On the Eve . . .

Of something promising.
I hope you're ringing in the New Year with dear friends and lots of cheer! 

To warm us up for 2011, I thought I would share some amazing pictures from a very extraordinary architectural firm on the west coast - Bosworth Hoedemaker.  If this doesn't make you want a lake house or a friend with a lake house, nothing will.   

The water in this shot doesn't even look real to me.  It looks like a swimming pool.

The tin roof . . .  those french doors.

Talk about a fabulous place to hang out. 

Of course you must have a telescope for boat watching and star gazing.

All those small details do add up. 

It's hard to believe this is new construction.  The entire space looks like it has so much age and character.

Loving the transom windows over all the doors - yum. 

Not to mention the six paneled doors and wide plank floors.

Too much - deep breaths. 

Whole new meaning to reading nook.

Alas, waking up to that view. 

So . . . 2011 - Bring it on!  See you next year!  OK, I do love saying that on New Year's Eve. M.
