Elaborate Masterpiece Hits the Austin Real Estate Market - 12400 Cedar Street, $15 Million

12400 Cedar Street has hit the Austin real estate market - with a bang.  This newly listed 15,394 sq. foot, multi-story masterpiece overlooking Lake Travis is Austin's most expensive listing: $15 million.  Built on 10 acres, the elaborate home sits atop a hill with its highly recognizable rotunda reaching into the sky (in my opinion, don't like the rotunda - would look better without, I'd say!).  This Italian manse features several stories of balconies and verandas overlooking the pool, slide, and waterfall.  Oh, and have I mentioned the views of Lake Travis?  Ok, let's move inside.  The interior is not overly stylish with golden walls; more of a soft luxury.  Key features include 6 bedrooms and 13 (seriously) bathrooms.  A home theater, library, exceptional wine cellar, fitness room, massage room, entertainment room, and indoor basketball are also situated within the residence.  The estate also features a detached pavilion perfect for outdoor gigs and parties.  It's listed for $15 million.  

Here's The Listing

Color Crush- Blue and Green2

Interior Designer- Eileen Kathryn Boyd













 Eileen Kathryn Boyd is an amazing designer and I must say she is
truly inspiring. When I noticed her work I was blown away and I knew that I had
to share these beautiful rooms of great color and balance in all since of
design. The color crush I have on blue and green is unquestionably validated by
the looks of these rooms. Thanks to Eileen

Girl's bathroom

I am currently working on a girl's bathroom that will be completely gutted with an end result that feels fresh, youthful and fun. We sourced the vanity from Restoration Hardware and that was our starting point.  I then found a great Annie Selke fabric with a bold poppy print perfect for a roman shade.  The colours in the fabric were the jumping off point for the glass mosaic tiles.  I am using them as an accent in the middle of one shower wall. The 2x4 white tiles will be laid in a brick pattern everywhere else including the apron of the tub.  I then came across these great capiz shell sunburst mirrors and little sparkly ice cube pendant's that will hang above each mirror to add some glam.  I hope the girl's like it!
