It's all in the details.

When we mooched in Corsham a couple of weeks ago I got to indulge in my favourite pastime of drooling over old buildings. I (not so) secretly yearn to live in an ancient cottage or Georgian house. Sadly my house (as lovely as it is) is about a decade old. Which means I have to look on with a tinge of envy at other peoples who do live in them.

Grandeur. Without being too OTT.

 

I love the quirkiness :)

 

I love this. My pups would not for fear of all the heinous beasties that might lurk within the bush and I myself am far to lazy to maintain something like this. But I still like it.

 

This would do me nicely.

 

But best of all was this door.

Such a fabulous colour. The majestic door knocker (I mean its a lion for goodness sakes) and lovely shiny letter box.

The stone work. The windows. For some reason modern housing just lacks that finesse that these gorgeous old buildings hold.

It's all in the details for me :)
