And we've jumped straight into summer

It went from being chilly, windy, rainy and dreary to scorching hot in the matter of hours, it seems like.  We've completely skipped over any semblance of spring time weather straight into summer.  A hot, searing, sticky summer.  So much for the great outdoors between the hours of 10 am and 5 pm.  Luckily, we're getting some rain here (which Texas desperately needs) and on a quick jog around the neighborhood last night, I can tell by smell that folks have already started breaking in their grills and practicing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

The featured home this week has lovely outdoor and indoor spaces.  It's modern and eclectic and there are enough punchy bits of colours scattered throughout the home to keep it interesting and homey.  Do you like the contrasting fireplaces - the formal marble in the living room and the brick pass-through in the family room?  Plus who wouldn't like a backyard like that for throwing a casual summer soiree.  You supply the bug spray and beer and I'll bring the popsicles and ice cream.

  2. Oh my....that backyard does scream barbecues and parties. My fave is the kitchen though...sigh... Another great pick, Rooth:)

  3. I love the bust of Mozart/Bethoven/either or in the dining room. The whole place is just decorated so wonderfully, lots of high-low combinations. Swoon!

  4. The inside is okay (very nice, of course), but the outside is just darling!! My favorite part of it all is that patch of pink blooms to accent the front.

  11. That is an interesting house--I've always liked two-sided fireplaces. But it weirds me out that the downstairs bedroom (behind the living room couch, at the foot of the stairs) appears to lock from the outside.

  12. Should we discuss the size of this "cottage"? Huge! It's really cute though, especially the back yard.

    The weather sounds terrible. It was in the low 80s here today and humid, I only went out because I had to. I can't imagine it getting worse.

  15. Send a little warm weather over this way, if you would be so kind. That house is lovely!

  16. Gasp! I love this home . . . love, I tell you! (though Ricademus does make a good point--what the?!)

  17. Well, as usual, I have some things to say. If course I love it. I love the vaulted ceiling in the living room (although, how many living rooms), and I love the fireplaces and the kitchen (and I'm with Christine on the plant). I love the back yard, but my issue is with those cheap plastic Adirondack chairs? What the monkey?

    We're a front yard neighborhood and lots of people have those in their front yards here (so that if drunken frat boys from the university down the street are inclined to steal them you're not out too much!), but in the backyard of a house that nice? Please.
