Laguna Charm House Tour

On Sunday, my friend Cynthia and I, went on the Laguna Charm House Tour.  It is a tour of 5 private homes of different styles and size.  To see pictures of the event please click here:  Laguna Charm House Tour (this is my friend Cynthia's blog, since she already posted, I thought I would be lazy and send you her direction!).  We saw a Mediterranean revival home that has now been turned into a school-Interesting.  We then saw a home that was a small, old theatre that was to die for!!!  This was the home of Cindy Holloway (interior designer) and it was my hands down favorite.  The thing that I saw in this home that I have never seen before was her use of white wash on walls of brilliant color.  She would have a wood wall painted turquoise and then white washed - Beautiful!  (Unfortunately, we couldn't take pictures of the inside of the houses.)  The next house was a very modern constructed home with cement, corrugated tin roof and slate siding.  The built-in interior was very modern but the furnishings were spanish rustic.  Very interesting.  It gave the modern home a more homey feel.  We then saw a eco friendly home and a little bungalow that felt like a tree house.  Cynthia has pictures of all these houses.  Please visit her blog for pictures and narration.  http://cyntillatingandjoyful.blogspot.com/2009/05/charm-house-tour-2009.html

Oh, and by the way, when I was shopping in little downtown Laguna, I came across many items that were also available at Home Goods.  I saw about 4 things that I recently purchased at Home Goods that were double and triple the HG price!!!  My friend, Cynthia, suggested that maybe they purchased the items from HG and now had them for sale in their boutiques!
