Wednesday - time for Home Decor Thoughts, and I'll admit it upfront, when I saw this video, I experienced an intense flash of house envy. 

Here's the deal: I have a thing for houses - not just any old houses - but rich, sun filled, bring the outdoors in type houses.

They can be large or small - contemporary, traditional, Mediterranean, whatever - but they have to have certain characteristics: 1) intriguing, thoughtful architecture, 2) be complimentary to  the native surroundings, 3) be open with great flow (in other words - no tiny, chopped up rooms,) and 4) have beautiful detailing.

Now's the time I should also admit something else: I'm not in love with my own house.  Even after a way too expensive addition, it's not me, and never will be.  Sigh...

But this video highlights a gorgeous custom home in the hills of Santa Monica.  It has stunning architecture - stunning interiors.  And my desire for bringing the outdoors in - oh yeah.  Wait 'till you see the glass sliders! 

So, can houses be sexy?   Tell me what you think about this one.
