I have always loved visiting houses since I was little. My friend’s house, my parents’ friend’s house, model homes, any house that I can see. I love seeing layouts and now I also enjoy seeing how people decorate as well. It’s fascinating to me to see what people chose to decorate their house with. I learn from seeing different styles people from different cultures chose to decorate their house with. I love how this friend of mine used fabric in the house to decorate. The balance of white wall and wall decoration is impeccable. In terms of the architecture design, I love how rooms with big windows are surrounding the court-yard. It is beautiful to have a court-yard in the center of the house surrounded by glasses which allows much natural light to enter the house like this house. This is my dream house.
小さ頃からよその家に行っては、家の中を見るのが大好きでした。お友達の家だったり、両親の友人の家、売りに出ているモデルハウスなど、とにかく家ならなんでも興味がありました。家の構造や図面も見るのが好きで、大人になってからは、どのように家の中が飾られているかを見るのもとても好きになりました。家の飾りに人が選んだものを見るのは、興味深いです。特に他に他の文化から来た方は飾り方は違うので、学ぶことも多いです。この家に住んでいる友人の布の使い方がとても素敵だと思いました。また白い壁と飾りのバランスは申し分無い気がします。建築デザインとしては、大きな窓が中庭を囲んでいるのが魅力です。中庭が家の中心にあり、窓ガラスで囲まれているので、家の中に自然光が沢山入るようにデザインされているのがとても素敵です。憧れてしまう家ですね。
I love homes where the natural light floods in 🙂
Great post, your lucky to have a friend with such good taste! It’s funny b/c I relate to your story of loving to visit other homes, I’ve been the same way from the time I was little. Exploring the way others design and decorate their homes is a joy for me, too. Rummaging through my grandmother’s pink bathroom, comparing little girl bedrooms…. and drving with my mom through historic neighborhoods and wishing to see what’s inside~
Thanks for finding my blog 🙂
Such a lovely home your friend has – lots of light, tastefully decorated and welcoming.
You’re friend’s home is gorgeous!! And decorating with fabric is so unique and interesting. I love courtyards too!! So much natural light and open space in the privacy of your own home! If I had one I would totally love to read and soak up some vitamin E! =) (with SPF of course hehe)
this is the most amazing place. thanks for sharing these inspiring photos-
i could move right in there if i had the permission to do so 😉
