Shhh...I'm Pretending this is MY House <br> {get ready to swoon, girls}

Welcome to my home. I’m finally all settled!

OK. I know, I totally can’t fool you. You know I’m lying.

This house is FABULOUS and I just can’t help myself. I have to show you.

Shhh...I'm Pretending this is MY House <br> {get ready to swoon, girls}

Isn’t this just so amazing?

Her front door? WOW.

Those LINEN DRAPES? Ikea? SHUT.UP.

Those windows?

Those perfect wood walls? ADORE.

The chalkboard and the cart and the sticks and the furniture? Oh. SIGH.

Shhh...I'm Pretending this is MY House <br> {get ready to swoon, girls}

She put a sock and buttons on her chandelier. And it looks chic, of course.

Shhh...I'm Pretending this is MY House <br> {get ready to swoon, girls}

And she has a ruffle on her pillow. I HEART this pillow.

I heart this house.

But, it isn’t mine.

It is Kasey’s, over at Lola B’s. She is amazing. She is oh-so-chic. And her photography and blog is stunning.

I heart Kasey.

She was kind enough to let me drool over her house and share it with you. I think I might scare people when I stalk their houses.

But you should definitely go visit her to see more.

Everything she does is LOVELY. Everything.

    You can’t fool me. She is one of my favorite, along with you. Just so you know I have that cart and as soon as my wall gets put back from a plumbing leak I will be doing that with it.
    Thanks for the inspiration

    I rarely swoon, but this may be the occasion. I love that rustic beam table, and, of-course, the beautiful wood paneling! Welcome home!

    Oh I “heart” this house too :) I am definitely going to make the trip to the closest IKEA, which for me is in Maryland, but it looks like it is worth the trip. Well, I am going over to Lola B’s.
    Have a blessed day.

    What’s even scarier is that I sort of knew it was her house before you even told us. Stalker, anyone?

    Very lovely. I especially liked the settee, chair and curtains. Some of the other items were a bit too rustic for my tastes but I do appreciate the style.

    Hahahha! Yes, I think we all have moments where we wish someone else’s house was ours! Nothing wrong in pretending for a bit, is there? But yeah, that house is just beautiful, some people do have the special touch, everything they touch turns to lovely. :)
