Real Estate Lust: Can I Borrow $18 Mill?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Riding back from New York on the train last night we passed through my old stomping grounds of New London and Mystic, CT and as I looked out at the waterfront I was reminded of how much I love living by the ocean.  It’s just so calming and beautiful. Then this morning I find out that Katharine Hepburn’s amazing waterfront home in Old Saybrook (right near that area I used to live in) is for sale. Perfect! I need a new home, I love the water, Katharine Hepburn!? Done! Now, who wants to loan me $18 million??

Luxury is PRIVACY. And this place has it in spades.

The beams, windows and white scheme are awesome. Decor wise, I’d go bananas.

Can you even imagine waking up to that view???

LOVE the exposed brick.

I can so imagine sipping some wine on this deck!

I think my Dad would sell all his children for this view right here.

And who wouldn’t want this pedigree associated with their home?

Love at First Sight…

The second I saw this adorable Maryland cottage in Southern Living I fell in love. I am determined to live in a cottage someday, hopefully just like this one!! As I stress over our current living situation (very complicated, but if anyone has a condo for sale or rent in the south end, hit a sister up) I am so drawn the the peace and coziness of a home like this.

Adore this pink scheme in the living room and the clever use of wallpaper in the built in glass doors to hide clutter.

More little touches to conceal the clutter children bring (I’d have added some contrast trim though…just sayin’)

Dramatic wall color= favesies.

IKEA + marble= a high/low mix that makes the final result look all high end!

Another example- IKEA table, vintage chairs found for a steal and reupholstered in high end outdoor fabric!

Off yo NYC for an exciting client meeting! Catch ya on the flip flop.

Loft Lust

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

As I scour the internet for real estate listings for a new home I came across this amazeballs loft that I would love to live in. It’s slightly out of our price range  and the we’d have to add a second bedroom at some point AND in a neighborhood I’m still not sure of…but just LOOK at the amazing woodwork!!! And a claw foot tub AND walk in marble shower? And that slate island??? Christ almighty! This really is like porn for me.
