Rob and I have a dream of building a home together someday. We've spent many hours talking over ideas and finding inspiration on Pinterest ... visiting places like Fioli and the Hearst Castle to get ideas ... learning their styles and how people built homes back then.

On our road trips, we often pullover for abandon places that catch our eye ... taking a quick break to explore around like we were little kids ... giving you those little butterflies of uncertainty in your stomach. They are full of so many details that give them such a bigger story. I think of them as accidental beauty ... It's so interesting to picture in your mind what these places were like in their prime and capture the stories they still tell today.

Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... what are your favorite "Accidental Beauties?"
