When my husband Dan and I started dating, we fantasized about what our life might be like when we “grew up” (both 22 yrs old at the beginning of the courtship). For a while our fantasies included 3 key elements,

a mini cooper, in which we two and our big dog would all pile in hanging out of all the windows

and then we would cruise around our neighborhood in coastal Italy
Those were the days weren’t they Dan…What were the fantasies of your youth?

Liked the tour of this home that is mostly DIY and vintage finds
I’m pretty obsessed with the Paule Marrot reproduction on the cover of House Beautiful and its on sale here! Can you guess where I would want to put it?

Awe. We don’t have/haven’t done any of the three, but then again I still don’t feel very grown up.
Coastal Italy, summer 2014? We’ll rent a vintage mini, and maybe even a Berner to ride with?
Don’t forget about the two kids that have to hang out the windows too – safety first, friends
change the Mini to a Eurovan now
