The Perfect Setting For A Cabin

Happy Monday, everyone. How was your weekend? On Saturday we went to view a cabin that seemed to meet all of my criteria on paper. Well, there was nothing wrong with the house but I so want a setting like these!

Isn’t this gorgeous? The property we saw had a trickle of a creek but I really think I need to hold out for something on a lake or the sound like these.

So, it’s back to the drawing board.
On a different note, Sarah at Walking Around has started a really interesting series of interviews with bloggers on the topic of why we blog. She was kind enough to interview me for it today so if you’re interested, you can check it out here. [Oops. I guess not yet. I'll let you know when.]
I’ll be back tomorrow hopefully with some shots of the new art wall in our bedroom. (I’ve been so bad about taking pictures around the house!) See you then.

Is that in Sweden?? It looks so not Scandinavian to me! I'm completely in love! That's where I want MY cabin!!
How exciting to be on a cabin hunt! My weekend was great, I bought a new sofa on finn.no (Norway's version of Craigslist) and it's amazing! Mr B was on a fishing trip so my daughter and I spent some quality time together and went to a bbq-party 14 other kids.

I think you're smart to wait — and you'll find your cabin. Sitting on a swing and watching the sunset over a lake is possibly one of the sweetest pleasures. Wishing you luck in your search, Alek!

So sorry to hear that the property wasn't all that you'd hoped. Knowing exactly what you want will be the key to finding your dream home away from home.

yes, hold out until you find that one just right. It will be your place of comfort.
Can't wait to see what you find/

Take your time to find the perfect one. You’ll find it, and if it’s anything like these that you have shown, I’ll be the first visitor !!!
Absolute heaven. XXXX

The more water around the better! And how wonderful it would be to have a little dock, right.

Absolutely stunning. Water is definitely a must-have for me… so I think you're right to hold out. You'll find it eventually and it will be well worth the wait!

I'd love to be swinging on that tree swing right about now- much more fun than work, thats for sure!

Oh I'm sorry you didn't find the perfect fit this weekend, but I'm certain you are going to find it and make sure it has spare room so that I can come and visit!
You have some lovely inspiration shots and I'm sure you'll find something that will fit the bill.

This is just beautiful. I'm impressed that you're comfortable taking your time in finding the perfect space. It's so much smarter than rushing which is what I'd do!

Never settle until your heart feels complete!
Oh I hear you! The outside of a cabin getaway is almost as important as the cabin itself. Maybe even moreso because you can always tear down the cabin and start from scratch.
LOVE that canopy bed photo.

This looks like the perfect setting! I think you should not give up any of your criteria!

Dagny: I'm pretty sure it is Sweden. That would only make sense since everything I love seems to be there! Luckily there are places that look like this in the Pacific Northwest so I'm hoping I find my piece of it!
K-Line: That's usually my approach too but 'm trying to be patient this time around. I would hate to find the perfect place after I settle for something(!)
always loved these photos — so summer perfect
