wednesday white

Visiting our family’s Colorado horse farm for ten days has inspired me more than ever to someday have land and a farmhouse.  Not gonna lie, I’ve already started a barn inspiration board on my pinterest page.  While zipping around the internet in a state of barn madness, I found a dreamy abode over here.  The only thing missing is a barn and a few horses.

I’m crushing on everything about this home…

A side porch perfect for lemonade in the summer and hot cocoa in the winter.

I wouldn’t be the least bit miserable in this kitchen.

If daydreaming about farmhouses is your thing, check out this other New England home crafted by the same builder.  I love it’s symmetrical perfection and the fact that it was modeled after the Wells Thorn House in Deerfield, Massachusetts.  It’s over here.

Happy New Year!!!

    I have no doubt in my mind that there is a farmhouse with at least one horse in your future;)

    Absolutely beautiful. You can never go wrong with a white house and red brick chimney. Glad you are enjoying such a great holiday! Happy New Year, Seleta!

    We used to live right near Deerfield Mass before moving back to Utah a couple of years ago. How I miss the old houses there. So beautiful!! Fun to see this new one based on that beautiful old architecture. Sure makes me homesick for New England though.

    I love this house so much I wouldn’t mind living in that garage!

    Sure glad I found the old issue of Southern Living under the bed this morning, or I wouldn’t have spent the whole afternoon going through your blog, swooning over every photo, every post.
