Well,
I think you all know that
I have moved about a
million times.
The last place we lived
before moving to this house
was Door County, WI.
It is called the
"Maine of the Midwest".
When I got the latest
copy of Midwest Living
(thank you to the childrens'
Magazine school fund raiser)
the cover was lovely.
Someone,
who shall remain nameless,
spilled coffee on
the cover before I could even
open the first page.
But, I was drawn into the
wonderful Door County home
featured inside-
coffee stains and all.
Here is the side facing
the bay of Green Bay.
This is about 45 miles
North of us on the
same body of water.
A wonderful cottage outside
but look inside.
I love this porch and
the pops of hot pink
offsetting the
summery blues.
A quick peek into a bedroom...
And where do the kids play and sleep?
Is that a happy room, or what?
And...this
Vintage Teacart
is probably my favorite.
Hmmm...teacart...
Maybe she will invite me
up for tea!
Now, wouldn't THAT be something?
pssst...I'll bring my own cookies~
We are off for a couple of days-
well, actually I am a little "off"
most of the time.
So, I will be playing catch up
late at night-or early morning-
(if I can get online at all)
so don't feel
bad if I don't respond right away.
I'll be around!

What a lovely home, Diana. I think I saw this magazine when I was looking for some new ones the other day at the store. Those stairs look like they would be my exercise for the day. I'll bet the view is stunning.
I am drooling over that magazine I just got mine in the mail too!
That home is unreal and it wasn't cheap to build that I am sure of.
Hey Diana, enjoy your weekend! Dan and I are off to meet Jane(Blondies Journal and hubby)
Hugs,
Cindy
its a lovely home, diana! enjoy your get away!
Enjoy life to it's fullest, and we'll see you when you return.
Love the pics, but this black dust mop beside me would not go well with that white.
I have wanted to visit Door County since it was featured in Country Living back in the late 80s! Those pictures just confirm it...I need to go.
Have a great time away!
That looks like a good magazine~argh about spillage. grrr...love that house by the bay, besides all the steps...but it is decorated so cute! Love the old wicker stuff too, that teacart is precious...I bought an old wicker vanity for shop, yet to redo it. Just needs a freshening up with paint.
such a beautiful spot, and that magazine looks great.
Have a great get a way!!!
Oh how fabulous and cozy looking. I love that vintage looking chair with the flowers on it. Enjoy Diana!
That's a beautiful home! Can you imagine how much fun it must be to sleep in those bunk beds? Have a great weekend, Diana!
Wow, a cottage on the lake. Dreamy! I always enjoy that magazine when I run across it.
Great home. Have fun and relax and enjoy your time away. Hugs, Marty
I love those bunk beds! And the tea cart. And the colors and the carefree feeling of the space.
And have a great day or two off. Enjoy yourself... relax.... and drink your coffee!

Lovely home! Door County is a place I would enjoy visiting. Good things do come from magazine fundraisers.:) Have a good time away! xo Nellie
I want to live there!... I subscribe to that magazine too, but have not got that one yet???... enjoy your time off... xoxo Julie Marie
Have lots and lots of FUN! Don't worry about us...it's supposed to rain here over the weekend! Hugs!
Dear Diana,
Porches overlooking water are great! And the Tea Cart - Wow! Love it!
We're all just a wee bit off my friend! That's why we can laugh at each other and ourselves!
Have a great time! Play with those children, as summers go by way too fast - we understand if you don't get back for a few days!
Hugs,
Donna
Diana, Hope you enjoy your mini vacation. That is a pretty home you posted about. Smiles, xoxo, Susie
That is certainly a beautiful home. I've never seen that magazine. We have Southern Living. I never thought about it before, but now I wonder if the title is changed depending on its distribution area.
what beautiful and inspiring pictures.....so fun to look at and think about!
Love the magazine! I love regional magazines because every area has it's own style. I hope you are enjoying that getaway and no one has to "pace" too much. RELAX!
Have a great time and we will be here when you get home. The magazine is really fun. I love all the color. Take care of you, Mary
Hi Diana,
Drooling here...gosh that house is great. And all those colors, my goodness. :)
See you when you get back.
Have a great Sunday.
Take care, Janet W ((hugs))
Oh that magazine looks wonderful ~ I love that green chair!
