"It's not fall" farmhouse
Fooled again! I really actually believed you guys. All your blog posts and Instagram pictures of cute sweaters, knee high leather boots and pumpkin spice lattes / cakes / candles / bath soaps / toothpaste / deodorant convinced me that it was fall. That I'd open the windows and a crisp breeze would whisk all humidity out of my house and I'd have to snuggle up with a wool blanket and steaming cup of tea. That I'd have to wear a light jacket at night and pull the comforter up tightly under my chin at bedtime. With all that in mind, I headed out to the countryside this morning to ride, without even applying sunscreen. I didn't even look twice at my dri-fit sleeveless tops and had already mentally relegated them to the back of my closet. I could not have been more wrong. By the time I got out there at 10:30 am, it was already creeping into the mid-80s and sweat started trickling down my back at around noon. Both the horse and I ended the afternoon dripping sweat and scrambling for any bit of shade we could find. 96 degrees Fahrenheit boys and girls - I'm such a sucker.
So in celebration of this faux fall, here's a farmhouse that you can tour without breaking a sweat, complete with pool for those fall sunbathing sessions that are so popular here in Texas (because let's face it, fall here is just everyone else's summer weather).

Wow Rooth. I don't know where you find these, but they blow my mind! People actually live like that?!

Beautiful house, Roothie..
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh because I can relate to your being fooled by blog weather forecasts too!
Please oh please can we swap? Instead, I am sweating because I am wearing about 300 layers of jumpers! The outside area of this house really won me over (also the guy in the photo on the stairs wearing a white Stetson)!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to being fooled by weather forecasts too! Sydney is the same. It's meant to be spring but some days it still feels like I have to bundle up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous farmhouse.
Those wretched faux falls . . . they're just rude! As for the farmhouse, love! At least I love the bones. For me, it's a little overdone in places--but the bones are lovely!
ReplyDelete96 degrees?! Yikes. Hopefully it will cool down for you soon! The house is really lovely though, I love the charming little details.
ReplyDeleteThat farm house is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I get on blogger and Pinterest and get all psyched for Fall. Then I step outside and it's instant disappointment coupled with instant sweating. :(
Although, it's kind of nice out this morning. Oh sweet torture...
Fooled yah! Bwahaha! But seriously, OhrMeGads! This house is fantabulous! I wish I can move in right now.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Imma gonna totally do what u and ur sis did and do an LOTR marathon! Brills.:)
That's just a bit too much house for me, but I do love a lot of the elements in there. I'm a sucker for stone floors in an entryway, seemingly everywhere I went in Ghent and Bruges had that and it was so, so charming.
ReplyDeleteyeah, yeah, rub it in! it's freezing cold here and we already had to turn on the heat at night... I want to be wherever you are. on a horse if need be! and that really wouldn't be one of my favourite places...
ReplyDeletehappy monday xxx
haha i have been holding out because it is still summer for me too

"Farm" "house" is how I believe it's actually written. It's not fall in Seattle either, believe it or not. (That means it's above 50 and not raining, right?)
ReplyDeletewhen are we moving in? I'll bring the apple cider
ReplyDeleteDivine outdoor spaces. Ha!- I only wish we were still at 96F!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking place! Hey - skip over to Sweden and you´ll get autumn alright..! :-)
ReplyDeleteSame here - September and October are our hottest months so it's definitely not feeling like fall yet. It was 90 degrees at the wedding I shot yesterday!
ReplyDeleteOkay I need to move in there, that is my style. The fireplaces and kitchen and the arches and stone work. So pretty! I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Come to Wisconsin, mid 60s and sunny!
Such a beautiful house. Feels very cosy!
ReplyDeleteLUXESSED
I'm drooling everywhere. I'm pretty sure this is my dream house all wrapped up in one blog post.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I love the outdoor living space.
ReplyDeleteSo this is an actual house, huh? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteThe staircase, leading down into what appears to be an office, is amazing. Love ebony hardwood floors. The outside pool and entertainment area are fit for a proper social gathering.
ReplyDeletehow funny we keep getting fall days, like yesterday, which inspired me to get all the ingredients for chicken pot pie, but today it's warm and definitely not chicken pot pie weather. every time i get a crisp day and feel ready for fall it gets warm the next day.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your weather, it's fall in New England right now. It's 40s-50s at night and 60s-70s during the day so it's perfect right now for me. I panic in the mid 80s because I hate the heat so I'd never make it long term in Texas if I had to deal with 96 in September.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you would probably feel the same way about winters up here and I find them fun. :) Perhaps I'm sick.
These are such gorgeous images and make me wish it was mid summer right now. I have to totally agree how fashion blogs tend to hop ahead into seasons and like you said it may still be hot and humid but you want to wear fall attire. I think every city should just accept what's happening with their weather and not try to layer while it's still 100 degrees out. hehe. Great post Rooth

That heat just kills me... I'm seriously not made for such extreme heat!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Love it! I know what you mean though. Last week it finally started to cool off and the nights got cooler... leaves started to change... and now this week it's back in the 90s! What the hell? What a terrible tease. I am so ready for summer to be over! :)
ReplyDeleteOn another note though -- that farmhouse is AMAZING. Wow. Very well designed, inside and out.
This farmhouse is beautiful! I would love to live there.
ReplyDeleteAlso don't know what's up with the weather. Seriously it's all over the place.

ReplyDeleteThis house is so amazing, I might just go and cry in a corner.
Ooooo that's a pretty spectacular house!
ReplyDeletegorgeous space.
