    (katie ridder)

    But this is nicer. Actually...THIS is my fantasy (and I'm sure a lot of other people) come true. A husband/father built this for his family.

     

    little lights across the ceiling!!! AHHH wrapped around branches

     

     I bookmarked this link when it came out and look at it errday 

    FULLSTORY

    Remember reading tolkein and being like, omg i wanna live in one of the abodes described! or when you saw the movie? When I read the hobbit wayyyy back, I fell in love with that world.

    But it's not just the fact that the housing is a perfect mimicry of one of the most fantastical worlds ever, it's the fact that it's a beautiful clutter. For some reason, I love the messy yet organized and warm effect in rooms. It just seems cozy, and kinda make sme feel like i'm going on a tiny adventure in my own place. 

    The candles and lighting are brilliant. Lighting is such an important factor in a house, from the lights themselves to the type and placement of windows. Light brightens= happier! 

    Though I am not putting down Katie Ridder, who has appeared in ELLE and other famous publications for her interior design work, and, let's face it it's brilliant, her stuff just isn't my style. It's too open and organized. In al ot of the scenes there is too much symmetry. I think we are attracted to symmetry but like i said before, something about the beautiful chaos is so alluring. I'd know how to dress according to my environment hehe

    for example, the open space, big stairs, almost Freer Art Gallery museum like structure...I'd wear pumps, wide brimmed hat, a-lined skirt and blazer in tweed. don't mind it, but meh. Comfortable hobbits are my styleee

    Once I have a house/apartment/design my own, imma go all avant garde on its ass.
