An Elegant Ohio Farmhouse

Being from Ohio, I just had to take a look at this beautiful, cozy farmhouse in my home state. Its lovely mix of antiques, comfortable fabrics and furnishings, and eccentric collections drew me in, when I saw it. Blessed with a peaceful rural setting, this home is jam-packed with charm. The garden is delightful, too. Owners Greg and Page Price have filled their home with such personality. I love the attention to detail everywhere you look. The couple makes sure their home is a pleasure for their guests--of both the two-legged and four-legged variety. They have even created a "dormitory" bedroom in the attic, for those late-night get-togethers, when friends just don't want to leave the party.

nesting instinct

I have always loved the look of birdcages. They add such a beautiful airy touch to any decor display. 

For quite a few years, a favourite piece in my collection was a very large black Moroccan-style wood and wire birdcage, with a domed top, in which I had suspended colourful faux butterflies. Of course, I had to let such things go, when I moved to Australia. I'm hoping that I will find another lovely birdcage, one day, for my new nest, here in the land I am learning to love.
