You’ve asked for a house tour. I’m here to deliver. Over the next three days I’ll show you the house from bottom to top.

We don’t live in the typical dutch house. We are in a modern home outside Delft Centrum. When I say modern I mean Frank Lloyd Wright modern. We have large glass windows on all outer walls and lots of sharp angles. Everyone in our neighborhood has a bit more room then you would in a typical dutch canal home, and we have a lovely yard.

We are enjoying the extra indoor space, as we have plenty of room to play on rainy days. When the sun peaks its head out, the rain quickly dries and we rush outside to play. We are a twenty minute bike ride into Delft. We are close to a few other small towns with grocery store and other amenities. Our neighborhood includes several farms, lots of animals, canals and even a windmill.

Come on in.

  1. Hey Elizabeth,

    I came over on Twinkly Tuesdays today, and I’m glad to find your site.

    I love all of the light and the big windows in your home! Thanks for sharing all of the pictures.

    We are living in a place that doesn’t have much natural light, and I really miss those windows.

    Hope you have a blessed day~

  2. Gorgeous house, I love those stairs!!! I’m so glad to have found your blog – we’re off to Holland on Saturday. We stay in our Grandfather’s flat in The Hague and we’re looking for things to do since it will be too rainy to spend most days soaking up the sun in Scheveningen. Off to read your archives now!!!
