim with stone work, circular drive, painted boards on exterior...
Here we are again - more stone, more white trim, fab windows, and a really cool door! I'm sensing a theme...
On a slightly more traditional note - I like the dark shutters and stone work, plus the simple evergreen landscaping seem lovely without a ton of extra care needed. Hubby would like that!
pinterestGoing more "beach", I love the porch and pale grey shingles. A balcony and bright hydrangeas don't hurt, either!
Okay, now we're starting to dream a little big here - three story, lakeside, tons of windows for light, and plenty of room for all my family to visit! Heck, they could have their own wing!
So pretty! Love the big, deep porch and dormers. Amazing that this is named someone's summer "cottage". Wow.
Going Euro - oh man, this is
gorgeous! I'm not even going to name everything I love about this...I'm sure you love it just as much!
Um, yeah. W-O-W. I can see Mr. Darcy walking out those front doors now...
And finally, my semi-realistic dream house (as pictured, 'cause the full size is, like, three times this size):
BAM!
Thick white columns, greige shingles, soft turquoise door, porch, balcony...and you haven't even seen the inside (have you?). It's ideal, I tell you.
