Fairytale Hausfrau: Fifteen English Homes

.

We’re an American family living just outside of Bitburg, in the scenic but often-damp Eifel countryside of far-western Germany. We got the crazy notion to buy a haus here, and even though it’s not the renovated barn/carriage house/crumbling country manor of our dreams, it’s pretty cool—when the plumbing and heating are working properly. When we aren’t traveling, we live a pretty quiet life. Stop by for frequent doses of Gemütlichkeit, which just basically means a sense of coziness and intimacy--and an unhurried pace to counter the frenetic nature of modern life. Doctor's orders! Oh, and a special hello to anyone visiting from the Spangdahlem Air Base community!

Fifteen English Homes

I picked up a tiny limited edition, numbered art book by John Dilnot at Liberty on Boxing Day, following a late Afternoon Tea with the fam. I spotted this little treasure on a sale table and knew I had to have it.
