SOME OF MY DREAM COTTAGES

.....DREAM...DREAM......DREAM.....


Just wanted to share some more pictures of my dream homes....Most are from RATE MY SPACE and they are all LOVELY !

I feel like SCARLET, just LOOKING at this one.....

Almost expect to see RHETT riding up that driveway.....

How neat this one is....


OOPS...SORRY....I just had to throw in this picture of my FAVORITE ROOM OF ALL TIME......so far, I've not found another that speaks to me as this one does!


This B&B is so breathtaking, I can hardly stand it...and that adorable rooster sign just sets it off !!

I'll swear....I don't know WHAT it is that makes me love SHUTTERS so much !??

I think these are just about the cutest things...and I would LOVE these INSIDE !!



This little house is a COTTAGE in the true sense of the word....just precious!


WOW...this is so good-lookin'

That fancy fence is to*die*for....it surely is !



Another view of the one above....

BEST PARADE OF ROOSTERS

Good Morning BJ,
"HAPPY 48th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY" to you and your dear hubby. That is along time together and I so admire you both for being together for that long. Alot of married couples should take a look at you and do the same thing as well. I haven't been over to see the Rooster Parade yet, but I will try and get over there sometime today. I have been going back to bed after I take the girls to School of the mornings. Since I'm not sleeping good at nights, I have to have my sleep. I hope all of those storms and tornadoes have missed yall. We are under a Tornado Watch here until 11:00a.m. this morning and that could get extended as it's suppose to last thru this evening. There were some Tornado Warnings out to the West of us earlier this morning. And we are to get some more heavy rains as well. Your Dream Homes are just beautiful. I must say the second picture is my favorite tho. It's just so charming and it is my type of Dream House. I'll never know tho. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours. "PRAISE GOD" your Son came thru the surgery just fine.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Woo Hoo!! 48 years, wow!

I love all your pictures... I have to say that the last one is my favorite... a bit too big, and the front door is a bit fancy for my tastes, but over all I just love it... Give me a plain, old fashioned white wood frame farmhouse any day... :)(with chickens in the front yard, quilts on the clothesline, and me barefoot in the garden!!)

NnN said...

I've enjoyed the parade!!! Wow, I never realized there are so many rooster incarnations out there! And, Happy Anniversary!!!!

Many, many congratulations to you and your husband. What a God sent blessing. We will be reaching our number 38 this year.

I vote for the second home. Those stone paths around the property are wonderful.

I'm glad to hear your son-in-law is doing well.

I don't know how I am ever going to get the smell of all of those roosters out of my house. Too fun. Thanks for everything.

Adrienne said...

Happy anniversary, dear friend. You have made it through many years. I wish many more for you.

I loved the homes you shared today. The log home would be perfect for my sweetheart and I. He wants a log home and I want one with personality and curb appeal. That one would do it! I really love your dream room. Especially with the grand piano in the corner.

Thank you for coming by and visiting my blog. I check in here nearly every day to see what you are doing. I'll be back soon.

Loved all the pictures of the houses. Makes me want to get back into flipping some more houses after seeing those flips. Market just isn't great for it now so I am waiting till things get better.

Thanks for putting my roosters in the Rooster Parade! That was fun!

PAT said...

BJ, I love that second cottage. It is just exactly what J and I would love to find in the Ozarks!

That room you posted is beautiful!

Good to hear your son in law did well with the surgery.

Happy Anniversary BJ! Wow, 48 years. That's wonderful. I love your cottage pics! Love your red room, too! Glad your son-in-law is doing well. Hope you have not had any flooding in your neck of the woods. I'm not in a flood zone, but all the creeks and streams and ditches are overflowing more than I've seen here. Stay dry. God Bless, Celene
