This entrance hall is so beautiful. I love the big windows on either and the transom lights above. I would love to see this from the outside looking in, wouldn't you? via

Early Morning Light on My Fireplace
Happy Friday everyone. Webster is still in bed and I'm having my morning quiet time with my first cup of coffee. It's cool and crisp with nice sunshine and the feeling of fall in the air. Enjoy the last day of August and, for some, the beginning of the long Labor Day weekend. I took this photo with my iPhone. The new model is coming out next month but I'm still thrilled with the one I have (the 4S) so I won't be rushing to get a replacement. It's time for my second cup of java now -- see you later.

New Cottage - Reclaimed Materials
Traditional Exterior design by Minneapolis Architect Murphy and Co. Design. I love the rain chains and the no maintenance exterior. See a tour of this delightful cottage called The Gatehouse in Minnesota here (click on portfolio).
Comfortable Chairs All Around
This is a nice conversation area, isn't it? Comfy chairs all around in a lovely sun-filled room. via

Montauk Long Island
I love the unassuming country drive with the grass growing up the middle, don't you? The shingle style homes from the Hamptons to Montauk are fabulous. Are you enjoying the last few days of August? via
Old Garden Shovel Handle Detail
I found an old Nikon photo I took in my back garden several years ago. This old gardening shovel has a cracked handle so I use it as a perch for the birds.
Beautiful Foyer in Aspen
Aspen foyer by Mcalpine Tankersley via Pinterest. I love it all. The door is especially nice as is the paint color but the door hardware looks too low to me. I would have to bend over to open it.

Trinity College Library Dublin Ireland
Long room in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. This is simply wonderful if you love antiquarian books as much as I do! via
Almost Perfect Bedroom
I would add reading lights to the sides of the bookcases and would require a TV on the wall opposite the foot of the bed. Otherwise, it's perfect. Agreed? I'm up on the third floor paying bills and looking at saved photos. I think I must have already blogged this and I have no idea of the photo source. Those old boards with the great patina on the ceiling must have been old floorboards from the attic. I love the cozy size of the room. My own bedroom is about this size. I have bookcases and a television on the far wall. And a window on each side of the bed.

You can never have too many drawers, can you? I love this bank of drawers at the end of a kitchen island so much better than the usual bookcase for cookbooks. This would be so much more useful. Everything else in the room is pretty wonderful too. via
