doesn’t get much prettier

i just came across this 2009 idea house from coastal living.  i could so live here. 

i mean who wouldn’t want to live here with this north carolina view.  i can just imagine lounging in a chaise out under this lazy tree, sipping on a cup of tea and listening to the wind blow through the grass.  that’s the way i would start every day.

i could also get used to this kitchen.  love the two-tone cabinets and the light fixture that’s almost identical to one of my favorites.  i would trade the man out for my husband though.

i’ve always wanted a kitchen with a nook…just like this one.  i’m sure sweetie, my little jack russell terrier, would be looking out this window all day long.

on rainy days i would curl up with a book in the sunroom.

or in this cozy room by the fire.

i’d love to entertain guests in the living room.  the muted colors are so soothing.  i absolutely love the bird artwork on the back wall.  it’s so elegant.

having an outdoor kitchen like this one would make entertaining a lot of fun too.

and when i had guests stay overnight they could stay in this lovely guest suite.

jewelry and accessories included in the stay…

after entertaining i would retreat to the lovely master suite.

maybe some day….
