    Enchanting and magical. Its really about a life: the children are actively playing using their imagination, not sequestered with their computer devices. This is the kind of childhood I experienced: laughing and being outdoors. The house is as charming and pretty as the two of you in your flowery skirts and straw hats: the rattan and bamboo; the lovely colors throughout. Its clearly designed with an edited eye and style and taste, but its not overdone. Its really about joy. It's like every day there is summer.

    Her light Colonial style is so balanced here, with bits of whimsy and a naturalist vibe. This would work perfectly in Southern California as well. So much black, white, and grey in design these days, the green is a real treat. I also collect Bordallo Pinheiro majolica dinnerware, but the green leaf pattern. The living room in my 1931 Spanish Revival home is so similar, with the high curved ceiling and arches that I love. Fireplace is at one end, though, with colorful Talavera tiles. So many design aspects from Greece, Italy, Spain, South of France, North Africa, and the Tropics overlap and mix well with traditional furniture for a welcoming, comfortable look. Glad you were able to stop in ladies, and give us another inspiring tour. Cheers!

    beautiful home, but I do prefer when you walk and talk with the owner, slowly going through the home, instead of this "slide show like" video. It offers no sincere insight. it's just a transcript being read by someone while watching some slides (snooze fest). I hope you go back to your interview style videos, to give the attention the homes deserve.
