A Dogs Life

I want to be this dog!
...certainly a simpler life.

THE SPLENDOR OF AMERICA’S PAST IS REBORN ON LAKE MICHIGAN

Published October 2009 in Architectural Digest

For the making of their new family residence on Chicago’s North Shore, a couple worked with architect Robert A. M. Stern and his partner Randy Correll. Victoria Hagan decorated the interiors.Landscape architect Douglas Hoerr handled the grounds. The front elevation of the 16,000-square-foot Georgian Revival-style house.

Everything in this home is smooth and subtle.

The greens & blues just work. I don't think this home is over done in the least.

The traditional and the contemporary are blended beautifully.

I love the floor.

I have the same materials and pattern on my bedroom's terrace deck.

The comforter is so comfy.

No?

*Note the covered buttons.

Great pool and a tiered lawn....I love that!

Did you see the movie ' Road to Perdition?'

I have never seen the shores of Lake Michigan, and was blown away by the sand and the water (in the movie scenes).

I never knew about the beautiful sand on the lake's shore.

It is just as if it were along an ocean shore.

This shot (below) made me think of the ending of the movie, and the sandy beach where the father

(Tom Hanks) and the son walk on the sand while heading to their hide-out.

I have watched this 3 times. The cinematography is outstanding.

*Do you think I am too old to get adopted?

Do you like this home?

Could you live there?
