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.

Zen Things & My First Gif

Really good advice. I need to work on my indoor cleaning skills. via

I made my first GIF that I really like. It was easy to put it on Instagram but I can't figure out how to put it on my blog. See it HERE. I cannot believe today is the last day of April. It went too fast.

Porches and Pergolas

I found a wonderful article with many different cottage home styles featuring porches and pergolas. I liked each and every one too. Floor plans pictured in quite a few. Click here to read more. Have a great weekend.

This cottage has gardens.

Dark Green Shutters and Door

I have always liked this dark green that looks almost black but have never used it because it is so very popular in my area and I always wanted to be a little different. I like the high gloss paint because it sheds the water so nicely. via

Have a great weekend.
