I agree. I like this house very much, too. But, it's not for sale. No wonder. If it were mine, I never would part with it.

Hi! I stumbled on your blog looking up landscaping of all things. I have a boring yard with a colonial style and was looking for yard ideas. I loved this picture! I wouldn't have thought you could really put a picket fence with a colonial house.
P.S. Have you ever seen an old movie called Mrs. Miniver? Her house is my absolute favorite. I have a weakness for English houses. Her bedroom is to die for! I love the movie too! Another old movie, In the Good Ol' Summertime with Judy Garland - her bedroom is fabulous too. Also, real cute movie. Just had to throw that out there!
