For a born-and-bred city girl, I have been spending a surprising amount of time these days fantasizing about living in the country. This sneak peak on Design*Sponge last week did nothing to help quell those urges- I keep going back and imagining what it would be like to live in a house like this one, in the woods.
I think I'd have a garden, and chickens.
I'd definitely cut down my own Christmas tree, and on Christmas morning, I'd make cinnamon rolls. We'd probably put on our wellies and go for a walk in the woods after we opened presents. Wouldn't that be lovely?
p.s. The freakout list? I owned it. Every. Single. Thing. Got crossed off.
p.p.s. All images from Design*Sponge.
yay for owning your freak out list! you rock.
ReplyDeleteas for country living? i was a country girl until 18. i never will go back. one word: BUGS. eek!
yay for getting everything done on your freak out list! i also want to live in the country, except for all the bugs haha my husband will have to kill them for me.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this house. I have been longing for a tub like that, forever! One day... :)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Dreaming of Palm Trees
THose pictures are lovely...love those boots!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a born-and-bred city gal, but just moved to the country - there is something to be said for the peace, quiet and ability to walk in the woods anytime! :) (So sorry to be MIA, no internet for a week, catching up now!)
ReplyDeleteHope you've been enjoying a great holiday week!
I am a born and bred country girl(and I grew up with chickens) and was so stoked to live in the city, but now that I do I miss the country oh-so-much!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful pics, but I should point out that this country house is by FAR the exception, not the rule. Most are...erm...simpler. And honestly, the modular home is the most popular type.
ReplyDeleteNot that I don't doubt you could whip any country homestead into this sort of shape.
Also, you can get fresh eggs w/o the hassle of chickens with a farmshare - there's one that's really tempting in St. Louis that delivers only a dozen eggs and a chicken every week.
I LOVE THE COUNTRY! love these pictures to die for!
ReplyDeletecongrats on finishing the freakout list...wish I could say the same ;) thanks for this gem of a post...I love the country too! that tub looks so inviting on this cold wintry day. hope you have a fabulous christmas! thanks for the blog love :) xoxo {av}
ReplyDeleteThat makes me so happy about your freak-out list! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd. agreed. I now want a house that looks like that on the inside.
Surrounded by woods. During Christmas time? I would drink crazy amounts of wassail.
Everyone of these pictures are wonderful. We had chickens growing up. They stink. and a kitchen coop is even worst. BUT fresh eggs are wonderful. and a country home would be even better.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing these images I think I do too : )
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are beautiful. The country is pretty amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on this one, girl. I desperately want to have chickens and a garden!
