I am a confessed “house snooper”. If I happen to see a home that I think is lovely I will make every effort to walk by that home more times than I care to reveal. I especially love walking by at night where I might catch a glimpse of the prettiness that I am just certain dwells inside.

When I find a beautiful home in a magazine or online that features pictures of the inside my heart starts to beat a bit faster. It may even skip a beat or two. Such was my reaction to this lovely house owned by Claire Cottrell that I found over on the Freunde von freunde site.

Besides all the obvious details such as all that natural light, all that white and wood, what makes this home just so lovely to me is its unpretentious, lived in feeling. Nothing feels too perfect or fussed with. It feels like someone lives here who cares a great deal for their home but doesn’t take it too seriously. I’m smitten.

    OF COURSE you’re not alone at this! I like how the freunde von freunden-team doesn’t overstyle the homes for shootings. The places actually look like someone lives there – beautiful, but not perfect, there’s always some space left for the homeowner’s personality.

      Hi Lena-that is exactly right! As much as I love beautiful interiors I really do tend to be drawn to those home that aren’t overstyled. So nice to see you here. :)

    I like walking at dusk too when people’s curtains and shutters are still open, but lights are on and you can peek inside. Now so many homes for sale have interior pictures on the real estate sites, it’s fun to surf there too, although sometimes much of the personality of the people is already cleared out. Which is good for selling the house, not so good for décor enthusiasts!

      Hi Deb-thanks for stopping by! Yes to looking on real estate sites. I have found a few Scandinavian sites where the homes they have for sale and pics they have of the interiors are so lovely! I’m glad I’m not the only house snooper out there! ;)
