Such a beautiful little house.  Love the clapboard, the symmetry, the tiny circle window in the front gable, the white walls and the slate grey roof, the little gabled porch...  It's hard to tell which is the front door, which will bother Dave to no end.  I'm even loving the little railing in front of the yellow door- looks like a church.

Just a simple, charming little house.

My love of porches knows no bounds.
I prefer the above porch- how it juts out from the structure of the house.

But this porch has a great size to it- you could have an awesome little party out there. Perhaps this is the back porch. This would be a great back porch.

Let's start collecting mismatched rocking chairs! This has so much that I love- the clapboard, the wide porch, the rocking chairs, the sheer little curtains in the window... Wonderful. Except for that fluffy cat.

Is this indoor or outdoor? It's a nice little room.

Let's find this place and squat until the police get involved. What do you think about the different bricks? I'm still not sure if I like the upper story, but I am feeling the stone underneath the window. I love the giant barn-ish front door and the gravel driveway with the tree. So charming.

Remember the time we were out driving and you saw something like this and you spent about 20 minutes telling me all the things we could use it for? I thought you were crazy. Mostly because you kept calling it a fortification or something like that and it reminded me of how you want to have a German tank someday (for the kids to play on?!). But I kind of love this. It's charming and beautiful and we could have offices in it and the kids could play Rapunzel... But it mist have a balcony and exterior shuttered windows. Or interior, those would be cool, too.

How gorgeous is this? The slate tile roof, the wandering climbing roses, the dormer window, the trim, the garage door hardware... I love it. This is a great alternative to the giant carriage doors we like.

Dear Dave, let's move into one of the following:

I love this porch- it is the perfect width. I want one where you can have one person sitting in a porch rocker and have enough room for someone else to sit on the railing in front of them. Or wide enough to dance. That's nice, too.
