Dream House Alphabet: A

Perhaps it’s the character that they add to a space; character that screams: “This house isn’t cookie cutter, IT’S ONE IN A MILLION !”. Perhaps it’s the fact that houses with these kinds of detail are often old…they have a history, they have been called home for many years, and both memories and love are embedded into their walls. Someday I’ll buy one of these old houses, complete with quirky archways, fix it up, and be lucky enough to call it home.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtwFog5f4b686WDoSdINnSszRYnbFOF5uIzLCnHK1p3L_Tbs6VhNuqjkW7Jb4xxrAo2YED5KeR8XEmyMUieUBMWESYXEZ9llt8gV9Fh-z9ad3pDgwQHQAQ_FAzqpRHsEMB68QaEE1nu4/s1600/archway+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtwFog5f4b686WDoSdINnSszRYnbFOF5uIzLCnHK1p3L_Tbs6VhNuqjkW7Jb4xxrAo2YED5KeR8XEmyMUieUBMWESYXEZ9llt8gV9Fh-z9ad3pDgwQHQAQ_FAzqpRHsEMB68QaEE1nu4/s1600/archway+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/128563764332078566/" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">^Love the large scale of this arch, as well as the leaded detail in the upper portion of the windows.
