2 very handsome men and a house.

and those 2 handsome men...

both of whom i have secret crushes on...

are nate berkus and jeremiah brent.

you know nate berkus.

but did you watch rachel zoe last season?

because then you'd also know jeremiah brent.

(i did and i thought she was nuts for letting him go.)

but they are now together,

making house dreams come true. together.

in the hollywood hills.

cue the envy!!

i wish i had the restraint to dress my home in a variation of three colors, plus the original mint kitchen. it's so beautiful.

i follow them both on instagram, and they truly look happy together.

and that makes me happy for them.

all this found in the latest harper's bazaar.

one of my dreams.

i have lots of dream houses.

lots and lots of dream ideas floating around in my brain.

but when i saw this house in greenwich, done by jeffrey bilhuber...

i thought to myself, "self, that is one of your dream homes."

hands down.

i have said this before but when it comes to my own house and making my own decisions, i get sceeered. i know what i would want to do but then i chicken out and do a little bit less. then i see spaces like these and i think, why the hell not? i shouldn't care an ounce about what others think because they don't live there, we do. and if we are happy, then our home has fulfilled its duty.

but seriously. i want to raise my kids in an environment as

colorful and creative as this.

i'll stop talking and get you on to looking.

but it's good.

(and you'd never gather it was that spunky from the outside)

(this kitchen is my favorite!)

all very traditional shapes.

but done in a not so traditional colorway.

bright blues and purple.

orange and yellow.

pink. red.

toned down in toile and stripes and florals, with different shades of brown.

i could go on and on.

it's pretty great.

and as for my sparkly gift guide i had ready for you this morning...

my computer and i aren't on the best terms as of late, because it ate it.

it's nowhere to be found.

not in the folder where i left it last night.

not in the 'recycling bin'.

done-zo.

so i'll re-gather those things and hopefully have it for you tomorrow.

stupid thing.

happy thursday.

vogue living

another house tour!!

2 things i love:

1-- vogue pieces on people's homes... vogue photography and crazy awesome interiors. win.

2-- whole house articles. i love me a room here, room there. but the whole thing really shows you how someone lives and i like it.

anyway.

here's one i just saw and salute, for her use of color and eclectic art. fantastic.

kyle dewoody.

co-owner and creative director of grey area.

an online shop turned pop-up shop out in the hamptons.

i'll take that brass greyhound and the over-dyed hot pink rug, thank you.

do you like seeing where people live as much as i do?

or am i weird?

i'm actually getting kind of frustrated with elle decor lately because they only show 2-4 photos from someones home. really? that's not enough. i don't think they've been enough as a whole lately, so they're on my s-list :)

love.

let's take a trip.

to sao paulo, brazil.

and visit the colorful, uber quirky, awesomely-south-american, gorgeous home of cris and marcelo rosenbaum.

they share my more-is-more theory.

and i think it's pretty awesome.

via the selby.

and you can see more here.

love.

haute hamptons.

did you see tory burch's southampton home in vogue?

i like her more after reading the article. you can here if you missed it.

there are more photos to love, too.

these grapefruit-pink taffeta curtains are just what i was looking for for my den. should i call and ask her where she got them?

with her three sons.

adorable family photo.

i want one

of these sprawling estates.

with her mix of old and new with a lil bit of color, all done with grace. perfect.

especially the custom tiled dining room.

and that white valentino dress she's wearing ;)

happy friday!!
