Hello Lovely Readers of Alek’s beautiful corner of the world!

I’m Melissa (Simply Mel) from Reverie, and I am a huge fan of FRBLC (and her fabulous Frenchies!). Born and raised as a Southern Belle, but now a happy transplant to the West Coast, I look forward to seeing what Alek, the design genius, creates in her new Georgia abode. Now doubt it will be divine!

So while we await the debut of her peachy digs, I thought I would share one of my dream spaces with you.

You see, I’m married to an artist, and we both crave lots of natural light. High ceilings and open space to dance a tango step or two also makes us giddy, so naturally, this 2700 sq. foot artist’s loft is at the top of our wish list.

He can have his beautiful corner of the space….

(with endless inspiration near and far)….

….and I can have my culinary corner to whip up some delicious dishes!

We like to take sweet little reprieves, and what better place to indulge in a reverie. Heavenly, isn’t it?

image006

During our daily happy hour, our sweet little crumb can serenade us with a Spanish guitar.

And we will live happily ever after while basking in the blissful sunset glow.
