Very cozy!! Was wondering: where is this cute little creature, seating next to boy's bed, came from? The one with Argyle pattern on the sweater.
And the face pillow in baby's bed?

From what I've heard August is the worse time to go - most of Europe and especially France is off work and on the road to take a vacation. I see it on the news every year - autobanhs are filled with cars bumper to bumper.

I think it is gorgeous!!!!... I love love love it ...
but ... how practicall exactly is it? I have to agree with previous commenter: where can i relax, put my feet up, feel free... and ... oh, god forbid, kids....
Obviously this couple don't have kids even remotely close to their life... and "unfortunately" most people do have kids so when designing interiors it has to be taken into consideration ...

But still... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT ...
may be in another life i'll have something like that? :)))

We used to tie both handles together with the rope, while window is slightly open, so it leaves a little bit of room in between for air.

From what I see on HGTV they always say a tub is a must. I can't think why.. but that's what they say ...
On the other hand if you think of a family with a small children... that's the only case you, imho, need a tub.
Like someone already said here: in your case with 250sf of space - family with kids is unlikely to be interested in your place :))

While I like the whole house and it's pretty much my taste, but I do have to say that it lacks some uniqueness. What I mean is: if I look at it and can tell pretty much where everything came from (mostly WestElm and some Ikea) - that's too predictable. And don't get me wrong - this is something I'm trying to fight in my own house, I have plenty of it too.
I'm learning not to be "off the rack".

I always imagine that art on the walls should be unique, not store bought... Here I see West Elm's art above the couch.

With all that said, I still like the overall feel of the house. Peacefull and relaxing. Good job guys!

It's a bit too preppy and clean for my style, but I still think it's very tastefully done, I just love the cozy backyard! I can never achieve it, no matter what I do.
Great job, guys!!
