September Already?

I am not ready, are you?

Blue Cabinetry

I love the hanging corner cupboard. Is this a butler's pantry or a kitchen, or a mud room?I can/t really tell. via

Best Kitchen Ever

The airy kitchen opens to a sitting room and hearth with windows that overlook the Potomac. Read and See More: Inside A West Virginia Time Piece via Garden and Gun.

Gorgeous Bedroom

I absolutely cannot wait to jump into my own bed after a day of constant running around and accomplishing quite a lot. Tired. via

Blueberry Cherry Patriotic Pie

Blueberries and Dark Sweet Cherries are still in season so why not bake this pie for Memorial Day? Vanilla ice cream would complete the red, white, and blue flag theme. Just a thought! via

Pantry Entrance Display

Sometimes you just want to display your favorite things, and this is a wonderful way to do it. Love the sliding pocket doors into the pantry. via

Wonderful Outdoor Shower

I love outdoor showers and this one is really unique and quite wonderful. Showering outside is truly one of life's simple pleasures. via

Overgrown Potting Shed

This is a little overgrown but still charming. I have to do one more weeding in my own garden and then I am going to pile on the woodchips and kiss it goodbye until spring. photo source

Fabulous greenhouse/orangerie

This small greenhouse/orangerie is full of wonderful things to lust over. The terra cotta pots from England are of special interest to me. via

Lakeside Cottage in Belgium built on a budget

De Rosee Sa are a hands-on London architecture and design practice. Led by husband-and-wife duo, Max De Rosee and Claire Sa, they recently completed a lakeside cabin for De Rosee’s parents that the team not only designed but also built themselves. What’s more, De Rosee’s environmentalist father milled the wood himself from trees on the property that had been felled in a storm several years earlier. Total budget: £25,000 ($36,281)—it pays to have an architect in the family.

See many more pics (outside and inside) here and learn about the "stain" used to darken and seal the clapboard😊😊😊

Courtyard Garden w/ Raised Beds

I love this kitchen and herb garden close to the house, don't you? via SPECIAL NOTE: Please keep your pets inside during the total eclipse tomorrow. They don't know not to look at the sun.

Endeavour, Season 4 on Sunday night August 20th

I usually wait until the last minute to notify you of something new coming on PBS.  Endeavour, Season 4 is on tomorrow night. So happy.

The 4th series begins in the summer of 1967, with barely a fortnight having passed since the events of the Series 3 finale. We find Oxford’s finest picking up the pieces of their lives, both personal and professional. As Thursday and wife, Win, struggle to process the departure of both their daughter Joan and son, Sam, who has joined the army, Endeavour waits nervously to hear the result of his Sergeant’s exam. Throwing himself into his work to mask the heartache of Joan leaving, Endeavour is quickly consumed by his duties with an array of new, perplexing cases landing on his desk.

Another Great Covered Doorway

This arched canopy over the door would certainly do a great job of protecting you from the rain while you look for your keys. I also like the understated light fixture and the small ledges that were built for the beautiful zinc planters. via
