Bright House in the Dark Woods

I am equal parts city mouse and country mouse. This little spot is dedicated to the one more likely to hole up in the forest on occasion.

Give me a clearing in the middle of some foothills and I will plant this little house with its huge windows and potbelly stove. This is what a big stack of books, someone sweet in bed, snacks in the cupboard and deer in the morning looks like.

Thanks Apartment Therapy. (more pics after the jump)

I saw this house! I think I originally saw it on some HGTV or Style Network show. But, I also saw it on AT! Amazing! The setting reminds me of my parents' house in Wellfleet - hard to believe a beach house can be in the middle of the woods! Speaking of, I think we've narrowed the dates we'll be there this summer. Let's chat offline!

That home looks like pure heaven. Being that I'm from colorado, I have an inner mountain girl that just wants to live in a cabin for a few months and wear wool sweaters.

That's the kind of house you could stand and watch the sun rise with a nice cup of coffee... I love it.

Nilsa: If I were in a position of stylistic power...I would talk about it always. And imagine my little quarterlife in it.

Alexa: Welcome! I was jsut reading about you on Jenn's blog!

Sass: :)

Shanti: THe power of suggestion. Plus where wouldn't you go if you knew there'd be snacks, a lover and some deer?

Chels: Another city girl with a remote side. Both. It's not too much to ask for.

CH: I love it. Go to bed-ish with the sun, get up extra early to see it rise and catch the dew, back to bed for a bit. Wake up for breakfast, putter around the garden, take a walk, have a nap...this is the life.
