And that green fabric is fantastic!

Like me, the wife's favorite color is turquoise, so the color was used liberally throughout the home. We should all be so lucky!

My dream is to have a space like that to sit and apply my makeup or curl my hair. Look at all those drawers! And I love the little window seat. Perfect to have a nice conversation while getting ready!
