Fabulous Architecture in Connecticut
This new construction in Connecticut is fabulous. I love this small outbuilding with the wonderful entrance. Robert Courturier photography
Enjoy watching Downton Abbey tonight. I can't wait!
Webster Loves Sunday Mornings
Saturday, January 19, 2013
Tabitha has really settled into being my cat. She's really more like a dog in many respects. She knows exactly how to tell me what she wants and her wish is my command. She was relaxing on top of a loose sofa cushion this morning when I snapped this photo. Darkness has descended on the cottage and she just led me to the door to let her out for a before-dinner walk. Webster just finished dinner and I'll be walking him in a few. Have a good weekend. See you tomorrow.
Paul and Linda McCartney
This is a delight - a photo shoot with Linda photographing Paul singing. She harmonizes a little too. It's a very intimate glimpse into what they had together as a couple.
Click here if you are unable to see this charming video or if you want a larger view. She was so beautiful. Have a great weekend.

Château de Vaux le Vicomte
Did you know that the Château de Vaux le Vicomte, to the east of Paris, was one of the main sources of inspiration for the Château de Versailles? It is surrounded by the most elegant and geometrically harmonious of all high Baroque gardens. Have you been? via

Mini Ice Storm at My Cottage
Everything is covered with a thin glaze of ice and it's a very gray day. Nothing has melted even though it doesn't seem that cold when I'm out in it with Webster. I took these photos mid morning and now it's mid afternoon. The salt trucks were out this morning so the roads are black. I took the first two photos with my iPhone while I was outside and the second two with my Nikon from inside the house.
Great Outdoor Shower Head
I have to restore my outdoor shower this year....for sure. I have a big shower head but not this big. Love the vine too. via
Black and White Kitchen
Here is a delightful kitchen and butler's pantry all decked out in black and white. I love the collection of Staffordshire dogs on the windowsill over the sink and the fabulous basket on wheels next to island. Actually, I can't find one single thing I don't like. It's absolutely perfect. I woke up to a surprise dusting of snow this morning with small icicles hanging everywhere. The animals weren't wild about putting their warm, toasty paws on the front walk and they didn't stay out very long either. via

Red and White Checks
I am partial to blue and white but decided to give some equal time to red and white checks on a kitchen floor and on cabin beds.
Wonderful Cottage with House Plans
House plans available from Southern Living. This sweet cottage is called Deer Run. The size is 973 square feet of heated space. Looks perfect, doesn't it? The stone foundation is a nice touch.

Amazing Colonial with Snow
This antique colonial is amazing in its simplicity isn't it? The grounds look wonderful too. Wish I could see more. I had a very busy day today after a pretty lazy weekend. Click on the photo to see it full size for the greatest wow factor. via
Goodnight from the Qoukka
This animal is called a Quokka and it is the happiest thing on the planet. It smiles 24/7. Such a sweet looking animal. Two more photos here. It's from Australia and is about the size of a domestic cat.
The Eyes Have It.
Whooooo is looking at you?
Have you ever seen such an amazing grouping of owl eyes? I haven't. What a nice family portrait! The parents have very long moustaches and beards that completely hide their beaks. Wonder why? via
Small Cooking Space
This is a very well thought out small kitchen. I love the charcoal wall and the stainless steel island. Very nice indeed! via
