Help me find the perfect house

Dec 3, 2008

{from Martha Stewart}

So I'm working on creating a post/board for a holiday-at-home wedding, similar to this Thanksgiving post, only for a snowy, late-December eve.

I thought I'd try something new and attempt to make it a bit of an interactive experience for us! First up, if you'd be so kind, join in and help me find the perfect setting. We're looking for a home with a warm and cozy vibe. An abode that would welcome chilly guests in to warm up by one of the many fireplaces.
It could be an old farmhouse, a suburban retreat, a city dwelling. It could be your house or a charmer down the street from you. A historic house you've always admired. Chic digs you saw in a magazine or on a blog.
As long as you have a photo, it's a contender! Just e-mail me the photo or leave a comment with a link to it! I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions and I may check back in for help with another aspect of the holiday-at-home wedding plans! Thanks!

  3. www.architectureforsale.com comes to mind first. Searching states like Connecticut or anywhere in Europe usually yields more classical architecture, other states usually more modern. Best!

  5. Here is another pic of the wonderful inside of the mansion with a beautiful Christmas tree next to the fire place! It would truly be magical to get married in the winter here...but too cold for us!

  8. Love this slide show from a recent NY Times Home and Garden article. Has a great slide show attached. Very homey and unique, with a big fireplace. Love the piano upstairs!
