My Dream House! Truly!

Wow. I thought my house was crazy. There are times I'm bordering on embarrassment when I give tours and those privileged enough to have been allowed access have really odd looks on their faces. Yes, I admit I've done some unconventional things on the walls and some of the furniture is unusual, but I now realize it's all relative!

Today I found the coolest house on the planet! It's an old, remodeled farmhouse in High Falls, NY, owned and designed by Kat O'Sullivan (her art company is called KATWISE) with her partner Mason Brown. She is my new idol! I'm stealing photos off the article because it's so outstandingly beautiful a mere link is not good enough:

FROM THIS:

How much do you think she paid for this nasty piece of work?



TO THIS:



 

 

I LOVE THE DOOR BELOW - IT'S A TYPICAL SQUARE DOOR, BUT IT'S BEEN PAINTED LIKE AN OLD MEDIEVAL DOOR WITH A ROUND TOP.

 



IT'S LIKE A LITTLE FAIRYTALE HOUSE OUT IN THE WOODS.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LANDSCAPE ROCKS. I'M SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T PAINT THEM!

 



 

LOVE THE MATCHING BUS:

I always think the fact my van matches the exterior of my house is cool, but I am now shamed by comparison.

 

BELOW IS A PHOTO WITH MASON BROWN WHO I THINK IS HER PARTNER OF SORTS, BUT NOT SURE. HE IS JUST AS COLORFUL AS THIS HOUSE. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!

 

 

 

AND THEN THERE IS THE INTERIOR:

 

WOW! SOMEONE WHO ALSO PAINTS FURNITURE!

I LOVE THE TABLES! LOOK AT THE FEET.

 

I'M GUESSING MOST OF THE DECOR IS FOUND-OBJECTS THEY USED FOR BUILT-IN SHELVES, ADDITIONS, ETC. I TRULY LOVE IT. LOTS OF COMPLEMENTARY COLORS WHICH ARE EXCITING TO THE BRAIN.

 

THIS IS THE WEIRDEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE. IT'S SO...DULL! LOVE THE WINDOWS. THAT DOOR LOOKS LIKE IT'S HAND-MADE FROM BOARDS OR MAYBE JUST OLD-STYLE CONSTRUCTION. LOVE IT ALL!

MY HEART WON'T STOP POUNDING! I AM SO INSPIRED...

 

COLOR IS JOY! I NEED MORE IN MY LIFE!

 

However, I can't do that kind of painting with this house or it would never sell. That is always on my mind when I feel the urge to do something crazy and that controls me. I'll have to wait until I build my next house. It will be my last house so I can get crazy and not care if it has to sell.
