So it slipped my mind
That this past weekend was the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics. And maybe it's because the cold weather will not go away but I can't really get as into them as I typically do. We had snow on Thursday of last week and are expecting ice and snow again on Monday night and Tuesday morning. No snow days. Just a lot of really crazy people driving around on the roads. But I was able to catch some of the slopestyle highlights and also spend some time celebrating with my parents celebrating my dad's birthday. We killed a bottle of prosecco and half a chocolate cake between the three of us on Saturday night and that about did us all in.
Can we move on to how much I love this house? The funky big window in the formal living room makes it look almost chapel-like. And the tile, tile everywhere, in the kitchen and the bathrooms. I know it's probably a pain to scrub the grout on that (always the practical one, I am) but imagine how brilliant it looks when it's clean and gleaming white. Also, notice all the cool structural features - arched doorways, beamed ceilings, built-in window seats - scattered throughout the home? I'm all about that. Oh and the closet. Of course the closet.

I missed it too. I had no idea it was about to start and only realized it when things started popping up on fb and twitter. sometimes I can be so out of touch with reality...
ReplyDeletethe house is beautiful. love love love the pool :)
One must not forget that closet....
ReplyDeleteAnd the Olympics is about the only time I can watch sports:D Yay for hockey!
The large first floor room at the back of the house is my favorite. As for the Olympics, it's the only time we get to see the luge and bobsledding...great sports.
ReplyDelete(Never tried prosecco)
Ha! Every time I see tiled floors I think how hard it must be to keep clean. :) Sad, but true . . .
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's radiant heat under all that tile? I love this house too. I love all the beamed ceilings and that bathroom! Really. I can get all over that business. Good one, missy, Now, get yourself glued to the TV. I'll have a dessert just for the Olympics tomorrow. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat. Kitchen. I just, wow. I caught part of It's Complicated on tv this weekend and was reminded how glorious that kitchen was in the set. For someone who doesn't cook I sure do like my kitchens big and pretty. xo
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love that bedroom! And the closet of course! :) Yay for lots of chocolate cake! :)
ReplyDeleteThis house is lovelyyyyy yes totally agree c:
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Winter Games as well and I'm
proud that my country (The NL) has conquered
some golden medals :P Xx
being snowed in gave me lots of time for the olympics - i don't think i have missed much of them actually.
ReplyDeleteand, yes, that kitchen - oooo, so nice. and i have to say i am not one for tile floors, it's definitely not common in portland to have them, but these tile floors, i like. a lot.
Who wouldn´t love a closet like that - oh my..! :-)

I feel the same about the winter olympics this year. I'm just not as into them as I was for the last olympics. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous house! That funky big window is all sorts of awesome.
I've been rummaging through all of your posts that I've missed. How much do you reckon a house like this costs (in the US?)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, this house isn't totally my style, but I'd take that closet ANY DAY.
ReplyDeleteYou always find the coolest houses!
