my happy place: mount shadows

eep...I think I maybe in trouble.  I believe I choose a home based on my mood, the time of year, or my level of warmth.  homes are not like clothing...you cannot change them based on how you are feeling at that exact moment.  I can't have open and airy one minute and small, warm and cozy the next.  I am thinking that rather than trying to have a cohesive home I may need to change it up a bit.  I need a room for each moment or mood...my poor husband is going to go completely nuts!

at this particualar moment I am looking for a comfortable, big-hug of a cottage...







so soothing I can barely handle it.  actually, I don't think I would ever tire of living this way...problem solved.  xo mrs. french

Oh, I've always loved this place. It was featured on Cottage Living magazine when it was still in print (sigh) and the edges of the pages that showcase this little beauty are all frayed from constant perusing. It's a small place, but the layout is genius and perfectly proportionate. So glad to find it here, dear T.

Hope you had a most fabulous birthday.

I love the way those white shelves and dishes cut across the windows in the dining room. It's like clouds are on the INSIDE of the house and so lovely against that blue, blue sky...
