Dream a Little Dream Home ~ Take 2

I mentioned last time that I would die to have herringbone floors in my dream home. I think they are absolutely stunning and drool over any space that has them. My friend mentioned to me that she found them too "parkay".. I nearly died. If I ever have them (very unlikely), she is totally taking her shoes off! :)

For take 2, we are heading outside! What do you think of this?

You guessed it! Who doesn't love cedar shingles! They really fit into the landscape here in PEI. Although, they are not the most affordable option so you don't see a lot of them. I really love the natural look but I really enjoy seeing them in different shades of grey as well.

In Quebec this summer, we came across this seaside home. Although we didn't love the color scheme, the weathered shingles and the simple shape of the home really spoke to us. I often think about it. Someday!


Have a great weekend!

    Ooo this is great! I've repainted my shingle house grey (with white trim) and painted my front door red - I just love how yellow and blue looks now too - thanks!

    Love the cedar shingles, but also noticed the hydrangea. How do people get them to grow so big? We've had ours for 5 years and they haven't gotten any bigger! So not fair!

    Yes, just lovely, this is my favorite kind of siding! I cant even begin to imagine how much it would cost!

    That yellow door is adorable next to the gray shingles.

    These homes are so approachable - love them especially the shutters and white picket fence in the third one. Happy weekend!

    Would be nice to walk through the front door of any of those homes.

    Love that style. The first is my absolute fave. I don't know what it is that draws me to siding, especially cedar shakes.
