Dreaming...House Goals and Ideas

Nice rectangular pool with diving board...the room at the end would be way down the road.

Screened porch off the back to lead to the concrete/bricked ares beside pool.

I would love to move my laundry out of the kitchen and to the garage. Then I could turn my laundry nook into a pantry.  See next photo.

This would make my life so much easier on so many levels. 

Add stacked stone to my fireplace.  I don't have a raised hearth, but this look is what I want. 

I need plantation shutters or blinds throughout my house....Can I hear an Amen!

We need an outside storage building for overflow.  The Amish make some really good ones in our area.  

I want to reorient my kitchen to face the den and change to white kitchen cabinets with granite counter tops.  Oh I would have hardwood floors instead.  See next example.

Of Course Pottery Barn furniture to finish it all off!

I don't even know where to begin!  We have got to start making some progress in this house or I am going to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living Room Elements

As you know my dog passed away about a month ago.  Before he died unfortunately he was very, very sick near the end and as a result my living room carpet has to be replaced.  I have been wanting to redo this room for a while now anyway so I decided to blog about some of the elements that I want in the room.  I finally have a plan and a budget so if I can just find time and MONEY I can get started.

First I am going to paint the room Sherwin Williams Kilim Beige and place a stainmaster carpet similar to a berber that will not show traffic and look neat.

This is NOT my room...this is only an example of the paint color.

Then I need a sofa similar to this one.

With chair and ottoman to match and maybe another chair.

I want soft blue accents with perhaps paisley on curtains and maybe a stripe for accent pillows.

I already have this print in the room and the colors will work nicely together.

Add a few other accessories and the room would be done...again when I get some money dang it.

For good measure I guess I could add one of these to make the boys happy...

Complete with LARGE TV of course....and doors that close for my happiness.
