house beautiful goodness

I just couldn't pass up the chance to share some more lovely photos from this month's issue of House Beautiful.  This home is designed by LA designer, Peter Dunham.  My favorite part of this article was how he described this house if it was a person, "Not some Faux Derek drop-dead sexy girl, or a frumpy old bag. It would be a classically beautiful 45-year-old Virginia woman who's in great shape, has a beautiful smile, and is easygoing and welcoming." Isn't that what we all want in a house?

The nook is so charming; it looks like the perfect place to curl up and read a book, maybe take a little nap...aahhh....

I loved this month's issue of House Beautiful for so many reasons. First, all the blogger love, there was a glimpse in the closet of Nicole from So Haute and a great party tip from Jessica from The Love List. So cool!  I really loved the features in this issue with the home in Cashiers, NC to the NYC apartment by Phoebe Howard and this gorgeous home in Central California.

It has such an easy elegance to it and the view is AMAZING! The interior designer, Suzanne Tucker, did a phenomenal job of bringing the outdoors in.  The home boasts a dining pavilion, which is connected to the house by an arbor covered in wisteria. Such a unique and beautiful idea.  The outside is just a beautiful as the inside with a stone fireplace that will keep you cool on those California nights.
