Absolutely the most gorgeous house tour i have ever seen on AT. Not all my style but no matter your style is thru and thru every room and the whole is just stunning!

love all the creative organizing/problem solving decisions. definitely saving this one in my dream house file!

you and your family should be very proud of creating such a wonderful home.

i wish AT would have the BIG OVERVIEW photos FIRST and then focus on all the little details. have no idea what this place looks like. is a photographer issue? or editorial? whatever, its annoying to want to see a place and come away with no idea what the WHOLE looks like.

also curious as to the Bathroom and Kitchen ... and closets??? and the size.. man that would be hard to leave - however, it seems to be on the TOP floor - that is probably the clencher with a new baby - schlepping stuff up and down stairs is bad enough without a baby in tow.

also wish AT would have floor plans with these tours. there is so much that is left out many times...

agree with other posters. this is a lovely house full of charm and personal delight. its inspiring for those of us also on budgets. sometimes looking at high end house tours is depressing - this one is uplifting for the innovation and creativity evident in every room.

bravi !

alarm goes off, sleeping cat yawns, we get out of bed
turn on bbc radio 3
feed one cat, check food for other cat
make espresso - wash face, brush teeth etc
heat milk and combine to make latte
sit with latte and cats and enjoy
pack lunch
dress and out the door

all that takes about an hour. one goal this year is to wake 10-15 mins earlier each week until one hour earlier - to add exercise to morning routine. starts next week !

echo the British tv series marathons. VERA, DCI BANKS, INSPECTOR LEWIS, and revisiting MORSE (with the new prequel series ENDEAVOR down the road) and things like THE GOOD LIFE, Vicar of Dibley and many other comedies which they do so well and the Brit mysteries like the ones above and BLUE MURDER, COMMANDER. etc etc. plus old favs like Poirot and Marple and ....

Irish - Ballykissangel

Thanks to Netflix and AVOD for having access to these.

Now you have to be a hard core fan like me to get things like FORBRYDELSEN and BORGEN (DNR TV) which you have to acquire by rather stealthy methods... but FORBYDELSEN I and II have been unbelievable.

am just now finishing up II and have four eps left... which I am saving for friday night. and that is hard - series III is being aired on BBC now so will have to wait til finish this and maybe save it up as its the LAST of this series... (boo hoo).


Sleep, What's That? The Five Most Addictive Shows on Netflix

The PRIME Library is great if you love British Comedys and Dramas and Mysteries. and many other popular US tv series.

NOTE TO AMAZON - WHERE IS HOMELAND 2?????

For non free TV shows, the SEASON PASS is a tad cheaper per episode than iTunes' shows. Although I hate that there are exclusives on some tv shows with iTunes first and then Amazon much later or not at all.

Am at the point where I basically refuse to watch live commercial tv unless I absolutely have to - between DVR (with lots of space) and ROKU (HULU, AMAZON VOD, NETFLIX) and my Plex Media server (for media on my network)- I rarely watch realtime tv.

yeah for technology and time shifting!

I also love the buyanditshereintwodays shipping. rarely do i need something so quickly that I cant wait two days... and several times its been delivered the next day.

BTW I do support my local grocery/deli/meat market and local hardware store. Fast delivery is great but not for everything.

As for the KINDLE library - I didnt realize you could rent a book. I hope it works for us Android users (Nexus 7). will check it out.

OMG this is the first house/property on AT that i would move into and not change a thing. this is now my dream house! so perfect. well, maybe a bigger garden .. but with the fields to tend, i guess there is only so much time.

love it love it love it.

oh gatineauhill... fabulously funny !

wow great ideas here.. and as many have said, visit me or make an appt.

my tiny tiny apt in a village where the norm is million dollar huge houses is a revelation for many of my friends. the ratio of apts to houses is tiny and there is no housekeeper in my budget.

i tried to find the link. but i had read a tribute to Jobs after his death and the author mentioned meeting with Jobs. He brought his iPhone and a yellow legal pad and pen. and proceeded to take notes of the meeting on the pad... not sequential ... line after line ... but as a sort of map ... he had notes written in different quadrants on the page.

wish i could see that!


Note To Self: Pen & Paper or App?

what about a short loft - or a captains bed - two or three drawer height dressers under the bed - can it fit horizontally along the back wall... and have the dressers under it ... put curtains in front and create a builtin bed... like an alcove...

or do the same but in the corner ... raise the bed to get it a different level from everything else and storage underneath allows you to get rid of the unit against that opposite wall and have more space and the illusion of a bigger room
