ENJOY!

ANOTHER LOVELY VINTAGE SPANISH STYLE HOUSE.  I ADORE THE TOP CIRCULAR POP OUT ON THE ROOF.

NO, IT'S NOT 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE...BUT IT IS A LOVELY SWEET COTTAGE STYLE WITH DARLING UPPER WINDOWS.  I LIKE THE SWEET AND SIMPLE GATE TOO!

YAY! HERE IS A BETTER CLOSE-UP OF THE WHITE RABBIT AND ALICE STANDING ON A GRAND PIANO!  HOW MAGICAL IS THIS!  I WOULD LOVE TO SEE INSIDE THE ENTIRE HOUSE!  THERE MUST BE A VERY MAGICAL FAMILY LIVING INSIDE!

I DO LOVE RED DOORS ON HOMES...AND THIS ONE IS CHARMING.

ANOTHER LOVELY HOME IN THE AREA WITH A LOT OF CHARACTER.  LOTS OF DETAILS ON THE WINDOWS AND SUCH A CHARMING FRONT DOOR!

I DO LIKE MYSTERIOUS GARDEN DOORS!  WHAT LIES BEHIND IS A MYSTERY.

WELL...YOU ALMOST CAN'T SEE THE HOUSE FOR THE TREE!  BUT THIS IS THE WAY MOST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS...LOTS OF LOVELY HUGE TREES!  THIS IS A HUGE HOUSE, BY THE WAY...THE PHOTO DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE!

ANOTHER LOVELY ROOF STYLE AND FRENCH STYLE WINDOWS ON SUCH AN EXPANSIVE PROPERTY WITH HUGE OAK TREES.

THIS IS THE STYLE OF HOME YOU WOULD SEE IN SOUTH PASADENA, CALIFORNIA OR EVEN NORTH HOLLYWOOD.  JUST A VERY LOVELY HOME WITH A FULL BALCONY, PROBABLY A MOTHER-IN-LAWS QUARTERS OVER TO THE LEFT OF THE HOUSE.  JUST DIVINE!

ANOTHER HUGE SPANISH STYLE HOME WITH A SPRAWLING FRONT YARD AND PROBABLY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT INTERIOR. 

THE TYPICAL AMERICAN HOME HERE IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. YOUR BASIC WHITE WITH DARK GREEN ACCENTS.  TRULY A HOME OF COMFORT AND CHARM.
I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED A SHORT TOUR OF THE LAURELWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND HAVING A CUP OF TEA WITH ME!

GOOD MORNING my dear! I am loving this tour of yours. These homes truly bring back the California style (eclectic) that I grew up with. Like I mentioned before, one of the things I love about living in Minneapolis is that the homes vary in ALL of these styles, leaning more towards the fairytale cottage style. I LOVE THAT HOME WITH THE ALICE AND WHITE RABBIT! Oh how I wish you could see my home. THANK YOU for this wonderful tour! Anita

Hi Teresa,
Yes, did enjoy the tour very much, especially seeing the White Rabbit and Alice. I too would like to see the inside of that home. Hugs...Lu

What lovely houses. I was impressed by the stature of the trees, how lovely they look. And they're all very nice houses but I have to admit, yes, my favourite is the one with Alice and the White Rabbit. I hope it's as magical inside! You need to get invited there for tea, take more pictures!

I wish I could see the inside of the Alice in Wonderland themed living room!

Good morning Theresa! I am just now visiting my blog friends after being away for (too long) a time. Please write to me at heirloomheart@msn.com...much love, Rose

Shopgirl said...

I have a red front door. I just love them also.
Since I am a native California girl, it was fun to see some styles I grew up with. It is always interesting to see the differnet homes you find from one place to another.
Have a great day...Mary in Idaho

I did! I really enjoyed the tour. I just love a good neighborhood tour! I think the first cottage house (1600) is my favorite...so charming! But it's a tough choice. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. It was nice to "meet" you Teresa! Vanna

Dearest Teresa...thank you, sweet friend, for your visit!!
Perhaps when you stay with your sister you could actually stop in for some tea chez moi, I would be honored!
These are lovely houses, each with a charm of its own...
I love red doors too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share these....
Blessings and wishes for a beautiful day!
Love and hugs,

Hello Teresa...thank you for the tour...I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit...especially seeing that Alice in the window there...how intriguing! It was lovely that you popped in and saw my latest quilt...I really enjoyed making this one...I think using those happy colours was so inspiring as well!

Now I'm off to have that cup of tea...Wishing you a wonderful Sunday....Dzintra xo
