Oh how I'd LOVE to live here!!









I just about fell off my chair when I saw these bewitching pictures by Miki Duisterhof of this utterly exquisite home via Marge Casey & Associates and Desire to Inspire.


That dining room is flawless! Can you imagine long leisurely dinner parties under dim lights and flickering candlelight reflecting through the mirrored armoire? And how about that outdoor garden party? LOVE IT!


How could you not feel like Marie Antoinette living amongst all those divine French pieces and sumptuous fabrics?


I swear I was born in the wrong country and the wrong era ;)

oh Anna, you are such a romantic! this is absolutely lovely but I couldn't ever serve beans on toast at a table like that......it must just be for elegant ladies and their beau's not scruffy beachcombers like me!

Can I come to your Garden Party?
Then I just might have to spend the night, cuz it's a long way you know.
Marvelous!!!

Can't believe I've found so many like minded souls as my friends couldn't care less about there homes and I'm sure they think I'm a little strange only thing now is I waste alot off time looking at beautiful things

oooo me too as long as I am the lady of the house and not the scullery maid.

I mean someone has to be the maid but it doesnt have t be me...or you!!!

Incredible images thanks for posting them...something to build a dream on.

Oh wow! Dear Anna - this post has just made my day. Such beautiful images, and I just love the touch of blue in each room.

This is a post that I will need to revisit, as there will be something new to see each time that I hadn't noticed before.
