“The things one loves about old houses – their sense of history, their time-worn easy comfort, the way they sit on the land with an air of inevitability, their elegant proportions and details…they celebrate craftsmanship and quality, comfort and decoration, natural light and the importance of connecting the rooms inside with the landscapes which surround them…” ~ G. P. Schafer

Just beautiful!
Absolutely loved every one of those pictures you posted today! Dreamy!
Oh, I want a hearth in my kitchen so badly!! If I was building a house, that is the one thing I wouldn’t bend on. I’d like it to go through to the living room, too…
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
How wonderful to have new homes with such charm and character.
I am crazy about the architectural details.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for writing! So glad you enjoyed the post!
