rustic chic: natural wood siding







Maybe because I'm back home in the Midwestern U.S., after having been living in Australia for several months, I'm finding myself appreciating American home styles, with a fresh perspective. One of the styles I'm really into right now is cedar wood siding. There is something comforting and warm about the natural look of wood exteriors. I especially like cedar siding paired with crisp white trim and big beautiful windows. I'm not sure if cedar siding, or any type of wood siding, would be available in Australia, but it doesn't hurt to daydream of having an American-style home in my adopted country. Besides, I'm not really the trying-to-fit-in kinda gal, anyway.

Bella Pollen's English Country Home & Garden








When I saw Bella Pollen's country house and garden in the English countryside, featured in Vogue, I just sighed at the beauty and serenity of the place. How I would love to be transported to the garden, for a long stroll, or stay a weekend in this gorgeous home. I love the wildflower garden and the house's airy feel, elegant proportions, and tall windows. Looks like heaven to me!

Pink Tuscan Villa



Doesn't this pink house in Tuscany seem like the perfect place for a holiday? I mean, it's pink, it's romantic, and it's in Italy. Say no more!

Of course, I'm quite content to be here in Australia, don't get me wrong. I just like to look at pretty pictures of pretty places sometimes.
