I know I'm not the only person who has a major girl crush on Emerson of Emersonmade. If I could trade lives with anyone, I'm pretty sure she would be it. Not only does she have amazing style and a beautiful home, her Husband poses in photos for her. And he smiles! What a lucky gal.
Reading her blog I was always yearning for more shots of her home. I actually emailed once asking her to show us more, but of course she was a busy lady. Or maybe I should take credit for the photo tour on The Nest and more recently in Boston Home Magazine. Hmm... ;)
Gorgeous! See Elements of Style for more photos from Boston Home Magazine,
and check out The Nest home tour.
I'm hoping someday to have a house on acreage too.
So it got me thinking, how could they afford a 7,000 square foot farmhouse on 100 acres?
I took to Craigslist to find one for myself. Nothing like that in Washington State,
I guess we're moving to New Hampshire!
This is the (still unaffordable) one I want!
White exterior, check!
Garden, check!
Mountain views and colorful foliage, check!
25 acres for the dogs to roam, check!
Curb appeal, check!
Inside in serious need of DIY, CHECK!
Anyone been to New Hampshire? Want to come visit me?

Will there be a mil apartment? I could bunk there. Doesn't it snow a lot in NH?
ReplyDeleteThat silly lady spelled ma'am wrong on her website/blog chick blog website thingy. It's ma'am not mam. Silly lady.
ReplyDeleteJust outside my city there's a veritable smorgasbord of houses on acres that are affordable. Very affordable. Some of them are giant ancient farmhouses too. I don't want one of those. I'm getting a nice sized bungalow, which there are many of as well.
In two years time, after I'm done fixing up my house and making it a very attractive 3 bedroom just down from a school, I'm selling and that's where I'm going.
I'll send you pics of Jinx frolicking on my acres ;)
mmmm, ode to a dream of spotless houses and beautiful furniture that kids don't jump on or put sticky fingers on. :)
ReplyDeletei think i spend 80% of my day cleaning and it doesn't look near what that does and I LOVE CLEANING.
i have to say...i love her, i love looking at her blog!
Wouldn't it be nice if our husbands would humor us just once? ;) I would definately visit! In fact we were just talking about an East Coast vacation last night. So I can flea market & J can golf :
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, yes please!
ReplyDeleteAnd how much does said NH house cost???
ReplyDeleteI love that kitchen in her house!
ReplyDeleteI can't check out the house tour because I'm boycotting The Nest (evil bitches) haha
Thanks for posting this, I love Emersonmade. Her home is so lovely. Emerson was one of the baby names I had picked out, but Jeremy wouldn't go for it. I will visit you in NH once you move in. :)
ReplyDeleteI have fantasies of country living too. It might take me a long time to get there...
ReplyDeleteI've been dreaming of her kitchen ever since I first saw the photos on The Nest. Jealous much?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

ReplyDeleteLOVE EmersonMade and her gorgeous farmhouse, but def couldn't afford one in Sea-town.
I'll visit!
I will be your permanent houseguest. As long as I can bring my cats.
