Little Houses

Ever since I was young, I've been in love with different kinds of small scale homes. I wanted to live in the gingerbread house from Candyland, the treehouse from Punky Brewster, the tree caves that Winnie The Pool lived in, and it's still my dream to convert an old lighthouse into a retreat. I came across an article on this month's issue of Cottage Living about a converted bird house. Yes, a bird house. This small structure called a pigeonnier was built on the grounds of a Louisiana estate around 1750. Its original function was to house pigeons which, at that time, were considered haute cuisine. Isn't it the cutest?
