I Dream of Napa

While I envision this blog as a space to get "real" about interior design, I also think it's important to sometimes get lost in fantasy!  Since I was an 8th grader with my nose permanently parked in a Jane Austen novel, I have imagined living out my own "modern day Pride and Prejudice" country estate fantasy in the Napa Valley. 

I envision hills covered in vines, and a winding driveway leading to a house that's beautiful but understated - think materials like stone, Spanish stucco, and reclaimed wood beams...mixed with French antiques and white linen couches you can just sink into.

My fantasy came to life when I finally picked up this issue of Architectural Digest.  Don and Rela Gleason of furnishings company Summer Hill have created the most lovely space in the heart of Napa Valley. Here's a peek:

  

A man and his dog... this feels like it's from another era.

And just one more:

Heaven on Earth. 

Do you have a fantasy "maybe some day house" you dream about, too?  I'd love to hear about it!
