dream house

I have three decorating styles that I love, Cottage, Old World and Rustic (old wood, stone and metal). It can be a challenge to have all three styles in my home and still have them all coordinate with each other. I want things to blend and look like they belong together. I don't want things standing out and a bunch of very separate elements in my house. I want it to be comfortable, homey and seamless. So, when I saw this house in Southern Living magazine....I.fell.in.love!!!!! Come take a look (sorry the photos are so small).

What a fairy tale looking home. The stone, plaster, the chimney. So cute!

i LOVE doors that are round at the top!!!!!!

Huge antique lantern.

Antique shutters.

Now here is some cottage style. Love these slipcovered benches.To be honest I would never have them in my home because I need back support, ya know what I mean :) but they sure are lovely.

Another view of the incredible kitchen.

Rustic bench and frames.

Vintage floorboards.

Now on to the incredible backyard.

Antique chandelier.

Antique brick was used for the patio and fireplace.

More antique shutters.

The porches sliding doors.

You just can't find stuff like this in Las Vegas without paying crazy prices. When our family lived in Illinois you could find people selling a barn full of antiques at bargain prices. I miss that about Illinois, but I don't miss the cold!!
