Wonderful Homes and Gardens for You: Friday Finds

Another week has gone by and there was no lack of inspiration to share with you. When I come across home and garden ideas that I think will be of interest to you, I add them to my list. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever run out of content to share but there’s enough creativity in this world that I don’t think that will happen. Are you ready for this week’s treasures?

Let’s start out with an impressive coastal home tour of Sea Roost located in Montauk, New York. Not only is it super charming, but you can rent it for vacation at Airbnb!

Last Friday I shared black home exteriors, and this Friday I’m sharing a wonderful collection of midnight blue houses with amazing yards. No offense to my son who prefers black, but I like the blue better.

Here’s a Cambridge home that’s both peaceful and functional. It’s what I would call modern country design. The furnishings are primarily neutral with just the right amount of color tossed in.

Cottagecore, also known as “how grandma decorated,” is making a comeback. Country Living magazine identifies four elements from grandma’s house that are hot on the decorating list.

In case you missed it, I shared some beautiful front yard gardens on my sister blog, Pond and Garden. I’ve seen these types of gardens in my various travels and always wonder why more people in the states don’t employ this landscaping tactic.

I realize I forgot to announce the winner of the book giveaway, Shades of White: Serene Spaces for Effortless Living. Congratulations to Nan O – check your email for instructions.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Get out and enjoy the weather, if you can. I’ll be touring homes and taking my grandson to a vintage car show.

  1. Always loved the charm of the east coast and remember the beautiful ornate doorknobs in my grandmothers century house. You’ re right! Definitely the jewelry of the house.
