New Photos of My Dream Home

While doing a little web browsing this evening,
I found my house... again.
This time, I found even more photographs--
ones I've never seen before!
I was so excited, I just had to share them with you:

(click for a better view)

The little cape nestled on its quiet street

Another view of the parlor

The guesthouse/studio (I didn't even know existed!)
Do you see the view??!

I don't know what this is...
I'd probably paint over it, though :P

The back of the house with its beautiful studio

The unbelievably gorgeous backyard

Lovely side view

The private dock (enough said.)
... the private dock!!! *swoon*

I love the expansive windows in the guesthouse ♥

The beautiful, beautiful garden...

And one last final, breath-taking view of the yard.

I can feel my heart literally ache 
as I look at these pictures...
... literally ache.

  3. Beautiful home. May all of your New England cottage dreams come true ;) I love the studio!!! I can see my self writing away in there and writing my children's books! Do you come from New England, or The Cape?

  4. I can understand why you ache everytime you look at it. There isn't one thing I don't like about it. The pond and gardens are the icing on the cake! Thanks for sharing.

  5. That truly IS a gorgeous home! My best guess is that the old London phone booth door is there because the owners of that house are/were British expats who missed home (there are MANY British expats on the Cape). ;)

  6. I honestly believe that if you visualize a dream you can make it happen. That is EXACTLY what I did to finally make my Maine seaside cottage a reality. Oh yah, and LOTS of hard work too, but worth every drop of sweat equity.

    This cottage is YOU and only YOU would've noticed the tiny Nantucket basket I had sitting outside the tiny faerie doorway in the tree.

    I am working in Boston this week and opening our little cottage in Maine this weekend. So next week's posts will be of FoxDrink Ledges, my place on earth.

    Love,

    Wow! :)

  10. Reminds me of the house I rented in Ivoryton years ago. It backed up to Fall River.
    I can see why it's your dream house.

  13. It's lovely. Great yard, private dock, wow. The rooms look nice. I even like the British phone booth. I would probably keep it, nice touch of whimsy.

  14. Wow! It's a beautiful place! I really like the garden area and I'm also swooning on the private dock. Well, my sister loves browsing in the internet about home remodeling, roofing (Calgary style), home gardening, and interior designs inspiration. She's also a fan of a particular Calgary roofing company in our place since she's currently studying real estate business.

    Thanks for sharing the nice pictures, Erin!

  15. I grew up in this house and I loved it dearly. My parents were married in the backyard on the dock in 1980 and my dad's mom had the house before we lived there. That house defines my childhood and I'm so glad I happened upon your blog, you just brought back years of wonderful memories to the surface!
