New House Looks Old Birmingham, AL

That old world charm coupled with fantastic traditional interiors and a nice balance of masculine and feminine qualities, this Birmingham, Alabama abode is an absolute stunner. Built for the architect himself, this was constructed by James F. Carter with interior design by Jane Hawkins Hoke. Image courtesy of James F. Carter. More views here at his website. Click on the word VIEW in the logo to see all of his work. I think most of the interior photos in the slideshow are of this amazing house. Swoon!

Looks nice, doesn't it?

City Dwellers Love Pumpkins Too

These three stoops are in Boston. They are all taking fall decor to the next level that easily transitions into Halloween. via It is raining like crazy at my cottage as I await watching 60 Minutes on CBS and The Durrells in Corfu and The Collection on PBS. Enjoy your Sunday evening too.

Enchanting Home

Use your imagination to envision Halloween decorations here. I want to see this lovely shingled home when the leaves are off the tree hiding the upper stories. That's what I love about fall and winter with bare trees. It really is the perfect time to house hunt so you can really see what you're buying. See you later. xo via

XO Gate

This beautiful gate greets you with hugs and kisses every time you pass through. xo via

Gorgeous House and Setting

Simply wonderful house in the perfect setting. The addition on the right would be perfect for me. Have a great weekend. via

Inside and Outside Simultaneously

I love French doors that open out but you have to consider deep snow if you live in the Northeast. This setting is stunning and I am sure the interior is too. via

Porch with Fireplace

This is the perfect time of year for a porch like this. Bring on the hot chocolate, marshmallows on a stick, and hot spiced cider. via

Blue Door and More

Wonderful Outdoor Shower

I love outdoor showers and this one is really unique and quite wonderful. Showering outside is truly one of life's simple pleasures. via

Nicest Canopy Over Doorway, Ever

This is the best design I have seen for adding some protection from the weather over a doorway without building an addition. Found here on Instagram from the firm in England that made it and the zinc planter also.

New Home in Williamsburg

The Simpson House

Yes, please. I love this new reproduction home in Colonial Williamsburg. Want to see more? A lot more? Click here. It's much larger than it looks. Wait until you see the back view. Love!!!!

Wonderful Landscape Design

I love this simple bluestone path with patches of grass between each stone. Click to see more delightful photos from this Doyle Herman Design Associates project in Southport Connecticut.

Twig Fence

My favorite. Wattle fencing. via

I love the look and this would be a fun project too.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend! xo

Rose Trellis with Benches

You don't see this old-fashioned trellis these days, do you? The built-in benches are so charming and such a good idea. The aroma must be fabulous too when sitting there in the shade chatting with a friend. via

Small Sophistication Churchill Cottage, Birmingham MI

This small home is absolutely gorgeous.

Agreed? I love it too!

I have not been able to find interior pics but found more of the outside here.

Beautiful Home

This is the ultimate in curb appeal.

I love the black door and the Versailles planters.

The bay window is perfection.

Love it all.

White Patio Furniture

So gorgeous. White furniture on a gray flagstone patio surrounded by green. My favorite combination. via

Dark Green Shutters and Door

I have always liked this dark green that looks almost black but have never used it because it is so very popular in my area and I always wanted to be a little different. I like the high gloss paint because it sheds the water so nicely. via

Have a great weekend.
