In my dream house...

Matthew and I seem to always be making comments about how we'll do this/won't do that in our "forever house". We've lived in so many house (9, not counting the two weeks that we moved back in with my parents for) that we really feel like we've gotten a feel for what we like and don't like in a house. When the subject came up again the other day Matthew mentioned that we probably won't remember most of it when we actually get to design and build our house. So, I thought I should start writing this stuff down as it comes to me. As luck would have it, I don't even remember what I had just said when he told me I wouldn't remember everything, so I guess really do need this list! There's no time frame, we won't be moving anytime soon (as far as I'm concerned, I've learned that what I think isn't always what God has planned for us by this point), I just thought it would be nice to have a place to write this stuff down as it comes up, and the blog seemed like a good spot. :)

Entryway

Living Room
Gas fireplace (with a big mantle! We haven't had a mantle since our first house, back when I didn't know what to do with it)

Dining Room

Kitchen
I think I want an appliance garage (we've never had one, I just think they look neat)
No corner sink (we don't have one, but my SIL does, and it doesn't work well)

The layout of this kitchen is exactly what I've been picturing in my head, only better. I love it!! I'd do it with a bit more splashes of color, and maybe a different backslash and floor... but as far as the layout, I want it!!

I love the look of all white cabinets and a fun color on the island!

Or keep the island white like the cabinets, but paint the stools a fun color like this (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!)




Bathrooms

Kids' Bedrooms

Master Bedroom

Master Bath
Two sinks!!!!
Large shower

Garage/Mudroom/Pantry hey, I'm dreaming here
It would be nice if the layout worked out so the garage entryway is next to the kitchen/mudroom/pantry to make bringing in groceries easier

Yard
