Firstly, wouldn't any of these homes make the perfect summer hideaway?! They have houses like these allll over the East Coast (where i'm originally from). Too bad I didn't have the appreciation for those houses then like I do now. Oh welp. That's the way it always seems to go... you don't know what you have until you don't have it, right?

Anywho, a few weeks ago, I went for a walk with a friend and spotted the cheeriest Southern looking cottage house with a porch and rocking chairs in the front (kinndaa like the fourth picture). And of course I didn't have my camera with me to take a picture; major womp. I'll probably end up going back looking super sketchy with my camera while taking a picture of a stranger's house haha. Anything for the sake of the photo!

Oh, these houses are lovely ... somewhere to drink iced tea & have BBQs. We don't have ANYTHING like this in Australia :(

Beautiful houses, and beautiful photographs. Sort of remind me of where I used to live in England, on the coast.

oh what lovely homes, I adore older homes, especially little cottage style homes like this :) (though my real penchant is for Victorian homes
)

Oh these houses are adorable. You gotta take a photo of that cottage house you ran into. haha, oh man I can already imagine the look of the owner's face when you start snapping photos of his or her abode. Now I have the image of some little old lady trying to chase you down the street...ok, alright, enough imagination.

Where are you from on the East Coast? I too am an East Coast transplant to the SF Bay area and miss the East Coast houses as well. :o)

@TheDrifterandtheGypsy I came out here from Wash. DC but lived up and down the east coast all my life until I came out here almost 9 years ago! Although I have been out here quite some time I still consider myself and East Coast girl! :o)

This is the exact style of house I want when I'm older complete with a neatly overgrown garden if you get what I mean (:
