Sessions Drive, Bexley, Ohio



If you're thinking the image above looks like a fairy tale house, you're right- it does.  So much so that I'm going to break protocol and show you the actual house:


Yep, still a fairy tale.  This is a 1954 charmer from Bexley, Ohio.  Let's hurry and get inside before the magic fades.


This sweet living room just needs some pretty antiques and a polished palette:



This pretty and polished space will give us cues for the rest of the house.

The living room opens onto the dining room:


I took further inspiration from Loi and wanted to find rooms with beautiful fixtures that you might find in his shop.

This lovely vaulted bedroom is definitely fit for a princess:


Let's just make it more magical:


This bedroom already features a lantern pendant plucked from a story illustration...


...that I think would illuminate this dream of a dollhouse in true fairy-tale fashion:


Finally, I can think of only one thing this perfectly landscaped back yard needs to make it fairy tale perfect:


A guest cottage like this for me to stay in!

All in all, this house is definitely one to inspire sweet dreams.
