I am hooked on storybook homes! Quaint, cozy, and modeled after fairy-tale cottages… what’s not to love? While they might not be your cup of tea to live in, they are at least enjoyable to look at… and Douglas Keister’s (my favorite architecture photographer!) photography website sure has enough photos to keep you hooked!

Did you know there is even a great website dedicated to storybook-style homes? Check out Storybookers.com!

There is something about these homes that make me want to explore the inside.

Haven’t got enough? Check out Storybook Styles on Amazon.
And if that isn’t enough, why not consider moving to your very own storybook village?
See what everyone else is hooked on this Friday!
Wow! Thanks for posting the link to the storybook home website. I also enjoy these homes…sometimes they have some inspiring homes featured in Cottages & Bungalows magazine.
these are so cute! you see them so rarely in real life- that’s too bad. thanks for sharing the fun pictures.
Love that last photo! I could live in one of these.
Right out of a Fairy Tale…, so adorable.
I don’t know if I would want to live in one, but I love the architecture. Thanks for the post!
Love these homes! I found one in Apopka, FL and took 35 photos of it because I liked it so much! It wasn’t for sale or I would have bought it in a minute! Now, where did I put all of those photos . . .
Yes…rightout of a fairy tale. Wouldn’t it be a blast to live in one??? Labor of love!
How fabulous, they remind me of Europe
Beautiful houses – such character!! I would LOVE to live in a place like this! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, love those homes. I’ll have to check him out. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been thinking of ways to make my track house a little more fairytale-ish. Great ideas.
Oh. My. Such a dream come true! I think any of those would be so much more fun adapt to living in than some ultra large modern home. Thanks so much for sharing (and for the links)!
I’m hooked on Blue & Green decor today (and always) for the HOH link party, if you want to check it out..
These are so charming! I remember the Cottage Living spread. They possess such an interesting story, too. Can you imagine living in one…and spinning your own fairy tale. cheers, -susan
What a fun post! These are all so charming. They really do look like something out of a storybook! Thanks for joining the party and sharing these with us. Just Stumbled it!
I wish I had many lives. I could live each one in a different style home. A story-book style would definitely be on my ‘bucket list’!!
Thanks for such a terrific post.

I love this idea! I’ve always thought to myself one day when I’m old and everyone’s gone, I’ll turn a lil shack into a whimsical ‘storybook’ home! This inspires me to dream of what I would do…
Oh yeah, did I tell you that you inspired me to start our own lil ‘series’ on our blog?!
I remember seeing that spread in Cottage Living! So charming.

Thanks so much for the post. I am currently looking at the designs and whereithals to build one of my own. Please kkep up the great work and “make dreams come true”. Afterall the modern market of mass produced rubbish has nothing on the unique and quiant place SB architecture and builds hold.
P.
I stumbled across your blog, and I was wondering if there are any questions that I can answer? Looks like I’m jumping in here a little late, but the Storybook style of architecture is my life and my passion.

These storybook houses are absolutely stunning! They really look like something out of a fairytale! Another impressive storybook home is The Witch House in Beverly Hills. It is now the residence of a real estate agent named Michael Libow. You can’t miss this wonderful house! thanks for sharing those great links with us! lovely post!
