I love rainy days! Especially when I'm caught up on my work, the kids are doing their thing, and I'm left to do whatever my little heart desires! Most of the time its sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a throw watching a movie that is reflective of the mood I'm in at that particular time. Well today, since the kids are home, I've pretty much given them the run of the house while I am holed up in my bedroom in my bed, which by the way, I love! No, there's not anything all that special about it except, I have nice bedding and lot's of pillows! It's soft and warm and just a heavenly place to be on a day like today! Anyhoo, I digress! I'm sitting in my bed with my laptop, iPad, iPhone, magazines, hot tea, and pistachios at hand! This is what I call heaven!
Okay, so the movie I'm watching is Somethings Gotta Give (romantic comedy, 2003), with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. I love this movie! It's so funny, has a great cast, and the set design is incredible! Of course, as soon as it was available on DVD, I pounced on it! I dream of having a beach house like the one Diane Keaton has in this movie! From the time Jack Nicholson and Amanda Peet pull into the drive of this home and open the front door, I am in a state of awe! Daydreaming! Hoping! Wishing! Praying that one day I would be able to design a home like this for me and my family! Ahhh, again, this is what I call heaven! This beach home is set in the Hamptons. Who wouldn't want a beach house in the Hamptons? But for me, there are so many areas closer to where I live, where this home would fit in quite nicely also have the charming markets and shops to spend the morning browsing and shopping!
I hear angels singing! Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!
I would love to have a porch, veranda, lanai, portico...whatever suits your fancy!
This picture just does not do justice to the room as it is shown in the movie! You guys have got to see this room! It literally makes me swoon!
Rooms should be lovely to look at and wonderful to live in! Jack has no problem here enjoying all this room has to offer! And boy, you should have seen him jump off this sofa when he heard Diane drive up from her date with Keanu Reeves! Too Funny!
If your room is large enough to have intimate areas for other activities, then definitely take advantage of this! In every interior I design, I always try to carve out a space where one can sit quietly to enjoy reading, napping, or what have you, but still be apart of the larger room.
What a great place to read and enjoy a nice glass of wine or a cup of hot tea!
Such a wonderful dining area that is roomy, cozy, can be casual or formal, and has a place to display treasured collectibles!
This kitchen is totally my dream! I would be so happy with the different work areas and the storage space! Are you kidding me! Oh my Lord! There is a place for my cookbooks (yes, I look through them from time to time and dream about trying some of the recipes!). Look at all of the surfaces to prep and make pretty! Lol! I say make pretty because sadly, there is just not a lot of prepping going on in my kitchen! Well, I've always said that if I had a kitchen like this I would cook more! I would! Really!
So pretty!
I need that range! Yes, I would use it!
Oh my gosh! Look at all of the storage! For an organzation fanatic like me, this is the perfect kitchen!
The bedroom is fantastic! I mean, look at the open airiness that is created by the windows and doors! This means that it gets amazing light during the daytime hours!
My desk looks like this! Sometimes worse, but who would care with a view like that? What I find funny about this picture is this is probably the face my kids see when they come into the room when I'm in the midst of trying to work! God bless 'em!
Finally, at the end of my day...hmm, maybe even at the beginning, I could be found here! Alone, either getting my thoughts together to begin my day, or reflecting on all that I got accomplished and still need to get accomplished! Either way, whatever the case may be, I would know, just as I know now, how blessed I am to have the life I have and to be surrounded by the most phenomenal people!
Thanks for stopping by! Have the most incredible weekend possible!
Rhonda
