Class act

"Why are you wearing a tux?  It's after six, what am I, a farmer?"

This is my female-Jack Donaghy perfect home.  The house that I live in when I dine daily in glittering ballroom gowns and wake up every morning to a flawless, milky complexion.  I'm able to arrange fresh cut flowers for every surface and admire the way light twinkles off of the crystal chandeliers that dangle in every single room (including the nursery and fanciest den I've ever seen).  Not a drop of juice / red wine would be spilled on the creamy carpet and upholstery.  The rugs and lawn would be vacuumed and trimmed in perfect diagonal stripes.

I absolutely wouldn't be the woman who has spent this weekend collecting balled up used tissues, cooking impromptu meals at 9 pm and bumming around in elastic waistband pants whilst watching six hours of playoff football on Sunday.  I wouldn't be using my dining room table to collect a month's accumulation of mail and three silently glowing laptops.  Nope, not that woman.

  2. Mixed feelings, because the world would miss "that woman". :)

    That's one of my favorite Jack lines.

  3. Something about the way they consistently only place half their furniture on their rugs really bothers me... LIke, half a sofa, half a chair, one quarter of a bed... No, I can't deal with it, buy a bigger rug!!

  4. Can I please have the house and re-do the entire interior? It just feels a little too perfect, too designed, too hotel-y for my liking. Besides, I think you're probably more fun the way you are right now ;-) Have a lovely week xo

  8. That bathroom and kitchen are just about the most perfect I think I've seen. I love all the feminine touches more than I expected to; the wallpaper in the dining room and all those fuzzy rugs.

  9. wow, this house has so many different styles in it if i hadn't seen it i would say it would be impossible for it to work. but somehow this modern/elegant/traditional/scandinavian house totally works and i like it. and that outdoor space is about as perfect as it can be.

  16. You should totally buy that one! I really want a bathroom like that. If you added a separate entrance, and Dallas was in New England, I would want to rent the bathroom from you.

  17. "Here comes the big one. Ride it Donaghy, ride it straight to hell!"

    I also like the one about "The Smiling Irish Bastard Hall of Fame" So many great ones.

  18. How do you always manage to find my dream home? That pool? So gorgeous. Unfortunately I am that girl who eats cereal for dinner and I am really messy. So they would probably not let me live here. Whoever "they" is.

  19. Ooh how horrible is it that I had to google Jack Donaghy. It's on the list, I swear!

    I looove all of the white and natural wood. Such a gorgeous combo. I also like that funky floral wallpaper haha.

  20. Woah! What a spacious house. I would love to stay there for a week and spend one day in each room try to soak up the loveliness of it. I like the wallpaper in the kitchen. :P
