A friends house tour part one, boys and light savers. (light sabers.)


i love all the legos. love it.
















this is my friend sara's house. it is joe's house too. sara and joe have style. joe is a fine artist-sara is artistic and is a pro at really everything. their house it is one of my most favorite houses ever. we went for a visit on saturday, and we had lunch, and bella played light savers. she didn't really know how to play light savers with boys. so she had her light saver, a cape on, and she used her light saver to vacuum the floor. which was not dirty at all, but why not-isn't that what you do with a light saver?

what i like about their house is that everything is personal, loved, crafted, hand made, painted, a family heirloom, personally acquired over time. nothing was just gone out and bought in one day at a store. and if it was you can't tell. i unloaded their dishwasher, and even their dishes are a thing of beauty. the thing i love about interior design is that it really is about people and how they live. its about quality of life, and living in a place that nourishes your soul. sara and joe's house nourishes your soul, and inspires you-and you leave feeling that way.

it is fascinating to me to grow up with friends, then years later see their homes and see how they live. it will never get old to me. i feel lucky to have such cool and inspiring friends. so stay tuned for tomorrow for more photos!
