Moomin House

MOOMIN HOUSE

Adorable. The odd windows, the swirly railings, and not to mention the whole pleasantly plump shape - it all looks like it grew up right from the ground. Those two little rooftop gardens, complete with attic window, would be so lovely to look out upon in spring and summer! I would make sure to plant some butterfly-attracting flowers there. (Said the girl who would be forever haunted by the ghost of her dead cactus...)

On a more somber note, this place is located in Japan, somewhat near the coast from what I can tell. My very saddest sympathies and prayers go out to Japan, of course.

Ack. So precious! Thanks for pointing out that charming charming attic window into its own meadow! WOW!

Laughing at your cactus joke. But you are so right butterfly attracting plants must be planted there.

Hoping that there is a there still there. ;{

I wish I had a fairy house ! Really fantastic !

You should listen to the band " Blackmore's Night ". Songs like "Loreley" or "Fires at Midnight" are just magic, and I'm sure you will like it !
