more fall love...

I am beginning to think that I am going to need a different house for every season...

Every fall I dream about living in an early American saltbox house (yeah, weird, I know). In my mind Autumn, Halloween, and Thanksgiving are synonymous with early American saltbox homes (aka what most know as a colonial house)...but I'm not into the whole picket fence thing, I like the low ceilings, exposed timber beams, the center hearth, tiny staircase and even the unsymmetrical facades that many early American colonials had.

I visited Williamsburg, VA with my family when I was about 10 and as soon as I set foot in the historic district my 10-year-old mind kept saying "Tricia, you're home! You were meant to live in another century!"--reading too many American Girl books may have also had an impact (Felicity anyone?)....while I wouldn't necessarily think that anymore, I still want to live in a place that takes me back in time, and yes, 200 years back in time would definitely be a plus.

Therefore, in honor of my love for all things old and rustic (right now, as in, until December, when my taste will change again), I would like to share some pictures of interiors that I'm loving right now, yes they're antique-y and slightly country, but I think they all have some elegant and sleek qualities that won't remind you of grandmas house....unless your grandma is awesome, in which case tell her to keep doing what she is doing!
