This little house and garden look like heaven

[Flaxbee]

Or at the very least, a lot of fun. Beautiful garden.

1. cute as a button!

[Flaxbee]

2. I've got such spring fever I can hardly stand it - I want flowers!

And color!

[Brigid]

3. Cute, but . . .

I have this thing about purple. I never did like it.

[Flaxbee]

5. hmm. well, maybe blue?

Sky-blue would be pretty...

[Brigid]

7. OK, blue would work.

[BainsBane]

4. I love purple

and that house looks wonderful.

[Flaxbee]

6. comfortable, fun, cozy ...

with a fantastic garden.

Yup. I like it. Don't know if I'd like so much color inside - I'd like some tranquility. But the vivid outdoor pop of color is wonderful

8. I love it! And I bet faeries and gnomes live in that garden

So it's got that going for it as well

9. Now that's craftsmanship.

I wonder what the square footage is.

18. I grew up in a house like this one built in 1929.

The square footage was about 1650.

I wish I owned it now; it's worth far more than my bigger house in the 'burbs. And it has a nice vibe, or it did last time I was there. Now the neighborhood is gentrified and full of Portlandia-type people with a New Seasons just a couple of blocks away, so maybe not so much.

10. Love it. Especially the garden.

11. I like old style buildings like this

Modern architecture just doesn't do it for me.

12. This is the link for the photo and other info:

No one can drive past Lucinda Hutson’s little house in Austin, Texas, without gawking. It’s not so much the bright purple color of the house, although that’s certainly eye-catching. The house is a showstopper because lush gardens engulf every inch of outdoor space. Facing the street are annual flowers, herbs, roses, vines and perennial shrubs and trees, all thriving in the carefree confusion of a cottage garden.

13. The tree is stripey.

Why is the tree stripey?

It's a lovely garden...

[KatyaR]

15. It looks like she's wrapped lights around the trees.

Those are the cords you're seeing...

[sibelian]

19. Ahhhh ok

I thought it was a specially clever kind of tree that grew stripes. "It's been watching Tim Burton movies", I thought. But lights are just as good.

14. Now THIS is the kind of house I want to live in

16. I like the garden, but I'm not big on the Barney purple paint.

17. This looks like the house I grew up in.

The house was blue, though, and had a front lawn and flower beds. I love this!
