White shingled, wooden houses with porches, Adirondack chairs, lighthouses, gray slate roofs, American flags, and boardwalks leading to the beach. This is what comes to mind when I think of New England Style. I have never been to the Hamptons or Cape Cod but they are firmly planted in my mind and there is a longing to go there one day and experience the American dream. That part of the world sums up the very essence of the good life to me - the sea, family and friends, dogs, good books, beautiful scenery, perfect houses, good food and wine.... one day I'll get there!

Oh Melissah, we have the same dream...such a wholesome, carefree lifestyle!!
this is a great dream isn't it and I love the way you describe it. I live on the California coast and I love living by the sea, hope someday to see how the other coast does it. :)

loved this post. It reminds me to put a little bit more Americana into my own slice of the "American Dream." Of course, life is lived, and never like a picture. But the goal of relaxed and open beauty is a beautiful one... accessible to us no matter where we live.

So funny Melissah I believe you guys have some of the best beaches in the world.
Hi, Melissah - I'm just going through your older posts, and love this one.
I've been lucky enough to go to Cape Cod a number of times - I would love to live there, but sadly, my job keeps me either in Chicago or Texas, so I just have to visit on vacation.
I love Cape Cod so much that when I moved to Texas, I moved into a development that have homes reminiscent of something you would find on Cape Cod, rather than the regular brick homes that are common with new developments around here.
I hope you get to visit Cape Cod one day!
