This is by far one of my most favorite homes on earth. Though I have never been there, the home just beckons me to open the gate and stroll along the brick walkway, walk up the white wooden steps and step through the red front door. Everything about this home just speaks to me. It is the kind of home that feels like a favorite pair of worn blue jeans and soft white tee shirt.
Fresh.
Simple.
Red.
White.
Blue.
Putting it simply – I adore it.
Many of you have probably been introduced to this home before. It is an Illinois farmhouse and has been featured in the Better Homes and Gardens magazine and on their website. There are several more photos of this charming farmhouse HERE.

…..such sweet eye candy!
These bedrooms have inspired me to fix up our guest bedroom. I’ve been slowly collecting fabrics, pillows and linens for the little project (ok – not so little project!) and will be working slowly on it in the next month – or so.
I could just crawl up into this bed with a good book or magazine!
Happy Monday!!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Yes Becky, this is one of my favorite all time farmhouses too. For some reason, when I see this house, it just says "Becky"! I think you need to change things up to red, white and blue. I remember your house being featured for the month of July and how adorable it was!

Hi, What a wonderful welcoming home. I love every picture and can just imagine owning a lovely home like that. My house is nice, but this just makes me dream of country living, in a big ole farmhouse. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a beautiful day,

There's something about a crisp red and white room - it's right for every season. I love this house!
Such a bright and cheery place! I'd love to have a house like that - all white and sun-shiney!
Hi Becky,
Happy week to you too! We have our walk through on Fri. and then our close of escrow next week! I have been so busy I have not be able to post. Gary and I have been shopping for the new house and have found a few treasures along the way.
I also adore all your bedroom inspiration photo's. The red is so sweet. I can't wait to see what you come up with using your collection of pillows and linens. I think I may need your creativeness and thoughts at the new house... my very talented friend.....
Enjoy your day and big hugs, Elizabeth
