I am always dreaming of someday being able to buy a house of my very own. I love the freedom of the gypsy wagons I often post about and I also love the coziness of the idea of a tiny house, but ultimately, I have always longed for a big lonely old house full of mystery and character to call my own. These images from Design Sponge evoked my longing for such a space and I thought I would share a couple of them. (In case you haven’t yet discovered this wonderful blog!)


I am especially crazy about old fireplaces and staircases. This fireplace is particularly delightful because it also reminds me of another of my favorite things: theatre! Oh the little scenes I would create there…
I dream of gently renovating and whenever I walk around my neighborhood I check the prices of all the Victorian and Craftsman style houses even though there is no way I could even think such a grown-up thought just yet. Still, it’s lovely to dream.
