I love this carpenter gothic farmhouse with the huge porch, don't you? I really can't tell whether it's a period house or a modern reproduction. Either way, it's fabulous and I'll take it! via

Blue and White Love
Interior Design : Anthony Baratta LLC | lovely blue and white wallpaper in this pretty, fresh traditional vignette with Hepplewhite or Sheraton sideboard and blue and white porcelains. This was well thought out with the look of a recessed nook and the window placement. Really nice! via

Bathroom with Great Wallpaper
I love the Lotus Smoke wallpaper in this powder room, don't you? See more photos here as well as the "before" photos of the same room. What a transformation! I know you love before and afters!

Covered Patio in a Barn
I showed a house today that had a barn with a patio inside. One whole side was open. This was in back of this house, not attached. It's always good to have a covered place for eating outside and grilling. So nice. A rolling picnic table and benches were stored in the other part of the barn. Have a great weekend. xo

An Amazing Vestibule
This has got to be one of the best entrance vestibule I have ever seen. I can't stop looking at the photo either. Is that a tile floor? I love the thin herringbone design! Love the door.
Hope you are staying cool. We have had three of the hottest days of the year with at least five more to follow before it gets down to 88° I am fine with my stack of DVDs to watch and my central air. I have it set pretty high so the house isn't like a walk-in cooler, but comfortable. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. xo photo source

A Tale of Two Whippets
I want to thank all of you for your constant thoughts about my dogless condition. I recently stumbled on a blog that will break your heart (in a good way). It's about a very talented florist in England who lost her shop dog.
You should probably get out your tissues before reading this saddest of sad blog posts.
Can you guess the happy news in this adorable photo?
Miss Pickering hasn't added any new posts to her blog in a long time but you can find her on Instagram. She is very busy and Instagram is fast and easy. Look for her there. Her pup has grown quite a bit and I wish she would post more photos of her shop helper. Hopefully she will read this and blog more about her new love. The new pup has his own Instagram account. @valentinewhippet

Really LOVE This Bathroom
I have never seen a copper farm sink used in a powder room. I love this mirror with a luggage rack on top too. It's perfect for towels. Maybe it's a nautical item. I love the window and the pocket door too. Tour this seaside cottage on the Rivera designed as a houseboat here.
Gardens behind High Hedges
How gorgeous is this? I love that there are only three colors. Green, white and blue. The hedges are beyond fabulous and quite impossible but fun to see. Have a great Friday, the gateway to the weekend. via

A Modern Farmhouse with House Tour
I love all of the exterior photos of the farmhouse pictured above. There is a very comprehensive house tour of the interior too HERE. The idea of a tour is to embrace the things you love and ignore the things you don't. If you get one good idea, that's great! Have a wonderful weekend. xo

All of The Canning Jar Cookies
Here's the whole lot of cookies being sold as they were decorated. I think these are supposed to depict fireflies inside a jar. I used to have one on my night table almost every night when I was a kid. Have a great weekend.
Summer. Canning jar cookies.

Painted Porch Floor
You know how much I love a painted floor and this one is exceptional! Happy Friday. This would be a nice place to wile away the weekend, wouldn't it? My life has been devoted lately to weeding, weeding, and more weeding. My birds are wonderful this year and I've been pulling weeds by hand. I don't spray and my gravel driveway is looking better. See you later. xo

Ladies in Lavender -- DVD Movie Recommendation
I watched this movie over the weekend and LOVED IT. For some reason I decided to look in the Foreign Films section at the library and it was filled with movies made in Great Britain in English with no subtitles. I was so happy!
Maggie Smith and Judi Dench are wonderful as is the story and the scenery. Look for it at your library or find it on Netflix. You can thank me later! Click the second photo to enlarge and read the description. xo

Queen Elizabeth II, Her Inner Majesty
I can't wait to read this article! Doesn't Queen Elizabeth II look beautiful surrounded by her favorite dogs? About those corgis: on the cover, the Queen poses with Holly (held) and, from left, Willow, Vulcan, and Candy. (The latter two are both dorgis—the crossbreed the Queen engineered when one of her corgis mated with a dachshund that belonged to her sister, Princess Margaret.) Photo for Vanity Fair by Annie Leibovitz. Full article here.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Nicely Landscaped Path and Entrance
I love this broken stone pathway with grass growing in between. I want to follow it and go in the French doors but there's a strawberry planter in the way. via
