Weekly Wrap-Up: The Quiet Life

We are hanging on to summer for dear life and ignoring the fact that September is just around the bend. Last week our sister sites celebrated garden and home design in Maine; this week, they continue their rural fixation, spotlighting inspired properties in the English countryside. Here are some highlights.
