Behind the red door

Looks a cute cozy county house in France, bet things are falling off the building if you slam the door too hard or if a truck drives by.

The window shutters and the door seem to be the only thing touched for the last fifty or so years.

Doesn’t look that worn-out and simple from the backyard does it? I love this backyard because of the contrast to the front of the house. A secret little courtyard, how cute is that?


All pictures are from Shootfactory. This house is in La Poste. More pictures here, it’s a real dangerous site because you might be stuck for HOURS

I like!

Not a hundred percent happy about the roof and it’s a little too rustic for me but it’s so adorable! I don’t even mind the fact that the door isn’t center of the house, I’m sort of obsessive about things being symmetrical but here it works anyway. In my head the balcony/porch faces a big glassy lake.

The bushes by the door are a little small; they should get some big rhododendron or yew and get rid of those potted things on the stair.

Treehouse

I don’t know why but I like small houses like shed and little cottages (like the one in that movie “The Holliday”) and treehouses. But even if I start looking for a treehouse in the area to have tea in, I have no one to keep me company. (I wonder if I could persuade my dad to build me a treehouse even though I’m not twelve?)

Popeye Village Malta

These houses are just so darn cute! I want to live there, well if it was a real place and not a theme park. It looks as if the roofs are about to fall in and the houses themselves looks pretty unstable too. But I just LOVE old houses, or at least old looking.
