~farmhouse love...in America~

Happy Wednesday friends!

Well summer is finally here!!

It's so nice to have the kiddos home from

school ~ and begin to enjoy the lazy

long days of summer!

the pools filled....the strawberries are

beginning to ripen.....and the S  U  N

has actually even been out!!

Now that's something to celebrate

around here! ;)

I'm loving this little bit of farmhouse

inspiration I found.....

oh to live on some land.....

that really is my dream.....

lot's of open spaces ~ with gardens in between...

is this just the cutest little potting station??

the charm of it all is just 2die4!

what is it about the old faucets and sinks?

they really evoke a feeling of nostalgia...

the inside of this home is just sweet

as can be, as well ~ classic fabrics

 and breezy window coverings....

so the antelope on the walls....

I am liking it ~ must admit....

they are antelope right??

I'm also really liking the vintage leather

chairs.....

I do suppose I'm hearing some moans and

groans with the blue dining room, eh?

well ~ yes it is a little more color than we all

like but I think it fits well in her home. 

And I am liking the travertine floors underneath...

oh ya ~ love me some travertine ~ anytime

anywhere~ :)

how about the barn wood on the wall heading

up the stairs?  I kinda like it ~ I really love

the ancestor's photos on the wall!  I'd love to do that

in our home somewhere.

ok ~ now we're gettin' somewhere....

I am in love with the simple farmhouse

bathroom.....I am in love with the simple

clawfoot tub.......

you with me??  Thought so! :)

love the simple farmhouse bedroom as well....

ahhhh can feel the gentle breeze coming through

the window......

lovely patio....I just love that wide open space~

the view.....anyone have a farmhouse for sale??

hee hee ~ jk of course.....I'll just keep pluggin'

along on my little cottage in suburbia....

Hope you all are having a wonderful start

to summer!!!

~yummy french inspiration for you~

Happy Wednesday friends!

I came across the most amazing

french home & knew you would

all be inspired by it!

It's definitely got my wheels turning......;)

{of course Mr. T & T would say "when aren't they

turning??????"  hee hee so true, so true! }

first of all ~ can I please start gluing

rock to our interior walls???

no glue? ok, then ~ how about mortar?

and craigslist?  anyone got any

big ol' beams for me?  that'll fit in the back

of my suv??

cuz I need those too......

is this kitchen just 2die4 or what?

love it.....so perfect.....

the walls are just the perfect shade too.....

and throw in a little weathered wood

and yummy linens....

~sigh~

more wood beams....and a lot of neutrals.....

patina.......

really the decor is rather simple....

not a lot of fussiness here ~ 

the natural beauty of all the surfaces and

walls is just stunning....

ok here are the 2 rooms I'm in love with....

I am just loving the little punch of color

with the faded turquoise.........

and the little bits of pink & lavender....

paired with the neutrals it's just amazing!!

totally adorable & perfect french perfection....

when I see this it re-affirms to me

"yes, this is the style you LOVE, no need

to second guess it....this is it!"

ok ~ I'm also loving the faucets here....

and what a cute door w/ the windows!?

{more wheels turning......;) }

and those darling, darling wall sconces....

pure yummmmmmmmminess!

and it looks like a little grainsack was used

for the window treatment....

~more sighs~

I'll leave you in the garden.....

with more french country perfection......

I hope you all are having a fabulous week!

See you next time :)
