My dream house

Is totally Iris' cottage from the Holiday.
How cute is that tub!? Don't know how practical though. And my boys would destroy that floor  with water from baths.


Someday...someday.

This would be in my kitchen or right off of it open to the kitchen.

I love these colors!


And add a bit of Weasley into the mixture and it would be PERFECT.
But Jeff probably wouldn't live with me. My taste is too old for him, after living in this old house he wants something newer next time around.  Old houses just seem to have more character...and probably more mice.

  2. I wish! No I got them from this cool blog hookedonhouses.net and just googled Mrs. Weasly's kitchen for the HP picture. I wish I could visit these places and take my own pics.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
