Secret garden
Hello my lovelies - I hope that you all are well, and after the horrific events on Friday, spent your weekend appreciating time with friends, family and other loved ones.
Can you believe that it's only one more week until Christmas? I've really been feeling the rush and crush of the holiday season this year, with even longer than reasonable lines at Trader Joe's on the weekdays and traffic at any time of day in all parts of the city. I hope that you have been able to save some time for yourself, unplug for a bit and sit down to have a cup of tea. I'm feeling much better - thank you all for your well wishes last week - and this week, I want to share another home that has gorgeous grounds. Twenty acres, in fact, of beautiful gardens, green houses and potting sheds. It's not difficult to believe that the outdoor spaces have been featured multiple times on tv shows and won multiple awards. This country retreat is a perfect place to really get away from it all for a little bit, don't you think?

Well, I would need to change just about every light fitting in this place but I think I could be very comfortable here! And so glad to hear that you are feeling much better!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite surprised to see that Christmas is just around the corner. Where did the rest of December go? The cottage, greenhouse and trellis are my favorite and they remind me of a setting in a book I just read- The French Gardener by Santa Montefiore. Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, I love the garden. I'm glad you are better. happy monday xxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house!! I like the front yard. It looks classic ;P
ReplyDeleteNow that's a house I could call home. It needs some assistance, on the inside, especially--but oh, the promise!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling at that book shelf! And 20 acres?!?! Hot damn! Another winner here, Rooth:)
ReplyDeleteChristmas totally snuck up on me this year - commence freaking out!
ReplyDeleteChristmas is on my brain 24/7 so all I can do is imagine this house filled with beautiful Christmas lights and decorations. It would be the perfect location for a classic holiday party.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of gravel crunching underfoot. I'd take the house just for that garden!
ReplyDeleteWith that type of outdoor space, who cares what the house looks like!!! That is my dream garden right there.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better dear. On to Christmas! My husband would EAT UP that outdoor space! I'm with Stephanie...who cares what the house looks like. Okay, I care a little, but still.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're feeling better. This is a lovely house, but something about the garden gives me the creeps...I get the feeling of being stalked as I look at the paths. Don't know why, it doesn't look like the grounds in The Shining, but I get that same feeling. Perhaps current events are affecting my reactions.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI cant believe Christmas is here already... I haven't done any shopping! Beautiful images!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe X'mas is only a week away too! Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeletei would love a house with gardens like that! and a little secret cottage too. that would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteOH those built in bookshelves!!!! Love them.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, this looks like THE perfect place to getaway. I'm needing one of those (a getaway) pretty soon here.
