I Just Needed a Reason to Search Pinterest for Stuff I Will Never Have. Now I am Depressed.

I secretly dream of owning a small cottage in the woods.....with some ocean/lakefront property.
Nothing big and fancy.
Just home-y and rustic with some feminine touches.

I want a place that isn't too overwhelming to care for but nice enough to welcome my family comfortably.
I want natural and simple home decor.
I want many windows with pretty window coverings.
I want comfy lawn chairs with a nice deck overlooking the water.

I want a dog to sit by my side as I drink my girly drink(s).
I want my kids to bring their kids to my home-y home.
So we can hang out.
Play.
And they can fetch me more girly drinks.

 

I am madly in love with barn wood stairs!
Source And beam ceilings!!!!!

 

 Ohmygoodness!  A bench made from barn beams!

If I had one, I might hug and kiss it.

 If anyone finds an old ladder, please get it for me, please and thank you.

I will love you forever.

And would probably hug and kiss you.

 

The reason for this post?

None.

 

What does your dream home look like?

 

 

 

A Tour.....Kinda

Ok, I admit it. My office is in complete disarray.

It is currently an empty room.

With a computer on an old kitchen table.
And empty boxes.
And toys.

So basically it is our junk room.

I am thoughtful enough to not put you through the misery of witnessing our mess.

I am nice like that.

You're welcome.

What I will do is show you a few non-messy pictures of the colours of the room that I will not be changing because we love them

And then I will show you the look I would love to have.

Sound good?

Then you can tell me to go ahead and spend thousands of dollars to make it look awesome.

And you will also give me the $$ to do it because youre nice like that.

Right?

This is the hardwood floor. It is dark. And I have a few of these baskets that will eventually be used in here.

This is the paint colour.I like to call it caramel but it almost looks orange in the picture. It is not orange. Honest.


The window. With a shade but no curtains. I will probably do a chocolate colour for the curtains.


This is what I would love to do.

Have a dark coloured desk with bookshelf.

A puurty area rug.

Some plants. Because I love plants!

And some artwork that we have sitting around waiting to be hung up.

Filing cabinet.

I would also love to have a leather arm chair with small side table but I couldnt find a picture that I liked.

Now I just need to win the lottery.

I guess I better start playing before I can win.

Or you could all be so nice and have a "Feel Sorry for Momma Day" and take donations for "Momma's Office Fund".

Just Kidding!!!

I was just thinking out loud.

Toodles!
