My new life

Okay, guys, I've got it all figured out. My new life plan. I will buy this apartment in Stockholm and move to Sweden. (Photo from Apartment Therapy.)

Then I'll get a job in Madrid at the Selgas Cano architecture office. Look! It's in the woods! The commute might be killer, but everyone says European countries are small and close together, so it shouldn't be a problem. And never mind that I'm not an architect; maybe they'll let me make the cafe con leche and clean the windows or something. (Photos from ArchDaily.)

And then, when I'm exhausted from all that work, I'll vacation here at the Hollmann Beletage in Vienna. Be sure to mouse over all the "Tour" pictures on their site; it's fun! (Photos from Hollmann Beletage.)

    What a great life plan ... a little impractible :) but it sounds fabulous. I might have to join you at work though, that office looks amazing. You can make the coffee and i'll clean the windows.

    So, does this mean I can come live with Alex in the newly-minted bachelor digs? We could go and hang out at all the cool spots in Chi-town, catch some ball games, go to Navy Pier (HAR!), and do...you know, "guy stuff".

    Oh, and *definitely* repaint the place. I'm thinking gray, cream and dark blue, but he and I can talk. :]

    That office looks like a giant human habitrail. :) Though I have to say you can't beat the natural light in it! :) I'd love to have a studio like that!

    Typical Swedish architecture and design, almost everyone has white walls and parquet flooring here. Have you seen that we also got an ice hotel in the north of Sweden? It's crazy!
