Too Wonderful for Wordless

We went here again on Saturday.  Once again, I decided that I needed to head home, pack up, grab Mr. French, B, the pets, and move to the country.  The problem is that I think it may be perfect Barn House that has this effect on me and I am pretty sure the boys aren't going anywhere.  Joe and Jermonne were gracious as all get out and gave us a tour of their idyllic country home.  This post is brimming over with photos...enjoy!  
Barn House: the Barn Sale















































Barn House: The Home






























Joe and Jermonne, 
Thank you for the morning and allowing the crazy camera woman into your lives.  

Warmly, Mrs. French

Looks like it was a beautiful day at a beautiful spot. Love the stone pig at the end!

vana chupp said...

wow....you did take many pictures...and i loved each and every one of them. The laundry room has to be my fav spot.

Sandra Ree said...

Enjoyed all the pictures! But the mushrooms, and the seashells, really caught my eye!

"La LA La la La la" I am singing your praises, can you hear Mrs. French? You are too good to us! All these wonderful photos, I feel (almost) like we were there with you(if only) what a treat on Sunday! My favorites are: the laundry on the line(for sale I assume!), the cement mushrooms( I recently bought some almost just like those!),that petite shell on the pink top, the old radio(?), the gate, the flowers.....and then their home is so lovely and warm and my favorites are the beautiful divan which looks like the perfect place to read and dream! and those shaving brushes all in a row! Divine! I love it! Thanks to those lovely guys for letting you in and thank YOU sweetie for sharing it all with us!!! Happy Sunday!
xoxo

i smiled most at the hanging hats.

Ciara said...

Ooo. I completely understand that urge to pack up and move somewhere like this. Imagine living there. Sigh...

quaint handmade said...

viva la barn house! and, we're at the point where we have to be extremely selective with our collecting (one thing in means one thing out). your photos help me get my vintage fix; they're just great!

Cicada Studio said...

Is seems so idyllic. I'd visit every weekend if I could. Yay for you for getting a first hand peek at their lovely house- and double yay for sharing it with us!

Leah said...

THAT is my dream home! All the sweet nooks and crannies - all so warm and cozy! I swoon over Barn House blog and you now have me passed out on the floor. I can't handle not being able to visit!

I have never seen a wreath made out of feathers before. Loved it, and your photo of the shaving brushes was beautiful!

jozette said...

Beautiful photos and so fun to look at. Those bedrooms look so cozy.

Karen said...

We saw you at the show, we were taking pics, too, tho' not as well-done, but enough for good memories of a wonderful day! Hope you don't mind, I added you to my favorites. We'll have to check your blog to see what goes on up in that part of the state. We're farther down the Columbia, but LOVE to get out and see how others live. Thanks for all the great photos! Karen

Victoria said...

Amazing photos! You must have felt like you were in heaven. I am in love with how that home looks. Especially the small bedroom with the angled bed. What a perfect hideaway!

Barn House said...

You are TOOOO KIND!!!! You are TOOO wonderful for coming SOOO early to capture these amazing pix for us!!!!! Yeah, Little Byrd told us you ain't much of a morning person (sorry if we spilt the beans)...so we OWE YOU BIG for this one!!! ;o) We hope to make it up to you when you, "Mr. French", Little Byrd and "Mr. Little Byrd" come out for our little shin-dig. We can't wait!!! We LOVE company!!! Now, who is the designated driver????

Beautiful -- especially the bottles and shells! I need to check out antique shops for old bottles. We collect sand from beaches we've visited, but I have started collecting the bottles for their display yet...

Oh my Mrs.French that house is AMAZING; Look at that cute corner where you can relax and read, my dream place...

Those are amazing, you better stop posting such amazing photos or I am REALLY going to want to move to Portland.

Bonbon Oiseau said...

What a beautiful post-love all the pictures--but I want...everything.

Is this outside of Portland? When is the next sale?? It looked amazing!

Oh MY LORD. Wow. Just wow. I'm pretty much in love with everything in each shot. I've starred this one in my reader...I can't get enough!!

please sir said...

Wow, wow, wow! You know I am loving this post! Great finds and lots of wonderfulness - is that a word? If not, it is now!

Ann Marie said...

Oh, how lovely! When can I move in?

mayaluna said...

You've done it again...introduced me to something that has instantly become a favorite..thank you, thank you! You've gone and made my whole week with these phenomenal photos. I have a special spot in my heart for this vintage, primitive, rusty, rustic, ethereal, cozy, breezy, nostalgic aesthetic. As, I'm sure you can imagine,the name Barn House got me so excited. I sent my "barn house" mother right over here to Bliss to check it out! Thanks for the continued loveliness!

projectecoart said...

Great pics! I love them all!

Uncle Beefy said...

Oh, Mrs. French...this is merely cruelty disguised as beauty! Why? WHY do you leave me alone with such temptations? Do you delight in my geographical proximity of being close but far? Or is it your desire to make me feel a bit lesser about my own surroundings by longing for these?

Whatever it is...cruelty can be sweet! Sigh...swoon...faint (thud!).

;)

(Beautiful!!!!)

That's an awful lot of gorgeousness right there. -Julia

The Lil Bee said...

When's your Etsy shop going up, Frenchie? I mean, seriously.

And what kind of camera do you have? I need to get as close to that loveliness as possible.

d.Sharp said...

This looks so great - that's it, I am marking the next event on my calender!

Tartelette said...

What a gorgeous place. I just took a 30 minute trip in the middle of the day. Thank you!

Garden Antqs Vintage said...

Wow, thank you so much for showing us their house, just fabulous. I found you through their blog.

Alyssa said...

I am in love with this barn/home/space! Where exactly is this located?? I try to get out to Oregon once a year and would LOVE to visit this shop! It is a shop, right?? Inspiring photos:)

simplesong said...

A-MA-ZING! I'd go crazy at a place like that. Thanks for sharing your more than lovely photos!
