It is odd to be out and about and to, suddenly and unexpectedly, run smack dab into a storybook house.
When I say I ran smack dab into it, I mean it figuratively. Today I was many miles away from Bellingham, in the woods up by Mount Baker, and I could not resist taking a photo of this place. I was out on a short walk and there it was. I did not know just who to expect, Lil' Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, a witch, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Peter Pan and Charles Buell, or is that Tinkerbell, no matter the same thing. It must be amusing to live in a house like this, all the possibilities. Grandkids would sure love it. But would your friends think you were a bit nutso? A little too cute perhaps?
A couple years ago, I actually inspected a storybook house of a similar design, but it was not nestled in the forest.
This house was really compact inside, almost like a mobile home. I also remember that going up onto that deck, if you were about six feet tall, you had to be careful or you would whack your head on the bottom of that scalloped front fascia.
