Fishtail Cottage Doors are open…

So its only mid April and the doors are wide open in this mid sixty degree weather!  Minus the flies that buzz in now and again, I love having the fresh air come in through our open doors… Our front door opens up to one of my favorite landscape aspects of the garden – it invites the outdoors in or the indoors out. I love this time of year because I feel that with the gardens coming to life it awakens the inside of my home décor to a better match for both inside and the outside of my home.

Hi! We like to open windows but not doors....too many critters and birds might get in. I love your cottage...so pretty!

It must be nice outside to have all the doors open, and I love the view looking out to front gate.
No screen doors? Or, is this more of a Canadian thing for letting the fresh air in, and keeping the bugs out!
Happy Easter.

What beautiful views you have....both inside and out! The weather has been so nice, except for a blustery day yesterday, but I'm loving it and everything around here is growing like crazy.

Enjoy the weather and your views:-)

Also, I love your front door. I'd like to paint our house all white and replace the white door with a nice wood one....add it to the list..lol!

Tracie, it's all so beautiful. I love that the front door runs you right through the back French doors.
It's cottage at its best my dear friend.
Tracie the changes you have made are just so inspiring, lovethe hutch filled with white pottery, and of course I would love it, I have one in my kitchen filled much like yours.
Come visit and see my canvas of white, painted cement floors.

Beautiful home!!! Is that called a 'dog trot', when front and back doors are opposite?? Southern homes usually have them. Happy Easter!

Your home is lovely! I especially like your front door. We are getting ready to build a home and I enjoy seeing other homes to get inspiration. I do love leaving the doors open when it gets warm enough - but then they time comes when we can't do that because of bugs - I do still have lots of open windows though (with screens).

Yes I do open everything when the weather warms up. I am very blessed to have beautiful full window storm doors though, with disappearing screens. So as I open the window the screen rolls down to let all the fresh air in & keep the insects out.

I also have a screened porch on the back of my house. So I open wide the French door & let the air in. It adds a whole room to my house that I love.

Yes Tracie, swing open those doors and let that wonderful fresh air in! Love how you see your beautiful rose arbor from the front door. Your home is cozy and warm both inside and out! Can't wait till garden party starts! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
