Penthouse Daydreaming

Let's put a BIG fat emphasis on the word daydreaming in the above title because unless any of us have $22 million in the bank that is all we are going to be doing here. Though let's be honest at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon daydreaming of places to live (or playing on Pinterest) is what's going to get us to the end of the day. So let's get to it!

 

With a wrap around sofa and a 2nd floor library why would anyone need to leave home?

I like the idea of this modest size kitchen (remember we are talking a $22 million house here so I can use modest in reference to this space...).

Floor to ceiling windows are a requirement of mine while daydreaming of a new house. The natural light in this room would definitely make me happy not to mention the chandeliers and high back chairs!

 Last but not least is the terrace, hello fabulous outdoor room! I especially like how it is broken into dining, lounging and sunbathing spaces...ok ok I will move in NOW!

I know you were just thinking if only this place had a swimming pool it would be perfect, well hop on over to the listing and your wish will come true!

Do you have daydreams of living in a penthouse or are you someone who needs a big backyard?

A cozy Jan Shower Library

With the day becoming dark so early courtesy of Daylight Savings Time it makes me want to curl up in a library with a good book. I came across this cocoon like room by Jan Showers and immediately fell in love. The navy walls and same shade panels create such a warmth. Notice the playful zebra rug, patterned pillows and lime green leather chairs? These are all little reminders that this is not a "stuffy" room!! So the next time you wonder if you can paint a room a real dark color use this space as your inspiration. Though be warned you might want to just light a fire and read all the books you have in the house!
