Although one may argue that it is a sign of aging where one's interest whilst browsing through the internet switches from what was previously youtube, facebook and other silly things to blogs and websites dedicated to gorgeous homes, furnitures, new designs and ridiculously expensive yet beautiful clothes and jewelry ... I would like to think that it is just a preparation step and a motivation stage for what is to come. Yes, It's always nice to wish for big silly dreams because even that the ability to dream for a perfectly designed home for just its aesthetic sake seems to have an expiry date.
As much as I love red-brick houses, and old rustic cottages... I think I have a terrible weak spot for these modern homes with huge glass panes.. It looks so meticulously clean and open that its simplicity does not leave room for any other color, decoration or extension. It is in these simple environment that small details such as a red cushion, a beautiful leather chair really shines through....
Here's this week's favorite house:
Villa F by DER Architects (DER Architect)
Villa F, designed by DÉR Architects, is located in a lush, green neighborhood of Fótliget, a section of Budapest, Hungary. (Design Milk)
Although Design Milk raves about its indoor swimming pool, my favorite part of the house was the kitchen (above) and this beautiful metal patterned divider by the staircase! I mean look how he intricate and ornate pattern works perfectly with the plain, simple furnitures in the background....
Although the pool is very...I mean VERY nice indeed... :)
The pattern seems to repeat in small parts of the houses, such as this glass window. It's funny how these little yet significant details that brings the overall impact of the house together... and how it leaves the strongest impression.
Now indulging a little in decorating this beautiful home of mine..... (without the slightest consideration into the budget or the availability of these..)
This Leather Armchair
found in Jay Mcinerney and Anne Hears's Sunny Greenwich Apartment (Architecture Daily)
Sadly the website doesn't list any info about the armchair... just on the vases and the paintings on the wall... Although I am not the biggest fan of the paintings, I do love the vase, rug and the coffeetable!

I don’t think there's anything wrong with reading home and lifestyle-related blogs. They certainly give you a lot of inspiration of what you might want in your dream house. Just like this one; it’s truly a dream come true! And I think that pool is quite nice. It really added to the appeal of the house more. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
