My Dream Home…

I would like to invite you to come visit my new home nestled amongst the vines.

My gardens are simple…wide gravel paths, more grasses, fewer roses, lot’s of lavender and anything else that deer don’t find tasty.

Our home is constructed of salvaged beams, flooring, and stone from a barn dismantled in Pennsylvania.

 Barn style houses are fabulous! Love the doors and openness. heirloom philosophy: Inspiring People: Meet Barbara Colvin

Please come in!

As you can see the kitchen is open to the rest of the space.  We have no need for a formal dining room or living room anymore.

Reclaimed barn beams and flooring have  been used throughout


If you like you could sleep in the second floor loft above the living space

Feel free to gather vegetables or herbs from the kitchen garden outside the kitchen door.

Enjoy yourself.  There is plenty of room for you and your family

Thank you so much for visiting!  I would love for you to linger but you have five other “dream homes” you won’t want to miss. Don’t delay they are expecting you!

I can’t wait to hear which home you would choose for your dream home.  Please stop by and come back here and tell me which you would choose for your dream home and why. Or better yet tell me about the home of your dreams!!

Thank you for asking me to participate in this event, it was so much fun for me...more than you can imagine. Your dream home is beautiful, just what I would imagine for a California girl!

  10. Cindy...swoon! I love your dream home! All of it. I think I just love all the natural materials in everything. I always love anything from McAlpine and that dining table with the chunky woven chairs is my favorite as well.

    I'm looking forward to checking out all these links tonight when I can!

    Beautiful post!

  12. Hi Cindy! I am loving every aspect of your home. It is quintessential 'Rough Luxe' style.
    I am so in the mood for Alfresco dining that the terrace tableau has me entranced today.
    As always I love your style!
    Happy Easter Cindy!
    xx,
    Heather

  13. You and my wife have a penchant for good space. You both dream of a Zen-like garden and details on the house. Haha! She’s really fond of Oriental accents on everything. Anyway, thanks for letting me tour your house. I really enjoyed the view.

  14. Wow! So, your dream home is something country style, right? You should add some sliding barn doors too, it'll make your house look cool! :) I'm planning to build my dream house and I've been consulting with some mortgage companies about my status. I hope that they'll give me the loan that I want so I can build my dream house already.

  15. Your dream house is breathtaking, Cindy! I particularly like the garden; the sanctuary and water features gives an ethereal factor to the place. About your ‘poll’ on the other five lovely homes, I like the second to the last (roseandrust’s blog); her choice is just amazing – very quixotic.
