Country Cupboard in Blue Paint

I love everything I see in this beautiful room. via Happy Friday!

Cozy Antique Room

What a nice peek into a period room with period antiques and an open fire. Perfect for fall and the upcoming winter. via

Fried Apple Rings

I haven't had breakfast yet. These apple rings dipped in a yogurt batter and fried made my mouth water. Great donut alternative. See more photos and get the recipe here. xo

Traditional Home with Greenhouse

This Baker Greenhouse backs up to a 100 acre nature preserve.

Front view of the gorgeous greenhouse with standard hydrangeas in pots. Read the article and see photos of the beautiful traditional home, inside and out, in Atlanta Homes. Enjoy!

BEST Owl Photo

Owls and Halloween go together, don't they? This is the best barn owl photo I have ever seen. via

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope it's spooktacular!

Sliding Interior Shutters

Is this a perfect room, or what? Love the comfy chair and ottoman with a little table beside and a reading lamp behind. And the view!!! I can't imagine a better one, can you. Now the icing on the cake is the interior sliding louvered shutters.  Look carefully, the valance going across the top of the window hides the track. Genius! Such a clever way to block the sun when it gets too bright but allow air to get in. LOVE! via

It was very warm today, almost hot. I zipped through the grocery store this afternoon and almost everybody was wearing shorts and flip flops. It's a little cooler now and raining. Some of the trees are completely bare, some are still green with all their leaves, and others have their fall colors and half their leaves. It's still too early for my final gutter cleaning. I want ALL the leaves on the ground first. xo

Double Decker Sliding Barn Doors

I still like this sliding barn door trend, especially on this converted barn/home. via

I woke up early after a half day of mowing yesterday and I'm almost finished with my fall cleanup. I was shocked into getting it finished after I saw photos of an early dusting of snow in Connecticut and upstate New York this week. It is unusually warm today and that's good for the trick or treaters. Happy Halloween. xo

Lovely Conservatory

YES, Yes, and yes to everything I see in this photo. The conservatory is especially nice. via
