We got almost a foot of snow here yesterday at The Cottage Home! I guess this is what you would call a white Christmas. I just had to post this picture of our house all snowy and white. I usually prefer our home in the Summer months with all the greenery growing up the side of the house, but as I was outside taking this picture, I was in awe of what beauty the snow has brought us.
I love old homes – our cottage home was built in 1934. I cannot foresee my family and I ever living in a newer home, my husband and I feel that the older the better. There is something so comforting about living in a home that you know has a history, that has been around since before you had even set foot on this earth. I feel so blessed that we have been given the opportunity to make this house our home. Here are a few more pictures of our Snowy Cottage Home.

Your home looks like a postcard, so beautiful! I am very nostalgic – (sigh).
