dreaming

one day i will have a room like this

what do you wish for in your dream house?

revolutionary home reborn

DC based builder Tom Glass fell so deeply in love with this abandoned house that he moved it 150 miles and worked for 21 months to restore it and call it his home.  Built in 1797 by Revolutionary War officer (Robert Kelso) the house sat abandoned since 1930.  

How could you ever leave his home abandoned?  Just wait till you see the inside.  I die.

how perfect would this tree have been at 60 Saragossa??

in college i lived with two of the most incredible girls - Sarah Tucker and Ashley Coggin - and everything in our house was pink.  we loved it.

Say Yes to Michigan!  How amazing.   I love the heart over Detroit.  Finding these today made my Friday so special especially since i have been a little down this week: my entire family is in Michigan at our family reunion.  Couldn't make it this year due to a new job but next year nothing will stop me.  c.w.f.h.l. 2011

off to the mountains

i'm going camping.  well i am actually staying in a cabin - but the cabin is in the mountains. so that counts right?  Lindsay and i started planning months ago and we still have a few months to go but i am just so excited.  our rocky mountain cabin retreat in october will be the perfect addition to my fall 2010.

have you been camping?  what did you take?

i am thinking about these scarves, leggings, sweaters and boots.

i will need to start researching recipes - mostly those involving a grill

missing this today

picture text via my mom.  next year i will be there.
