Home...

I came across a quote that I just loved this weekend.

"A house is built of walls and beams.

   A home is built with love and dreams."

{edit: this is not my home, although I would take it any day}

Happy Monday to you.

Take Me To The Ranch...

Ranch style homes I adore. Why is it that "most" (not all) of the new constructions leave out the charm that these homes ooze. I love driving through the neighborhood with all of the mature trees, and houses full of character. Here are a few homes that caught my eye.

Random Prettiness...

Just a few beautiful photos to brighten any Monday.

Timeless.

Love this chartreuse door!

I have to say I love the mix of all of the styles in this one.

Can I Move In...

I could certainly wake up a happy women here every day! Although I may become a hermit, with such a pretty place I would never want to leave. Talk about a sanctuary!

Mark It Down...

So when the day comes to build or remodel my dream home these are a few

 of my must haves.

Recessed panel white cabinets and a few glass fronts:

OOHHH and notice that blue wall, you know I am loving it.

Gotta love arched doorways and a porch you can sit and relax on.

I am compiling my list you know. Are you?

Warm Welcome...

Lovely Entrances... 

Love the painted mat on this one, along with everything else.
