Be Here Later

May I suggest that one of you renovates your kitchen to look exactly like this:

...and then invites me to join you for a glass of wine and snacks at approximately 6 pm?

(PS: I call the banquette.)

Can't You Just Taste the Egg Nog?

I absolutely LOVE this room. Silver and baby blue trees totally work for me:

I want to live in these rooms...

(You know how I love the juxtaposition of warm and cool.)

You Can Take the Girl Out of Toronto...

Rather amusingly, today when I was looking through Apartment Therapy in my reader, I came upon this:

I thought to myself: Wow, that's a nice room in a totally real way. It's not matchy, it's not "perfect". The colours are lively, the decor eclectic.

And then I opened the actual post and discovered it's a place down the block from me. OK, not entirely down the block - maybe 2 km away - but you get the point. The house is entirely the same vintage as mine. In truth, I like my house better (it is my house after all), but it's amusing that the photo caught my eye for its existential familiarity.

Upside Down

I do like this room:

Gotta appreciate a space with floors for ceilings. It maintains visual warmth, while allowing the cool to circulate.

I'm enjoying the splash of colour from the comic book art and the get-it-on furniture. I bet this space really comes to life during a Friday night dinner party with some good lighting and sharp tunes.

I do think it needs a spectacular view out that window, though.

Take the A-Frame

OMG.

Do you suppose this thing comes with a pool??

Urban Gardens

Ah, to be amongst the ultra-chic Apartment Therapy crowd... (I do love tidy, geometric spaces.)

If you enjoy a gorgeous, pared-down city garden, then check this out.

It's Not Too Late...

...to buy me a pool.
