Stacy Ling of 'Bricks 'n Blooms' is an avid gardener with her elegant, 1850's farm house that she decorated.  Warm and with nostalgic overtones:

That floor!

Love the way she mixes her lush growing plants with everything--

Stunning interior architecture--

Her neice crocheted the charming tree skirt:

Her tawny palette extends to her table settings.  She mixes newer flameless candles, with vintage brass holders.

Love the homespun applique'd pillow--

She's lucky enough to have a sunroom, which might be my favorite--

Noticed her vintage milk glass scattered around, like this dainty ruffled Silver Crest bowl holding ornaments.  The majestic deer reminds me of our sweet @ECBG ,  who loved to decorate at Christmas....

I couldn't find a winter exterior view of the house, but here it is in warm weather.

What a gorgeous home and so beautifully decorated!  By any chance, do you know where in Jersey this is @Oznell ?

Beautiful home! I love the summer garden, black eyed susans enmass always catch my eye! The double doors are a wonderful greeting for guests and I love urns. The majestic deer is a focal point, I think I can almost hear him snorting!

@Oznell   Although it's missing a fur baby or two, it is beautiful.   Thank you for sharing.

@Citrine1 ,  I was curious too.  She says on her blog that it is in northern New Jersey, in Gardening Zone 6a, or was it b?

 

@buddysgirl ,  that's good to hear, thanks!  And hope you have a wonderful holiday, too.

 

@luvzchiz ,  ha, I'm glad you mentioned critters.   Went back and found some.  I think she said their names were Bodie and Koda.  This was a Hallowe'en caper, apparently.  Her naughty but beloved pups got into the pumpkins...   She describes this as their mug shot.  They are impossibly cute and 'penitent'...

Here's a more relaxed moment below...

Found a few different interior shots of the dining room while I was looking:

She has exquisite taste.
