Sttrrettcchhh

My goodness, it was wonderful to have the extra long weekend, wasn’t it? After work load at the end of June, I really needed it. I unplugged a little bit and immediately dove into the stack of books I had waiting for me. Ahh, the smell of brand new pages. Over the last four days, I ate more than my fair share of ice cream and popsicles, stayed up too late and woke up too early. Ahh, sweet sweet summer time.

Someday, I’m going to go to the (cooler) Northeast beaches for a summer vacation and spend my days lazing around a smidge of a house like this. Okay, so this one isn’t in the Northeast but it’s still so cute and vintage 1925. I know I know, the formal living room is mustard yellow and the kitchen is green. It kinda adds to the whole kitschyness of the place though, don’t you think? No one could ever accuse you of being beige or bland with those colour choices. And the back patio would be wonderful with a salty sea breeze blowing over it too.

  3. It's so cute! I like all the colour choices, but the green in the kitchen is maybe a bit too much for me - it needs to be toned down a bit.

  6. Large houses with all the amenities are wonderful, but I love small houses--with neighbors close enough to see if someone tries to break in, but far enough away to rarely be heard. The door frame at the bottom of the stairs is great!!!

  7. Oh it's super cute and affordable! I love the arched stairway, all the french doors, and the fact that it has the original cabinets. No one has put in the dreaded cherry cabinets and granite countertop that people seem to think is nice these days.

    Also cute: The fact that you think it's cooler up here. Maybe on the beach. Definitely if you are standing in the 55 degree ocean. ;)

  16. Oooh, the Northeast beaches...that's where I am! Though I can't say it's much cooler, we've been having a terrible heat wave!
