Since Coop dog and I do a lot of walking around the neighborhood, I'm always looking at other peoples homes. One of the cool things I've noticed are these unique driveways. I'm not even sure what they're called, but I love the idea of keeping a grass strip in the middle of the pavement. Not only is it much easier on the eye than a big slap of concrete (or "impervious surface" as hubs would say), it allows water to absorb into the ground, allowing less run off. Sweet - I'll take one please.
and then I went looking online and found this… I mean, need I say more?

And I had to throw this house in here just because I really dig it too. It has blue-gray shingles all over and thick gray lacquer paint on the porch. Too bad I don't know the owners, I'd sure love a tour inside. Hmm… maybe I'll work on that.
Now I'm stalking your blog! Will and I are obsessed with these driveways too. We think at some point we'll rip up our asphalt one and do the same. I think it suits our house, I'm just hoping it suits the topography of our yard. But can't you just pictures some little crocuses springing up between the hard surfaces in the spring? LOVE. xo
