This year we went to the Portland Street of Dreams which is a series of houses built with the latest and greatest technology and style.
I’m sharing my favorite two houses from the show. They are farmhouse style a la Chip and Joanna. My favorite house had the she-shed! Loved everything about the she-shed except I would’ve put shelves in there for planting and potting and floral arranging instead of a lounge couch.
I’ll let the pictures to do the talking!

I’m late! I’m late! Here is this week’s weekly design inspiration! A beautiful black and white kitchen – this is actually a butler’s pantry! I love the chinoiserie wallpaper and the black and white floors! By Elms Interior Design.

Welcome to the Summer Porches Tour 2019! Many fabulous bloggers are sharing our outdoor spaces and porches today! A big thanks to Amber at Follow the Yellow Brick Home for organizing this tour!
If you are coming from The Crowned Goat, Welcome!
While strolling through Home Goods recently, we spotted this blue and white French bistro set. I knew it had to come home with me and had the perfect spot!
We put the set up in our sun porch! We like to open up the windows in the Spring-Fall and let the breeze blow through.
When I took these photos, the Meyer lemon tree was blooming. It smelled heavenly in here! I never wanted to leave!
The husband and I enjoyed iced lattes and macarons for dessert one night.
If you are ever in a pinch and need macarons – use Trader Joe’s frozen ones. They are pretty good! 
Looking forward to Summer when we can sit out here more often!

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to an open house and book signing at Steve and Brooke Gianetti’s Patina Farm located in Ojai, California.
They created one of the most charming homes and wrote about it in their multiple books – Patina Style, Patina Farm, and their newest book, Patina Living. The open house was to celebrate their new book, Patina Living, which is all about life on the farm in Ojai, California.
They have donkeys, chickens, goats and sheep at their farm. Below, their cute mini donkeys which have made me want little donkeys of my own! The rose bushes near the fence had most of the flowers nibbled off of them!
Visiting their house was like stepping right into the pages of their books! We have been admirers of their books for years and have been inspired by their beautiful home.
Brooke and Steve gave tours of the inside themselves. They had two days of an open house with 500 people each day – whew, what a lot of work giving tours to that many people!
Steve said in the garden he chose to do similar color palettes for all of the plants, so there are actually not too many different plants. The plants are all listed in their book.
Everything was so cute and utterly charming.
The roses were in full bloom, which was really pretty! Love their beautiful arches below. The donkey pen was to the left.
Below, the rose garden. The chicken coop is in the background with the climbing roses.
A look at the potting shed.
Inside the potting shed.
While their house and property was incredibly beautiful, I think the most satisfying thing for me to see was this: Seeing someone have a dream and go out and make it come true. The American Dream. Isn’t that what life is about?
A big thank you to Steve and Brooke for welcoming us into their home for the afternoon. You can visit Brooke’s blog here. Visit Gianetti Home here. Purchase their books here: Patina Style, Patina Farm, Patina Living.

A beautiful French kitchen! love the color of the cabinets, and of course the stove is drool-worthy! It is from a restarted 17th century hotel, Hotel Particulier as featured in Architectural Digest. Design by Michel Pinet.
“The skylit kitchen’s 19th-century table and chairs are original to the house. La Cornue range; 19th-century French glass pendant; 18th-century tile and ceramics.”

Love the dark blue of this kitchen with the unpolished brass hardware and exposed beams.

I love this blue kitchen designed by Mark D. Sikes. The color is Farrow and Ball Parma Gray. I like that it is an ordinary sized kitchen but it has so much charm! Floral wallcovering by William Morris. Featured in Veranda Magazine. AMY NEUNSINGER
