Friday Driveby

I think if I could live in any home at all it would be a home like this one.  I love everything about it (except maybe the blue color).  This home is located in my hometown of Berea, OH.  It is in the area near the Baldwin-Wallace college campus, which was established back in the 19th century.

I imagine this home to be grand and large with beautiful rooms with tall ceilings and crown moulding.  I imagine 2 or 3 fireplaces, maybe in the sitting room or the master bedroom.  I imagine out of the way nooks and crannies, meaning an unexpected room layout or blueprint.  This is my favorite thing about old homes, the architectural interior details.

I imagine summer evenings on the porch, enjoying the weather and the neighbors and a warm slice of peach pie.  I imagine curling up with a good book in a comfy chaise lounge on the porch during a hot summer rainstorm.

I imagine a glorious third floor attic that can be renovated into a craft room or a rec. room, or a giant guest suite.  I imagine that I would redo the old kitchen.  I imagine leaded glass built-ins and glass doorknobs and wood floors.

I imagine that it would have all the character of Meg's house.  Have you seen Meg's house?  It's absolutely dreamy and so is this week's Friday Driveby.

Hey, a girl can imagine can't she?

Thanks for stopping by!
