Dream House: Part IV - Master Suite
A private patio just off that with a hammock stuffed with a feather bed, monogrammed pillows and a throw for afternoon reading.
A bed alcove created by curtain panels with a king size bed. The linens are all grey egyptian cotton with touches touches of a peacock blue velvet throw. A chandelier over the bed with chocolate brown crystals.
An open closet area with metal racks for shoes and hanging items. A dresser for folded items and chez for easily slipping shoes and tockings on and off. A luggage rack with vintage luggage to hold my collection of scarfs. A dress form used as a valet and a dressing table near the window to apply makeup and hold jewelry.

An archway leads you to the spa. French doors open to the private patio and lead back to the library area. A copper tub sits on the room near the dual fireplace with a surround of linen curtains.
An open shower area with a drain on the floor and plenty of natural light to bathe by with a small half wall for the toilet.
What does your dream house look like?

Dream House: Part III - Media Room & Patio
Off the great room are large metal barn doors that lead to the media room. They can be closed for movie viewing or fully opened to be included in the larger great room space. Panels of burlap are a backdrop for a rotating group of favorite movie posters.
The media room has shelving around the top for our collections. This and the larger pieces in the great room are the only collections we have.

Dream House: Part II - Great Room

The great room propper is seperated in to intimate spaces of chairs, sofas and tables by house plants, screens, curtain panels and large objects of art.
Yes that really is a peacock perched in this room. I think that would be awfully fun as long as the species were not endangered and it was not killed solely for this purpose.
The above photo are nesting tables made from thrift store frames, table legs and personalized artwork inside. I'm going to try this idea in my current home.
Next post will be a couple rooms off the great room.
