Beautiful Living!

Southern Living Magazine

I wanted my first post to give you a little bit of info about me! First.... my dream home.  I haven't found the exact one in a picture yet, but I guess that means I'll just have to build my own home one day.  I'll just take a few likes from each, and make it my own.  I've always dreamed of the Southern Estates.  If your from Tulsa, the Southern Belle Mansion, or if you are from the south, of course you see them EVERYWHERE. The big white house, with big white pillars.  A beautiful wrap-around porch and french doors leaving my bedroom onto a big beautiful balcony.  I imagine a white wooden staircase leaving the balcony down to the backyard.  My big comfy rocking chairs out on the raised front porch where I can drink sweet tea and iced cold lemonade. Finally a long narrow drive up to the house, lined in huge beautiful oaks, or maybe even dogwoods that bloom so beautiful in the spring.  Extravagant... I know.  Although I'm not from the deep south, something stirs inside of me with a deep desire for it.
