Had the weirdest dream the other night…so weird that I posted about it on COCOCOZY Twitter.
I dreamed that uber interior designers Mary McDonald, Nate Berkus, and Nathan Turner were called in to fix my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills – my small under 750 square foot house. Â In the dream, my house was under construction and kept falling off the hillside. Â After fighting with the contractor, I gave up and just turned the project over to the aforementioned design dream team.
When I came back to the house while my dream design team had worked on it for just a few days it seemed bigger. Â It was also in a very remote hillside area (not at all like where I live in real life or where I had left it in the dream) and there seemed to be an ocean view somehow.
In the dream, my guy TE and I toured the house that was still a work in progress and were in awe. Each designer took on a space made it their own. By the way, in my dream, Â Nate Berkus and Nathan Turner were one person for some reason…the person looked like a hybrid of the two of them and I kept calling him both or either name. Â Somehow best of friend AM flew in from NYC to tour the dream house too.
The guys’ rooms were modern with a very fresh vibe…when I walked in to say hi Nate/Nathan was painting some glass for the windows (don’t know why)…and he looked up and said “Hi, I’m still working on this.” Â Mary was nowhere to be seen during the tour but she created a huge wide main hall with wood floors stained in different colors to create a stripe effect. Â She also did a kitchen with red counters. Â Her rooms were elegantly traditional with a modern twist.
Anyhooo…in the end of the dream…it turns out that the designers had transformed my small cottage into a 6100 square foot hillside home that also was a beach house! Â A small Hollywood Hills cottage transformed into a hillside/beach front estate! Unreal. Â Really. Â Tah dah! Â The magic of dreams!
Well one thing, I noticed my dream team of designers forgot (or I didn’t see) was a cute breakfast nook. Â I must have one of those me thinks. Â I love the idea of having a place to cozy up right near the kitchen with good light for dining, reading, chatting, laptop computing etc. Â Windows, built in banquette seating, a square or round table will do, and some nice lighting. Must have a breakfast nook! Â Yooohoooo….
No complaints on my dream home from this past dream- loved it – but next dream, I’ll need a nook please. đ
If you had a dream team of designers…what must have would you want them to include in a home.
Happy Wednesday!

I love a breakfast nook too. Our new house has a bow window in the eating area of the kitchen. I’m going to put a window seat under the window then have chairs on the other side of table. It’s not technically a nook but close enough! Love your dream too. Hilarious!
Oh I am with you on the breakfast nook. Perfect place to read over coffee or hang out with friends. I’d take MaryM and Nate too!
