you've done a great job creating a sweet space for yourself on a low budget!

a outdoor courtyard in the middle of the house with plants and tables and fruit trees and nooks to hang out in. a giant room with workout equipment including a full-sized trampoline. a heated indoor pool with hot tub and tons of lounge chairs around it - like a hotel pool where friends could hang out all year round. probably should be a showering area and steam room nearby. a lovely english garden (with gardener) out back. a music room with a concert grand piano and lots of different instruments to have impromptu jam sessions. tennis court would be awesome. i could gone on and on. guess i should start buying lottery tickets!

you two are adorable, your dog is adorable, and i love the serenity of this room. what is name/maker of the blue paint? so curious why the photos show only one half of the room - i am DYING to see the other side with the windows and view that you mention!

this is wonderful. like northstory, i love the combo of white and wood - natural, soothing, yum. even better with a little bit of plant life thrown in. i'm curious what's in the corner with the folding wooden chair - is there a bookshelf back there, or a shelf or just a hanging spider plant? thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven.

i love this transformation! the before kitchen feels suffocating, but when i look at the after, i breath a sigh of relief - spacious, sleek, unique, beautiful. and i just checked out the rest of your house - this kitchen fits perfectly with your aesthetic. i love the back story, too, as i've lived in my house for many years without a functioning kitchen while i decide what to do with it. there's hope! though i wish i had your nerve to just up and start renovating! nice job - love the freestanding wooden cabinet. gads - can't believe that "no upper cabinets" could create such an uproar - not sure why people can't appreciate others' different approaches to style even if the choices are not something they would choose to do in their own spaces. thanks for sharing!

this is great - looks like a room in a chic boutique hotel. very stylish yet warm, inviting and relaxing. nice! if the headboard is wicker, we had two of the same ones in white at my family's shore house in the 70s/80s. brings back memories!

this is wonderful! a sophisticated, adult bedroom with charm and style, unlike the cookie cutter adult bedrooms with giant matching bedroom furniture and no taste or flair. bravo!

this is lovely - serene yet interesting. great job. cute dog, too!

this is beautiful - so serene and inviting. sophisticated and warm. i could spend hours camped out on that sofa in the sunroom. love the glass dividing wall. great use of space throughout. thanks for sharing!

that staircase is so cool!! reminds me of the million lego pieces my brother had growing up in the 70s. isn't lego sold as kits now that you use to build something specific, kind of like a model? can you still buy individual pieces and create your own designs?
