Backyard view of the Castle in the Forest I’ve been wanting to bring back my Sunday House Crush posts lately but haven’t really found anything that has been knocking my socks off… UNTIL NOW. This house/estate is officially called the Castle in the Forest, and while I have driven by it before, yesterday, as part …
Dogwood Tavern Renovation Stage 1 // Opening Up The Space
I SO wish I could have shared the renovation of the old Royal Oak into Dogwood Tavern with you in real time, but alas, I was forbidden. I ONLY wish I had not listened and done it anyway because I think these would have been a lot more fun to see as they were taking …
Sunday House Crush // Retro ’70s Time Capsule Cabin
Lately my Sunday House Crushes fall more into the quaint and quirky far-more-affordable-Airbnb-possibility than the incredible lakeside mansions I was falling for last year… and maybe if I delve into it a little bit deeper, it will give me a bigger glimpse at where my head is at… but until then, I’ll just keep it …
Sunday House Crush // Perfect Little Airbnb Cabin in Lake Arrowhead
This is just the cutest little cabin, I can’t even stand it! I love the exterior and the land and the interior is already adorable but has potential to be even better. I’d snatch this up in a second for an Airbnb if I had the cash right now because I love it and the …
Sunday House Crush // Major Curb Appeal
I haven’t done a Sunday House Crush post in a while. Mostly I’ve been too busy, but I think part of it has to do with the fact that I’ve been completely resisting the idea of actually having to sell my house and to do some serious (and real) house hunting. Maybe I’m overthinking it… …
All the Ajax in the World Ain’t Gonna Clean Your Dirty Laundry
What I’m Wearing… * Red pants & jacket by Reigning Fury – I’m wearing a small in both. * Long sleeve crop top – – -IT WAS a classic cotton/jersey ballet leotard that was too small/short, so I cut off the crotch and it’s one of my favorite crop tops. I love the fit and …
Sunday House Crush // Fairytale Fortress
Way up high on the mountain, this newly built home looks like a fortress straight out of a fairytale, and I kind of LOVE IT! It borders between magical and haunting in a way, and I just love the way it looks in the snow! It’s the perfect winter mountain home for those who want …
Sunday House Crush // The Ferber House in Lake Arrowhead
I wanted to share this amazing house last week, but since it was Easter, I thought I’d wait until this Sunday, today! But since then, it now has a pending offer… and I can totally see why; it’s really cool and the price is fairly reasonable, considering. Admittedly, I wasn’t familiar with this architect until …
Sunday House Crush // Pretty Yellow Double A-Frame Mountain Home
Doesn’t this just look like the cutest house you’d see in a movie? Maybe it’s the bright photo and the cute hedge lined with flowers or maybe it’s just me? But I love the double A-Frame architecture here and while I may not love the yellow, it sure makes it feel cheery! I’d probably swap …
Sunday House Crush // Bright, Charming, Woodsy & A Library!
I hope you love these Sunday House Crush posts as much as I do. Occasionally I veer away from my local area, but not often, so I hope they don’t bore you. There are just so many homes available up here in Lake Arrowhead that are amazing and I love when I see a pending …
Sunday House Crush // Rustic Modern Fairytale House
I LOVE this house. Well mostly, I LOVE THIS KITCHEN. NO, mostly, I love the whole house. But I especially LOVE the kitchen. And I have to say that of all the homes I’ve found, it’s rare to find one updated and decorated up here in a way that doesn’t make me cringe! Maybe it’s …
Sunday House Crush // Open Architecture & Dream Bathroom
I actually spotted this home on an Instagram story of a local realtor up here, Michelle Calkins, who consistently makes me giggle via her stories, as well as keeps me in the loop about what’s going on locally in our liitle community. Definitely follow her if you’re a local! This house is about a minute …
Sunday House Crush // Old North Shore Estate on the Lake
I’m having so much fun with these Sunday house crush posts because it really gives me a chance to peek around the real estate on the mountain, especially into areas I can’t go by car or foot! There are so many really amazing places up here that you never really know about unless maybe you’re …
Sunday House Crush // Liberace’s Mountain Home
I stumbled upon this listing and found my jaw dropping at each consecutive click to the next photo, because I’ve never seen anything like this house up here (in Lake Arrowhead). It just sort of seems out of place among all the very cabin style mountain homes -though it is trying to keep a mountain …
Sunday House Crush // Open Floor Plan & Windows!
I am slightly OBSESSED with this mountain house. I LOVE the layout and open floor plan and I love most of the upgrades done to it, which is rare. Oftentimes I’d rather just find a really cool place that hasn’t been touched, but this place is move-in ready. I would make a few small changes, …
