In your ultimate dream house, what does your favorite room look like?
i love modern clean design. my dream room looks similar to the current dwell magazine cover. i think it would have reddish-orange walls, high ceilings, cork flooring, curved openings to adjoining rooms. in the center of the main living would be a large atrium with a swing, a hammock and a large dining table with 10 chairs. simple green plants, maybe a small herb garden, gravel, large stone pathway, a fountain. it would all be a part of the main living area. sliding pocket windowed doors all around for easy access and fresh air.
it's one of my dreams to design and build a home for us. i want a rock climbing wall, a gym, an art space, office, bedrooms, modern open kitchen (part of the living area i described before), a couple bathrooms… so exciting. i've started a sketch book with drawings and clippings, mostly from dwell, that i hope one day i'll be pouring over with a talented architect and my husband and eliot!
outfits: yesterday i wore sweats at home. sunday i wore an army green hummingbird tee with a crocheted orange tank dress over it and my brown angel cords and sunday night i put on a white tank with my cords and one of my heartshapedsky necklaces (andy said i looked smokin') .
Uncle Wally is building his house now, he is putting in a firemans pole from the 2nd floor to the first and a secret spinning wall between the boys rooms so they can sneak into each others rooms. He is also building it 'green' he is putting up several solar panels to support energy consumption. It is really cool, but It seems kind of industrial. The floors will all be polished concrete and the whole house is going to be concrete. AND you ARE smokin!
that's so exciting, i'd love to see it. my house will be "green" as well! i'm totally into the concrete thing too.
Really? I always think cold with concrete, when it is done (about a year) I will take lots of pictures and show you.
