    An amazing & beautiful little house. I want to live there but the idea of such a cozy place would make my husband squirm. I can dream though.

    I would love to live there. It’s all the quaint personality of old times with all the convenients of modern times. Yes it could have been made for me😍

    It truly is a fantasy little retreat! I love it all and like so many others, would love to live there! I do think that if I was going to live in a place like this, however, I’d make it just a bit bigger. Mostly to increase the size of the living room area so I could have the big comfy sofa as well as a couple of oversized, overstuffed chairs. I can definitely see some of my more frivolous furniture and artworks in this environment! This small version of my dream would be a welcomed relief from the troubles of the world, for sure!!!

    My Telescope would love this. She needs a room just for her. 😉 Yes, her. This is beautiful and it don’t look crowded. Can you give the roof a trim off and on? LMAO! I like the roof. Is character. Morning Natalie and Alex. Going to be scorching here in the Sequoia National Forest today.

      All you’d need is a goat or two and the grasses would take care of themselves.
