Friday Fun House

Every once in a while I come across a really awesome just-downright-fun-looking house that I'd totally love to live in.  This house in London is one of them!

The bright white airy space, those wide plank floors, the oversized gallery shelves, and the fun color accents appeal to my adult self while that backyard rock wall and playhouse call to my inner-child!!

If you look really close, you can see that the chandelier is made of wine glasses!  I presume it was purchased at this UK retailer here.  It looks like a piece of art and serves a rather useful purpose too...especially if you have big wine parties.

Yes folks, that's a tucked-away gold-leaf bar!  These home owners are brilliant and I love how you can tell they don't take themselves too seriously.  The flourescent "boo!" art fixture is simply darling as well.

A peak into the kitchen reveals those to-die-for wide plank floors again, and a cheeky lime green glass backsplash.  Easy clean-up and such fun for the eyes!  And, check out this coffee mug installation...

I LOVE IT!!!  And, I totally agree with it...  I sort of want the family who owns this house as best friends.

There's that playhouse again and a look into the family room.  Not sure how the doors to the backyard work, but I love the plate glass windows and how the doorways seem to be wide open to the outdoors.  There's quite a bit of gray weather in the UK so it's nice to let as much light in as possible.

The bath is clean-lined, serene, and quite perfect at tempering all the fun colors throughout the rest of the home. The big "greige" subway tiles are a nice modern pick.

Yep, I saved my favorite detail for last.  Check out those adorable kid work spaces!!  I'd be fighting over the yellow closet desk space for myself.  Such fun, such brilliance.  Just close them up and voila, it's a tidy hall.

This family rocks!  They simply have to based on the house they've created to call a home.  What do you think of it?  What's your favorite feature??
