Storybook indeed! Someone knew what they were doing when they created this little piece of Heaven. The colors and architectural details just make it enchanting! Add the fence and garden details and it is just "pretty as a picture!" I love coming to this site every morning...you just keep outdoing yourself!
11 May 2009 12:48pm
@Kathycalculates: What an angel you are Kathy, don't give me too much credit though, it goes pretty much like this: ooooo pretty, shoot!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Incredibly charming! I would love this view in my yard. The style of the building is enchanting. It could be my little get away, my studio for a pottery wheel, endless thoughts. I love this scene so much.
The window trim is so cute.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Your title says it all. This is such a neat, symmetrical place. I love the red color theme, too. Lots of red variety... the tulips, the spring leaves, and the paint on that little cottage.

@Viewfinder: Thanks very much Vf, I couldn't believe how pretty it was :)

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
That's so pretty. I zoned in on the rock edging because we have no naturally occurring rocks in the entire state of Mississippi. How weird is that? I miss rocks.
