Award Winning Home Gets Ready for Summer

10,000 square feet full of fun, style, and excitement! This home was built for a family who prized entertaining and wine, and who wanted a home to serve them for the rest of their lives. The main goal of the homeowner was to have a home built and furnished with a European-inspiraion that feels like home. This family surely loves entertaining and wanted a home which would be able to host parties with over one hundred guests. If I lived in a home like this, I probably wouldn’t even have to leave the property. Your gym, spa, entertainment room, pool, chef kitchen, everything is here at your fingertips! What else do you need?

I’m Dreaming! Tour the Perfect American Residence

Here is a little residential eye candy to start off the week – a stunning Lake Bluff home that kind of reminds me of the homes we saw on Desperate Housewives! It’s just perfect from the lawn to the trees, windows, and shingles. It is a little girly but I have to admit the lifestyle at this home does come off a little surreal. The landscaping was done very well and the choice of trees for the property was dead-on. The large trees in the foreground are Aristocrat pears that are fairly quick growers and provided lots of shade and greenery throughout the year. The home was painted in plain gray and white but what makes it stand out is the pretty pink flowers framing the balcony and a little around the patio. Who knew a few flowers could bring in so much color?

How to Decorate in French Provence Style

Provence continues to be one of the best hot spots for vacationers, making it a holiday no brainer. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery, but you can also get some peace of mind while engaging yourself into the easy going French lifestyle.

One of the best ways the French relax at home is through their decorating. Easy on the eyes, casual, and practical French style is one look we ought to look more into. To get the look at home try using rustic wooden pieces for your kitchen table and chairs to get a look that’s down-to-earth and calming. Terra cotta tiles and earthly hues like white, yellow, beige, blue, and red are some of the French’s favorites.
