Lovely Understated British Kitchen

She Shed for Recharging Your Battery

Isn't this delightful? I keep reading about She Sheds for all the women whose husbands have a Man Cave. This one looks fabulous. Sometimes you just need to get away without going very far for some peace and quiet. Nobody gets enough sleep these days and this little shed might help with that. via

Wonderful Seaside View

What a window. What a view, almost hauntingly beautiful. Love the fishnet curtain. via

An Authentic English Tudor Cottage

Ancient but still standing. via

English Tudor Cottage

UPDATE: ALL OF THESE PHOTOS HAVE DISAPPEARED 
I did not save them to my computer.
With its sloping roof, stone facade and tall windows, this appealing timbered cottage looks as though it belongs in the English countryside. Total living area = 1,695 sq. ft.
The romantic feeling continues in the living room, open to the second floor, with its large raised-hearth fireplace and French doors that lead to a side patio. There are also French doors to the outside in the dining room and first-floor bedroom.
The well-equipped kitchen provides a pass-through counter to the dining room.
The upstairs loft can be closed off as a third bedroom, while the carport can easily be converted to a den, family room or an enclosed garage. Also, with correct site location, the rear of the house is suited to a greenhouse room.
Foundation: slab.
