my happy place...

i am wordy, actually, when it comes to my dear blog it's the photos...i am all about the photos.  i cannot scale back; editing out photos is not my strength.  i have actually been trying to edit a bit more, watching not to post every photo i come upon that coincides with a post that inspires me.  well, friends, today all of my editing skills have gone out the window.  i did try, but this guest home is a weakness.  i glimpsed the magnificent a while back on everybody's favorite remodelista.  i cannot get it out of my head, i go back again and again which is why i had to share today...

 

designer alexandra angle has created a guest space i would never want to leave (it would be an ugly scene; forcing me to leave as i hold on with all my might to anything i could grab on to).  of course, the scandinavian style has my heart beating fast, but the eclectic quirkiness and laid back california attitude has me all weak in the knees.  i so wish i could perform some serious cut and pasting from this home to my own.

that trellised area is impeccable! These are getting added to my pinterest, for SURE!

Oh my heaven!!! I would become a permanent guest in that house. They would have to physically remove me. SOOOOO wonderful!!!!
And, I'm bad about editing photos also. I'm all about the photos always!
Thanks for sharing.

I can't even wrap my head around that fact that it is one house! I love it so very much! Every single detail has me weak in the knees! Thanks for the non-editing! xo Samantha

If that's the guest house, I would love to see what the main house looks like...
