Best Guesthouse Ever

Yes, please. I have always loved a settle bench at the front door. This guesthouse in the Hamptons is charming! The main house is large and very nice with an understated classic interior filled with antiques. See it too in the link below.

The guest cottage has a cozy living room off the kitchen.

Lakeside Cottage in Belgium built on a budget




De Rosee Sa are a hands-on London architecture and design practice. Led by husband-and-wife duo, Max De Rosee and Claire Sa, they recently completed a lakeside cabin for De Rosee’s parents that the team not only designed but also built themselves. What’s more, De Rosee’s environmentalist father milled the wood himself from trees on the property that had been felled in a storm several years earlier. Total budget: £25,000 ($36,281)—it pays to have an architect in the family.
See many more pics (outside and inside) here and learn about the "stain" used to darken and seal the clapboard😊😊😊

Do You Prefer The Deck or The Beach?

These people are ready for summer, aren't they? The decks have been repaired and you can walk all the way to the beach without having your feet touch the sand. What a spot! via

Do you have vacation plans?

What happened to June? Can you believe today is the last day and this is actually the week of July 4th? Time flies when you aren't looking. via

Coastal Maine Century Old Cottage

The shingled cottage on Southport Island, Maine, was built more than a century ago and is as close to the water as you can get on this rocky coastline.

Owner/designer Libby Cameron painted the staircase banister and treads in Benjamin Moore's Chrome Green. Most of the floors all over the rambling cottage are painted this color too. I like it!

The long built-in bench in the sitting room is where people sit and talk on the only phone in the house.

The owner's favorite place to sit. There is a screened porch alongside for outdoor dining. Want to see more? There's a slideshow here showing the carefree and charming interior. You'll love it!!!

Black with A Touch of White

I don't know why, but this house fascinates me. I want to go inside and check it out. Remember when I was trying to decide what color to paint my cottage and I was thinking of a dark color? I'm glad I went with all white. 



It's very interesting inside too. This cabin in Quebec is a rental. See more photos here. All photos by Jean Longpré.

Lake House in the Snow

What a beautiful photo. It captures the quiet and stillness of the idyllic scene perfectly. It must be the first snow of the season because the water isn't frozen. My snow has melted and I'm glad. Have a great evening and I'll see you tomorrow. via

Road Trip

Do you have plans to get away this summer? This car appears to be packed for camping. I hope they don't run into the killer mosquitoes I talked about yesterday. They aren't so bad today because there's a strong breeze. via
