Cottage for Sale, Must be Moved | Currently Reading


[Click either photo to enlarge]

Sometimes I think I definitely have a fairy god mother who puts books I might like in the free book bin at the Post Office. I actually pounced on this one like a hen on a June bug as they say in the south. I just started it and love it already. Perfect reading for a hot almost summer day. It is sizzling outside at 92 degrees. I have a fan blowing directly at my face so I'm fine.

A Pond Would Be Fun

I never want another swimming pool after having had one. They are too much work but I wouldn't mind having a pond. This one appears to be a natural swimming hole too. My new listing has one that is full of bull frogs and I love sitting at open houses hearing them croak all day.

Four Story Townhouse With Cozy Interior Design

The renovation of this 4 story townhouse in center Park Slope is one of the first projects by The Brooklyn Home Company. It’s a great example how cool could be combination of vintage and modern elements in the one interior. The main color theme in this interior is a combination of white and natural wood of different hues. It works very well and everything looks very cozy and livable. The home is flooded with natural light through double hung windows. Click on the link to see a 12-photo slide show of this amazing renovation. I could have posted each and every one of the photos I liked them all so much. You will too...guaranteed!

Serene Getaway House in the Forest


Serene Getaway House in the Forest | Interior Designs And Home Ideas: Allandale House is a modern serene getaway home in the forest. Based on the classic A-frame, the extreme modern version of the cabin was constructed for an idiosyncratic connoisseur and her family. The vacation home is small, but contains enough storage space for collections of rare artifacts, books, wines, and stuffed animals, including forest dwelling elk and birds.

Click on the link to see more views of the inside and outside of this interesting house in the forest. I would require at least one very comfortable chair and ottoman and a reading lamp to go with all those books. The kitchen isn't even pictured. These people probably just read all the time and eat wild mushrooms from the forest floor.
