This Million-Dollar Home Is All About the Outdoor Space

Zillow
When looking at luxury real estate, you can't help but notice that the features can get a bit creative. Indoor/outdoor pools. A roof that doubles as a sledding ramp. A tub with speakers that broadcast the news through the bathwater. Honestly, you can add all the fancy features you want to a home, but nothing beats a good old-fashioned patio and garden.

The exposed timber accents! Plus, there are period-perfect wood details (plus some intriguing wallpaper) throughout the interior.

Here's a peek around the stunning grounds:

The artificial light that's emitted from these devices results in less melatonin production in the brain (the chemical that helps you fall asleep and regulates your sleep cycle), meaning you'll have a harder time dozing off. 2. Your Heavy (or Electric) Blankets Even though a warm and cozy setup might sound like something that would help you sleep better, higher body temperatures disrupt sleep — so you're better off sticking with a lightweight sheet or bedspread. 3. Your Wall Color If your bedroom walls are brown, purple, grey, gold, or red, they might be negatively affecting your slee
