Sessions Drive, Bexley, Ohio
If you're thinking the image above looks like a fairy tale house, you're right- it does. So much so that I'm going to break protocol and show you the actual house:
Yep, still a fairy tale. This is a 1954 charmer from Bexley, Ohio. Let's hurry and get inside before the magic fades.

This lovely vaulted bedroom is definitely fit for a princess:
Let's just make it more magical:

...that I think would illuminate this dream of a dollhouse in true fairy-tale fashion:

Finally, I can think of only one thing this perfectly landscaped back yard needs to make it fairy tale perfect:
A guest cottage like this for me to stay in!

All in all, this house is definitely one to inspire sweet dreams.
