Curb Appeal, Dream HomeSara Michelle B.2 Comments

Do you have any homes that you occasionally decide to go out of your way to walk drive or drive by because they are just so pretty? THIS is that house for me! It is situated on the most beautiful street in Cleveland (in my opinion) and just has so much charm. I love the stone, the grout, the covered porches, the shutters flanking the door, the lush landscaping. Ah, it makes me swoon!

I'd love to see and feature some of your favorite homes! E-mail me a picture at fathydrangea@gmail.com! or tag a pic for me on Instagram! I will feature your submission on an upcoming post!

Barn House Love

Dream Home, Barn HouseSara Michelle B.3 Comments

Lately I been absolutely positively obsessed with "barn houses".  My family is from Wisconsin, my dad grew up on a farm, my mom spent her childhood summers on her grandparent's farm, and our family farm recently celebrated 100 years! In other words, farms and barns have always had a soft spot in my heart.

Not that I thought I EVER EVER EVER wanted to live in one myself! I would always have called myself a city (errr, suburb girl!) through and through. But my husband grew up in the country on a ton of land and in the 10-years we've been together has been planting seeds in my brain about having land to raise our kids, building our dream house, growing an insane vegetable garden, having a workshop. His seeds may be sinking in, but I'll talk more about that another time...

Tangent aside, I just love barn houses! I pretty much stayed up all night last night going through Pinterest researching the best of the best renovated barns used for homes, businesses, and weddings. Today I will share the exteriors and tomorrow I'll share some awesome interiors!
