Summer Hats

I love hats, but rarely wear them. But when i saw some of these, I decided I should maybe go invest in a hat...you might too.

Maybe I need a pair of bellbottoms too.

Maybe a berry lip too.

Eat-In Kitchens

I posted kitchens a while ago and said I would post eat-in kitchens. So, here you are. Some of my favorites.

1. This is one of my all-time favorites!!! I just love it! For how much I love this look, I never do anything that looks like it. Doesn't it just look like they have kids in the house? So fun.

2. Isn't this cute? The wine cubbies are neat.

3. Pretty amazing place. I LOVE the rugs.

Some day maybe I will plunk down the money for one.

4. Simple. I think this place looks like it is out in the country on some huge piece of land, with orchards and maybe a dairy cow.

5. Great ceiling and lights.

6. Whites. Even though it looks neat, I can't imagine having kids here.

7. Small kitchen, but who cares when it looks like this.

8. Not positive this is an eat-in kitchen, but thought looks like it could be.

9. Pretty amazing. I have a feeling this isn't the midwest.

10. Bright, Clean and Modern.

11. Fun...I have to say I'm pretty in love with the light.

12. Such a cute house.

13. LOVE! Also, look at the great windows we are looking through!

14. Loving the fireplace, the light, the wood panelling going up the wall and on the ceiling.

15. Amazing appliances and neat floor.

16. Again, LOVE LOVE the windows.

17. Mmmm, so appealing.

18. Simple color scheme, so nicely done.

19. So home-y...aren't all the light fixtures so great? And another great rug!

20. Pretty fantastic. I need to get myself a rug...haha.

21. Love the curves.

22. Great view from the kitchen. Isn't the wood color contrast striking?

23. Look at that floor!

24. Another FAVORITE!!!

25. Nice.

26. Don't you love all the ceilings and lights?

27. Cozy. I love how you can see the fireplace and the beams in the ceiling go the whole way.

28. The lights, the chairs, the pantry.

29. Again, my favorite look for a window.

Enjoy dreaming...at least I am.

In the Back Way

When someone tells you to come in the back way, it signifies you are coming in a way that isn't as showy, as flashy, like you are one of the family...but some of these little 'back ways' are too charming to let only a few see.

1. Isn't this SO pretty?

2. Ahhh...dinner on the patio.

3. looks like this belongs in France.

4. Simple

5. Gotta love the brick.

6. Reminds me of The Secret Garden

7. Another amazing house with pool.

8. I would like to think this is in America, but I highly doubt it.

9. So homey.

10. And a long-time favorite.

Here are some sunrooms and outdoor sitting areas. At this time of year, I always dream about what we may someday do out side our backyard. It is in need of some desperate work. But for now, I dream. Here are some pretty spectacular ideas.

1. I love a brick fireplace outside. Probably helps that my husband lays brick and stone for a living.

2. This is one of my favorites, because I would sit here ALL the time if I had this place.

3. I can't remember if I've posted this before, but I thought it's so great, it needed to be posted twice anyway.

4. Just found this picture, isn't it neat?

5. Ok, so this one, I'm not sure if it's outdoor, or a sunroom, but it would be neat if it was, wouldn't it?

6. Fun.

7. Love.

8. I don't know where this is, or what it is, but it is pretty awesome.

9. Before we moved to America as a kid, I thought this is what every front porch looked like.

10. So simple and so pretty.

11. Casual and Cozy.

12. Great look.

13. You would feel like you were always on vacation.

14. Pretty.

15. Mmmm.

16. Isn't it awesome?

17. Pretty fantastic.

18. Fabulous.

19. So cozy.

20. Again, I think this is part of a sunroom, but not sure. I have the other part of the picture somewhere in my archives, but didn't take the time to find it. Pretty amazing sunroom.

21. LOVE LOVE!
