I am slacker blogger extrordanaire this week.

I have no deep thoughts to share.

I had no beautiful moments of introspection.

 
 It might have to do with the boys being home and summer calling us outside more.  
 

I'm not sure what IT is.  But the only thing i have going on in my head is nesting.   

And I can't think of a more beautiful nest than this one.  All of these gorgeous pics are from 
http://fortheloveofahouse.blogspot.com    What a house.   What an eye she has for warmth and detail.

 I keep telling myself that less is more.  But I may have to rethink this.  This corner is just like a little hug to me...all warm and glowing and sweet.

Farmhouse dreaming...

This is pretty darn close to dream house perfect for me.  I need lots of chunky, white molding.  Wood floors.  Lots. LOTS. of natural sunlight.

I think the very first house that made me stop dead in my tracks and say "I want to live there" was the Walton's house.  Do you remember it?  Very very simple farmhouse.  Kitchen was open to one living space, divided by the long pine dining table.  Big enough to house the entire family.  That's what i want.  A girl can dream, right?
