Funky and Fab - House Tour

A blast of fabulously cold air blew in on Sunday and it is so cozy and wonderful! A welcome change from the spring weather we were having. I am in a holiday frame of mind now and ready for some turkey next week. 

I wanted to share a home tour with you all. I saved this way back in September while on my little 'blog hiatus' and forgot all about it until I was sorting through my pictures this weekend. This home belongs to friends of some friends and is for sale. I don't know why they are selling, it is fabulous! The contractor that worked on my house also did the work in this one. He left his trademark woodwork details in every room he touched. The result is a fun, funky, warm and cozy family home. Enjoy!


This is the comfy, family room side of the great room


And this is the kitchen side... so much space!




I love all of the lighting...the lanterns and the sconces on the sink wall





The wooden top of the island was made from the flat-bed of an old truck!


Wonderful beverage center



The dining room... love the contrast of the rustic ceiling and contemporary lighting

If you have any questions about the house, leave me a comment and I will put you in touch with the realtor.

Happy Tuesday!

Retro, Modern and Cool


Tired of my "Queen" post? I am! This has been another one of those weeks and each time I had a moment to sit at the computer and compose something fabulous (said with sarcasm), I was too pooped! Getting some rest sounded like a better idea. I know that my family appreciated that option, so thanks for not holding it against me.

I came across this fantabulous home the other day, as I was cruising real estate listings. I have mentioned before that this is one of my little hobbies. It is a lot easier than attending "open houses" on Sunday afternoons and the selection is much better. I also think that it is a good way to get design ideas. Well, it's mostly design "don'ts" but when you come across a listing like this one, it is so worth it. How cute is this home?

The groovy orange door and the turquoise planters let you know something fabulous awaits you inside!

cool pop-o-green

Aaahh. Ghost chairs - never tire of them

clean and crisp



I don't know why, but I LOVE this picture. Notice the uber fantastic, lucite hand rails




Okay, is this the coolest nursery ever? This little one will grow-up to be some kind of awesome.
Love the retro, kitsch mural

Have a ultra-cool weekend.
