House By the Sea

Recently I've been feeling a little cramped in my 650 square foot condo. This has prompted me to look at larger, more permanent places. If I had a lot of money, I think I'd build a simple house by the ocean like this Nova Scotia cottage feautured in the New York Times. Can you imagine being so close to the sea you could go outside in your own backyard and feel the sea spray and smell the salt air?

And in the spring, you could walk among all these pretty, purple flowers...

And at the end of the day, relax on one of these deck chairs and  take in the beautiful sunset.
