Cedar Shake Shingle Houses

Perhaps it is the cedar shake shingles that give a home a cottage feel. Maybe it is the texture I love so much. What ever it is, I love the look. There is a product out there called Enviroshake that is a shingle with the look of wood, only made from 95% recycled materials.

I posted about a similar product once before, click here to see. Enjoy, Heidi

Charming Cottages

Shutters on windows, thatched or shingled roof tops, smoke stacks and vines climbing up walls. I love it. Enjoy, Heidi

Houses that ROCK!

High ceilings, exposed wood beams, enormous windows flooding the room with natural light and the bare stone walls. Yep, it gets me every single time. Enjoy, Heidi

The story of the Sunny Little Beach House.

Once upon a time there was a little beach house that was cheery and full of sunshine. Families would go there to escape their hectic lives, relax and recharge. Every inch of the house was comfortable and eclectic, with varying textures and neutrals and bursts of yellows. The owner of the house likes it because at the moment she likes a bit of yellow, last year it was turquoise and perhaps next year it will be amethyst. It doesn't matter because all she has to do is change out the linens, some art work and re-paint the doors, a couple chairs and bath tub. Clever girl, that owner.

Enjoy, Heidi

I'm a Closet Goth Girl.

Found on We Heart It

It shows up like this, my deep desire for Goth architecture. I'm sure you saw it in my dream house collage too? There is more to come. Bare with me and my blog, I will fix it after Thursday. Right now I am in the middle of making 160 tiny wrist corsages for Camp Periwinkle. Enjoy, Heidi

California Cotswold Cottage

I was flipping through my Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion magazines (still in morning over the loss) the other night, when I came across one of my all time favorite cottage houses. Remember Jenny Hembury and her California Cotswold? I can never forget it. She and her husband were in love with it and one day he came home and told her that it was for sale and they bought it on the spot. She says that 20 years later, they love it even more. Shoot, it's been 6 years since that was published and I love it even more. This is the thing I keep mentioning," timelessness". The roof is cedar shingles that had to be soaked in water in order to achieve the curves. Be still my heart. Wishing you all a fun and safe 4th of July weekend.

A home for my Old Soul.

Every now and then it shows, the fact that must have an old soul. I did a post on it once, click here if you missed it. This post is the latest concoction of ideas I have swirling around in my head. This one is for that romantic, nature loving alchemist that lives deep inside of me. And BTW, thanks for all of the sofa input, it did help. Enjoy, Heidi
