California house hunting is in full swing. Our current home goes on the market in 2 weeks and my sleepless nights are spent scouring the East Bay's MLS listings. Recently, at the wee hours of the morning, I found a dream house. Although this house has everything we're looking for in a home: mid-century design, open floor plan, great light and awesome outdoor areas, it comes with a price tag we may not be able to swing. This one may just have to stay in my dreams:
Since last Friday's announcement of our upcoming move to California, I've been experiencing relief. Knowing that our friends and family are now aware of the big changes ahead for us, I feel like I can begin 'California dreaming' (aka decorating). I so love our current home but I'm excited about creating another look and feel for our new abode. Not yet having bought a house on the west coast keeps the concepts very broad, but I would love for it to be a mix of midcentury glamour and ethnic touches. Call it bohemian chic. Layered rugs, comfortable and eclectic furniture, gold accents and one of these for sure.
The chairs I recently spied at Reside [see below] would fit the look perfectly. I'm seriously considering buying them for the house we don't own yet. What do you think?
I received so many wonderful comments about our move. Thank you all for your well wishes and sharing in our excitement of it!
