Une belle maison

A few weeks ago, I was finally able to walk through a house I have admired for many years since it was built near my neighboorhood several years ago. I was not surprised to see that the interior is just as beautiful, if not more than the exterior.













I loved the ironwork, the lead-glass windows, the steeped roof, and the tiniest architectural details throughout the house. I swooned over the gorgeous furniture, Old-World draperies and upholstery, and the way the elements actually look antique, and not fake-wannabe antique. It has a certain charm to it that gave me chills as soon as I walked in the front doors.
What does your dreamhome look like?

  2. Old world charm without the trappings of owning an older home. I've seen craftsman style being built in this fashion and I love this concept. Beautiful home; thanks so much for sharing it's rooms. And for stopping by my blog. I love your profile picture, by the way. :)

  4. Oh wow! Not my ultimate dream home but it is certainly in the top 10 list! I don't think I could really pick just 1 dream home. I daydream about several lol. You know, one in Italy, one in Hawaii, one in Chile. What a life that would be!
