Looking for a Country House?

Have I got the perfect place for you! Nestled in the Hudson Valley in Chatham, NY this beautiful 1850s farm house is for rent. Fully furnished, the home, owned by talented photographer Laura Resen, resides on 3.5 acres of property dotted with apple and cherry trees, a vegetable and herb garden, and stands of lilac, peonies, and narcissus. Do I have your attention yet? Well, lets get down to the nitty gritty...check out the beautiful interiors.

If the home looks familiar, you might have seen some of the rooms featured here on Head Over Heels in the past. I'm a big fan of photographer/owner Laura Resen's work and was thrilled when wonderful reader, Marybeth, sent me an email with these images. I was equally thrilled when Laura gave me the thumbs-up to share them with you. This place is my fall fantasy come true. Can you imagine cozying up to the wood burning stove and spending the season lazily gazing out at the amazing natural views. Well, you can. Be sure to send me photos (and I wouldn't turn down an invitation) should you become the new lucky resident.

On the Bookshelf

I am ready to to throw off the winter doldrums and bask in all that is bright and happy and green. Hello Spring. Just in time for the change of seasons, the lovely people at DwellStudios have released a new decorating tome aptly entitled, Undecorate. As in, throw off all those tedious rules, cliches, and perhaps even trends and let your home be a shining proclamation of you. I've yet to flip through the lovely pages of this sure to be great read, but I'm already fully wrapping my arms around the concept. So if you find me scarce in blogland this week, you know who to blame. My closets are calling, the fridge needs a good scrubbing, and the yard is looking mighty sad. I fully intend to undecorate and rediscover my home-sweet-home.

Friday Flickr Fixation

Nothing boring about these beautiful neutral-toned spaces. I just love all the taupey, creamy, driftwoody shades interspersed with a big bank-for-your-buck dose of black. So calming. I am an absolute vibrant color enthusiast, but sometimes the beauty of simple, timeless neutral just can't be denied.

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Made my heart go pitter pat.

Every room needs a little something red. Or a lot.
