Looking Ahead

After discovering this Christmas that my little girl is a girly girl and loves make up and getting beautified, I keep looking at teen rooms and some ideas for her room when we get a house.

I saw this today and thought...that would be perfect.

I love this idea in a small home for a computer area too. If I was in this small condo any longer I might have used this in my dining room to hide my computer area.

Shadow Box...

I have two baby blessing outfits that need framing so that they can be remembered.

They bring special memories of my small children and I want them to be able to keep them when they are older.

I have been trying to find just the right shadow boxes.

I think I finally found it, the problem. I will have to duplicate it on my own.

I think it is so classy, and very doable (with my dad's help of coarse).

I can just picture the two blessing outfits hanging in my kids room.

Something Fresh

I love this Fresh Bedroom.

What do you think? I love her ideas for this room. You could even change out the accent color every once in a while for a change.

Vintage Sports Room

One day I want to have a 'Man Cave' for my hubby. Somewhere that was meant for watching sports.
The picture that I have in my head has a vintage feel.

Leather Couches.

Warm Colors.

Multiple Televisions...

Get the idea?

Okay, so here are a couple of inspirations that I am going to use when I actually have the space to create something like this.

Vintage Art..

Sports Decor...

Oh, and the multiple TV thing...I think Eric would be in heaven!

Kitchen Inspiration

I have been wanting to change my Kitchen for a while now. It is a little outdated. I also want to update it so that when we want to sale it, people are attracted to it.

When you walk in my front door, you immediately see the living room, dining room and kitchen (Yes that is how small it is).

Here is a pictures of what it looks like now.

I am still dreaming of changing it all.

The other day I found a perfect inspiration picture.

This is what I want to do with our Kitchen...

Okay, so here is my breakdown of how I think I can get it done for fairly inexpensive...

Sanding Sheets : $20 for two different set
2 Small Cans of Stain: $18.00
Polyurethane Spray : $10.97
Metal primer and Spray paint (Spray Hardware): $12
New Lighting Fixture: $30

Total: Less than $100

Now if I end up being able to tile the backslash that I LOVE in this photo, that is another $600 or so. But that is if my dad will help me get the job done (which I know he will).

What do you think of my ambitions? Do you think I can do it?

Wrap Around

Hubby and I always take time dreaming of future homes as I am sure many people do.

One thing that we actually agree on is to have a large or wrap around porch.

Here are a couple of pictures that are right out of my dreams.

To our continued dreaming...
