Shore House Porches

Summers and beach vacations.  The wonderful addition of the beach house porch!  Sit, rest, read, day dream and let the ocean air engulf you! The tranquil feeling when you get down to the shore and move close to water. It never fails to relieve stress .

Check out the pretty beach homes and porches 

Take a ride and enjoy the view!

Dutch Colonial Homes

Happy Summer friends!   After a trip to the  beach  I kept thinking about the beautiful architecture of some of the big  homes and many appear to be of Dutch colonial architecture. The style  has always been a favorite.   It brings me back to the past and reminds of  when life was simple and uncomplicated.

Dutch Colonial is a style of domestic architecture, primarily characterized by gambrel roofs having curved eaves along the length of the house. Modern versions built in the early 20th century are more accurately referred to as "Dutch Colonial Revival," a subtype of the Colonial Revival style.

The Front Door

Hey Hollywood buddies!  The heat is turned up for 90 degree days on the east coast. Air conditioners are humming,  a real challenge to keep cool. Will miss keeping  the  door slightly open to feel the fresh air and  welcome  visitors and friends.  Summer is here in all it's sunshine.

Glance at these front doors for inspiration.

Happy Summer!
