Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, when we celebrate the things that make us happy. Here’s what got my heart pounding a little harder today: this sweet cottage in Carmel, California, featured on Lookiloos (love that site!). It was built in the 1920s as a caretaker’s cottage.
It’s on the market for about $5 million, which means I can buy it if I can come up with, let’s see, about $4.9 million! (Maybe if I checked under my sofa cushions…)
You can read all about it and see the rest of the beautiful photos at Lookiloos.
Stop by Melissa’s Beautiful Life party in full swing today at The Inspired Room, too!
Now it’s your turn to tell us what you’re hooked on today! If you have something to share with us on your blog, then add your link below. Just please be sure to:

Sorry we missed your “hooked on . . .” yesterday. (We’re actually hooked on Christina Ricci’s house, which we posted on Friday.) Anyway, we LOVE this Carmel cottage! Be sure to let us know if it belongs to someone famous!

I love those floors…amazing.
I’ve never been to Lookiloos before, but it sounds like a site I would enjoy, me being so nosy and all. 
Wish I could have joined the party last week!

I love lookiloos, too! I am fairly sure I first found them through you, so thank you.
And if I could rip that caretaker’s apron-front kitchen sink out…my day would be made.

So charming. . . I could be a caretaker if my little cottage looked like that!
Thanks for hosting the party.

I love those houses! When I lived in Pebble which is right next to it we used to cruise them. My mom looked at a few of them to buy, but they are so small! She just couldn’t bring herself to live in such a tiny house. Did you know that they don’t have addresses (at least they didn’t 10 years ago when we lived there)? They only have house names and use a post office for mail

If you’ve never been to Carmel, its worth visiting just to walk around and look at all of the charming cottage style houses!
I was blessed to grow up in Carmel Valley. Carmel is charming: O the shopping, the ocean, the fresh air, the cottages! But to escape the fog and the crowds, and to experience a slice of life my great grandmother lived in 1930, check out our secret hideaway. One guest dubbed The Ranch House, Carmel Valley’s “Little Ahwahnee”, and we think the name fits! I dare say this place corners the word “charming” – just check out the guest book to read what others have said! Thanks for letting me share our secret home with you! Take a peek, and let us give you a warm Carmel Valley welcome.
