House envy

I recently saw that author Emily Giffin (of Something Borrowed fame) is selling her Atlanta home. If I had $2.2 million and was moving to Atlanta, I would buy it. It’s pretty much my dream house.

Prepare to drool:

Exterior. Hi, pretty house.

Living room: chic, yet cozy. And not too formal.

Kitchen. Perfection. What kind of wood is that table? I likey.

Family room. Love the doors heading to the porch. Bringing the outdoors in.

Another view of the family room. I am in love with the ceiling and the arcitechtural details of the room. All those arches.

Master bedroom, filled with light from that huge window.

Ava would adore this room. I particularly like the chandelier.

Emily apparently has twin boys, and this is their room. I can’t ever get enough stripes, and I really like the single initial pillows.

The hardscape yard. Probably the one drawback, at least from a family perspective. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s gorgeous. Oh, and how about that sweet little guest house?

Another view. Isn’t the house a cool shape?

So, I am sufficiently green with envy, and you probably are, too. I know I just feel good knowing that by purchasing some of Emily’s novels, I have contributed to the loveliness that is this home.

Hmph.
