Love The One You're With- Chic Coles

Today's Love The One You're With comes from one creative family! I am happy to welcome the lovely ladies from

This Mother/Daughters team is so fun to follow along it is easy to forget you are not actually part of the family.....

We are thrilled to be here to today to share our "Love the one You're with" post! The first few images that came to mind were from a house we own in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I lived in this house until I was five and ever since then, we have all gathered in this home to celebrate Christmas. The pictures below are summer pictures (hence the greenery outside) but none the less, it is the house that I really do love. The house is old...not like some old houses that were built in the early 1600's but it is still an antique house that has some history.

This room is my room (it used to be the master bedroom with the two beds pushed together) but has since become mine when we stay in the house. There are two windows on the adjacent wall and look out at the large porch and mountains. There is nothing better than waking up to that view. (for photography sake, we used my moms zebra pillows that have been repeated a few times...)

This is my bathroom. It still has the old style sink which makes it very difficult to wash your face when you have hot and cold water coming out of two separate faucets, but I like the charm it holds and i'm glad we kept the original.

The kitchen is one of my favorite places in the whole house. Aside from the many memories it evokes whenever I think about it (from playing restaurant out of that window to making apple sauce in the fall) it is the place where everyone gathers while making dinner and spending time together.

All in all, I think the reason I "Love the one I'm with" with this home, is because it holds some really great memories! Thats what having a home is all about right?

Thank you again Marianne, we wish you the best of luck with you new office, and your new baby!

Thank you Melissa and the rest of the gang, that was a great post. As I was reading it I couldn't help picture Christmas in that house- waking up to snow on the mountains and a warm kitchen filled with family, just perfect!
