The Homes That Inspire Us-III


This home is our latest victim. Jason and I love this cottage in Laurel Grove in Cape. (Umm, who doesn't love ALL the homes in Laurel Grove?) The sage green is fairly close to what we are looking for in our siding color. I love the contrast with the stone. Seeing this house sold me on that stone color. I guess Jason was right all along.
I think we are both attracted to the Craftsman style because of its welcoming and casual feel. I want friends to walk right up and feel like our home is a place they can enjoy. Wish us luck!

I could not agree more. I am in love with those homes. I've looked at gobs online (I'm a little addicted to houseviewonline.com) I love how they look a little like they belong 150 years ago, but with some modernism mixed in. And who doesn't ogle over a gorgeous front porch? In short...I approve of your inspiration...I'm sure that's what you were looking for :)

Amy- Houseview online is how we found our house in Cape. It is totally addicting- I remember. I only clicked on the ones with photos, and loved looking through them. I just remembered that one of the homes in Laurel Grove (The one with the red brick steps and foundation, one of my favs ever) is for sell. I wonder how long it will take me to find it online...
