There are so many things to love here, I hardly know where to start. Of course, my favorite thing is the nook with the stool and one-person table or desk. I think there might be another one on the opposite side, but I'm not positive. Have a great long Memorial Day Weekend. The rainy spell is finally over and I'm happy about that. My peonies are starting to bloom too. I'll post some photos later. xo

Fun Vintage Kitchen
I love this old gas stove! There is absolutely nothing "staged" here and isn't that refreshing? via
It's actually in an AirB&B cottage in Nashville and this kitchen is about to be remodeled. Boo Hoo.

A George Washington Collection
The 35 framed antique images of George Washington in Victoria's (The Queen Vee) new cottage in Utah. This photo was posted on Instagram where she is known as @queenv47 and she mentioned it in a recent comment on my blog. It took her 5 hours to hang this arrangement and I think she did a good job, don't you? It's always fun to see the efforts of someone you know, even a virtual friend! Two thumbs up, Victoria. xo

Architectural Aviary
This structure is absolutely amazing, agreed? The best of both worlds for the birds too. via I had a very busy weekend working outside in preparation for a rainy week. Monday's morning rain made me glad I pushed myself. xo

Hallway with a Nautical Feel
The bannister newel post makes this entrance hall really special.
The newel post was fitted with a light that turns it into an indoor lighthouse. See many more photos of this lovely family home here.

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

China Closet or Pantry?
I would need another like this with solid doors for food storage and kitchen items. I would like deeper shelves, please. via

Larder Lust: Best Butler's Pantry
This photo stopped me in my tracks. It is the best larder I have ever seen. Call it a pantry if you must but larder sounds better for such a magnificent room. via

The Perfect Pink Camellia
Camellia japonica 'Ave Maria' photo source
I honestly don't think I have ever seen a more perfect flower. Can a perfect pink camellia be a little too perfect, asks Susie Steiner? Read more here: Camellia japonica 'Ave Maria': The perils of pink perfection

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.
Antique Stone Potting Sink
This is so perfect.
I always end up using my kitchen sink.
I really do have to set up something outside as there is a lot of repotting to do here at the cottage.
Happy gardening.

White Patio Furniture
So gorgeous. White furniture on a gray flagstone patio surrounded by green. My favorite combination. via
Lovely Roofline
There is so much to love here, actually everything. The gable-end chimney, the dormer, the roofline with decorations, the small size and the sophistication of it all. It's a winner, for sure. via

Garden Cottage
I adore this little garden cottage with benches, firepit, arbor and the most wonderful raised bed full of flowers and vegetables. It looks almost too small to be a real dwelling but maybe it is. Maybe it's a guest cottage. Anyway, it's adorable and I love it. via

Wonderful View
I wouldn't get any work done at this desk with that wonderful view. I have fierce clouds overhead right now and they are very dark, but moving fast. My phone says there is a 50% chance of rain and it will be over by morning. We'll see. Have a nice evening. It's TV time for me. Have to go watch Antiques Roadshow. xo
Hammock Love on May Day
Imagine having this yard, so beautifully landscaped, with two perfectly spaced trees just begging for a hammock. This must be paradise. Happy May Day.
