We drove past this old abandoned house (and surprisingly many similar to it) on our way to Southern Ostrobothnia to meet Minna’s family. Every time we drive past it I wonder aloud to Minna how lovely it would be to live in a house like that, to repair it and make it lovely again. I love the green roof, the windows and the pretty little porch - it is such a perfect little house. It always makes me sad to see these beautiful old homes abandoned and forgotten.

Speaking of houses, Ana at Rearranged Design featured our little home in her series of house tours. Click here to read it!
