The Lake House

I'm on a Lake House kick!  I love the movie and I love house that remind me of the movie.  So here is another beautiful home featured this month in Artictural Digest's Extrandorinary Homes for Sale.

I just think it would be awesome to live on a lake or near the ocean.  Its one of my dreams, of course when my children are old enough I don't have to worry about them falling in the water and drowning.

I'm not sure if the yacht comes with the house or not, but I love it.

I love the look of the clean white kitchen, as if it would stay that white once you introduced my family but the look is great. same in the bathroom.

Only 17.5 million!  5 Bedrooms 5 Baths.  For more information you can visit the following sites:

The Truth about The Fresh Prince and Me

Ever since I watched my first episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air I have been in love with Will Smith.  I can still sing the entire theme song for the show.



I think he is a really great actor, singer, and writer.  I have continued to follow his career and still enjoy seeing his movies and watching re-runs of The Fresh Prince.  I also think his kids are super cute and who doesn't love his wife Jada.  So now you know the truth about my not so secret Will Smith obsession.  I was super excited when Architectural Digest did a story on his family's private estate in California.  It is an amazing estate, I love tons of different things about it.  So let me show you.  First a picture of the family.

Next the Outside

I love this little sitting area, just off their formal dining room.

The Kitchen

Breakfast Nook

Outside

Will says his favorite place is the gazebo, I want one.

Jada's Meditation Room, how nice would that be.

I love the ceiling in their pool room!

The swinging seat is one of my favorite features in their home theater.

The Master Bedroom

Who wouldn't love Will and Jada's Closet?

I Heart Architecture/ Interior Design and the Glass House

It is no secret that I love architecture and interior design.  I love looking at homes, designing them, and touring them.  So it probably comes as no surprise that one of my favorite magazine's is Architectural Digest.  I have loved since high school, it is amazing.  They have some of the most beautiful homes and designs I have ever seen.

Which brings me to showing you this.

It was featured this week in Architectural Digest, they do a segment once a month called "Extraordinary Homes for Sale".  It reminds of the house in the Lake House movie, except it is not on a lake although it does have beach front property.  I love this home it is beautiful, a little strange, super clean and modern.  Here are some more photos for you to enjoy.

It is actually bigger than it looks it has a guest house that connects to the main house via underground walk way, how awesome is that.  It is a 4 Bedroom 4 Bath house.  And if you like it, it will only set you back just under 1 million dollars.

Now onto reality, I love the house but the reality of actually living in it would drive me crazy.  I would feel like I need to keep everything super spotless all time, so much for lazy days when I let the toddler rule the house.  And can you imagine trying to keep all those windows clean, no thank you.  I also hope the neighbors don't live to close.
