every element of every picture makes me smile.

love the door....
love the hunter boots and dream of living in a place where i can actually wear them....
love the shutters....
love the eclecticness of it all.

love the clock....
love the island...
love the cluster of green plants sitting in that kitchen window...
love the cabinets and the pulls....
usually not an industrial kind of chick but love the metal shelves with whatever that goodness on it is....
love the plants in the grouped together in those unconventional containers....
love the sneak peak into that kitchen.....

love that perfect shade of blue side table with the plants on top...
love, love, love the old wooden doors...
love the bird cage hanging on the wall....
love the architectural piece up against the wall on top of the chest......
love the drapes in that dining room....
love the round table and the beautiful cream colored chairs.....

love the huge clock face.....would love a whole wall of them in all different sizes....
love that whispy fern in that terracotta pot.....
love the orchid...makes me want to pick one up at the farmer's market this weekend....
love those bare windows....
love that window seat....

love the hanging pots & pans....
love the old canister with the wooden spoons and other utensils in it....
love the plant...
love the brick floor....
love the bench...
love the windows....
and the plant...
so much character!

Some days it just does my mind good to sit and look at prettiness.

  3. Love them all too. Those wicker dining chairs in the second to last photos are from Ikea. We considered buying them but they are not sturdy and with my family of six wouldn't last a year! Love what they look like though.

  9. It is good to know what one loves, eh? Do you have an equally strong sense of what you do not like? Beautiful photos.

    Fondly,
