Aha! Good one. Those packages give me hives.

I was just looking at it in dismay last night. A large basket of fruit/veggies...a banana stand (unused because the junk keeps knocking it over)...a wicker picnic basket containing my daughters' tea set...a Fiesta butter dish bottom pining away for a top...misc noisy toys that are in "timeout"...all three of our insulated lunch bags (is there *ever* a good/convenient place for these without a pantry?)...an envelope of name stickers to label school items...

And this is all in the 6" of space between the fridge and cabinet above it. I hate clutter so I get a twitch every time I walk by it.

I could be the freak minority but I want to hide the actual devices away, as well. I dislike the look of those scattered around as much as the wires. Something cabinet-like (even art-like?) that mounts right over the outlet to hide it, and accomodates the strip and cords and devices all inside, managed so they don't get tangled up. Still searching!

It is nice enough, but like John H, I have seen far too many trough sink/wall faucet setups lately and I cannot wrap my head around this trend. I would quickly tire of cleaning both a square-cornered sink, and the wall paint around the faucets that will inevitably get splashed, dirty, and/or soapy. To me this looks like a public restroom...the heat register and exposed plumbing increase that sensation. The color, lighting, shapes and materials just feel cold to me.

I am breathless. This house is the happiest, most gorgeous but playful space. I was already drooling, and then halfway through the slideshow FELL OFF MY CHAIR when I realized this home is on the beach as well. Something like this is my lifelong dream. Thank you for sharing the photos!
