in my own backyard...

when we think about spectacular design and multi-million dollar homes, utah doesn't really pop up on the radar. no offense....I live here [haha]
but seriously-- you see immaculate mansions along the coast of laguna beach or the upscale penthouse on the upper east side. 

but not today.

today I bring you a crazy spectacular private estate here in >>> holladay, utah!

I discovered the estate on freshome, where they found it listed at a jaw-dropping $13.9 million.
I never knew such a pricey residence was pretty much in my own backyard...


"A lush and private 1.6 acres surround this extraordinary Estate. Beyond the gates lie large waterfalls and ponds surrounded by an artists’ tapestry of flowers and plants.  The magnificence of this timeless home is at every turn."  

this monstrous house has a main level, upstairs + basement. 
four master bedrooms, seven other bedrooms.
three full and seven partial bathrooms.
if you also count living spaces, you have an overwhelming 22 rooms!

the design is very traditional with lots of wood work detail, arched walkways, and wood beans. the overall interior design feel is neutral [tans and browns with little color] with lots of traditional textiles and leather seating. 
overall, the decor it is certainly not my style, but it does it quite well with the home and gives it an almost "royal" atmosphere.

here are the pictures I have from freshome---take a look, what do you think? what do you love/not love about the home, design, decor?



















 



I guess I'd live here.....ha, ahhmazing right?!

nightstand makeover for your weekend

sorry about my absence yesterday...Nix has been teething like crazy the past few days. we had a doctors appt. tuesday and he informed me that he was getting  F O U R  top teeth in right now. he has about half of one of the front ones and just the two little bottom ones so far haha. so needless to say, he has been a whiny, hold-me-all-day, crying baby the past week. I had been losing my patience and feeling like I couldn't do anything 100%-- work or be a mom, so yesterday I took the day off to 100% be a mommy and comfort my baby and yesterday was a good day.

today I wanted to share this awesome and easy ikea nigtstand makeover.
Joy uses the ikea hemnes nightstand that runs at $69.99
[she already had these stands and wanted to update them]
in case you currently don't have nightstands or one that will work-- the tarva nightstand runs at only $39.99 and would work just as well for the makeover.

before they are just eh, okay.


 hemnes on left // tarva on right

and after they are so amazing and different. so mid century and I love them! she stained the pull out drawer and got a new knob from anthropologie that really just completes the look.


check out Joy's tutorial here

and have a fabulous weekend babes!! I am so excited to be attending rail girls SLC tonight & tomorrow! check back monday to see how it went. xoxo
